Attractions & things to do for the kids in your life

Nathalie's tips for a smooth outing

I recommend one adult per age group when visiting an amusement centre (going with another family can help). Otherwise, older siblings get bored to tears in the kiddie rides, and young ones have to wait while their older siblings enjoy big kids rides.

Parades

AMUSEMENT CORNER: Parades

Kids dig parades because of the contagious anticipation of the crowd between the floats. In small towns, there's the added fun of hearing people cheering madly at their peers in the parade. (Please note that we'll be adding family outings to this section until the end of 2012.)
