If you are trying to plan a family holiday and have children that are of a different age, then you may struggle when it comes to choosing where to go and what activities to do. Children’s ideas of fun and what they enjoy to do can vary a lot from one age to another. What a three-year-old may think is great can be very different to what a twelve-year-old will want to do and you want to be able to try and please both whilst still enjoying the holiday yourself.

If there are two adults going it may be that for part of the holiday you can split your time and can do separate activities that each child will enjoy. This does mean though that you do not get to spend time with your partner or as a family all together. You could also try and find activities that vary dependant on ages such as swimming where the children can go on different slides etc depending upon their age and ability.

Research shows that the majority of children enjoy spending time on the beach when on holiday at varying ages. This is often free too so is a cheap day out for everyone. Even if the weather is not great, having a walk across the beach or paddling your feet in the sea can be done come rain or shine.
