Whether you’re planning your first trip or next trip to Maui, it can feel overwhelming trying to figure out what’s actually worth your time, especially when you’re traveling with kids.
The good news is that Maui one of those rare destinations that really does have something for everyone. One day you can be watching the sunrise from above the clouds, the next you’re swimming at a beach with sea turtles, hiking through a bamboo forest, or grabbing shave ice after a morning adventure. The best part is you don’t have to cram everything into one trip. Read: How we went to Hawaii for two weeks for only $67.20 total for flights and hotels.
I’ll be the first to admit it: if I’m planning a trip, there is a 90% chance I’m trying to figure out how to get back to Italy.

I’m sharing all my best tips and favorite stops so you can skip the stress and get straight to the magic. Andiamo!
Chattanooga with kids turned out to be one of those trips where I kept thinking, why did we wait so long to come here? I had heard good things, but I did not expect a city this walkable, this packed with things for families to do, and this easy to navigate with two boys in…
The Algarve is one of those places that can be as relaxed or as busy as you make it. You can spend four days doing nothing but beach mornings and pool afternoons, or you can build a fun little loop through the Algarve region that keeps kids entertained without turning the trip into a constant car-seat shuffle.
This 4-day Algarve itinerary is built around short drives, kid-friendly stops, and downtime that actually feels relaxing. I love it as an add on if you are also visiting Lisbon as part of a larger Portugal trip.
Lisbon is one of those cities that works beautifully for families when you pair it with a slower pace. It’s compact, colorful, full of viewpoints and snacks, and there’s always something new to look at. The key is building your days around neighborhoods, so you’re not zig-zagging over hills nonstop.
If you’ve been searching what to do in Lisbon, and you want a list that actually fits a family trip, this is it. These are my 20 must do in Lisbon activities, with kid-friendly notes and the little logistics that will make your trip unforgettable.
Belém is an easy day trip from Lisbon with Jerónimos Monastery, Belém Tower, a scenic waterfront walk, and the original Pastéis de Belém. Use this guide to plan the best things to do in Belém in one simple route.
Tivoli Gardens was at the very top of our list when we started planning Copenhagen with kids. It is right in the middle of the city, it feels like a classic amusement park and a botanical garden at the same time, and it works just as well for a quick afternoon as it does for a full day. We spent most of the day bouncing between kid-friendly rides, snack stops, and quiet corners where the boys (ages 6 and 4 at the time) could run around or just watch the lights.
In this guide, I’ll walk through what Tivoli Gardens is, how Tivoli Gardens tickets work, our favorite rides, family-friendly food options and practical tips for visiting with kids.
