Party Places For Kids

Acapulco -- A Great Vacation Place for Kids

The popular impression of Acapulco is as a romantic getaway or a place for Spring Break parties, but in truth, the younger set also enjoys what Acapulco has to offer for a family vacation.

Beaches. The beaches inside the bay of Acapulco have waves, but they are calmer than out on the ocean front, and are just right for young children. At the beach you can take the kids on a jet ski ride, or climb aboard the big “banana.” Day trips on glass bottom boats to Isla Roqueta or excursions by boat into the bay are also good fun.

Kids’ Programs. Back at the hotel, you may find that the hotel activities desk has planned a special program just for children. Usually these activities are restricted to kids from about 6 years of age to about 12 years, and they involve pool activities, exercises, tours of the building, crafts, stories and videos. Kids’ Programs are not offered by every hotel, and usually they are set up just for high season or on weekends during the summer. If your hotel has a kids’ program, it is usually offered without additional charge.

CiCi Water Park. This water park has lots of amusements, rides, a “lazy river,” and best of all, swimming with dolphins. Delfines Paradise (with an office on Condesa Beach) also offers kids a chance to swim with dolphins in their own environment.

Parque Papagayo. Acapulco’s “central park” is a great place for strolling around, buying souvenirs and eating snacks. You can also go out in paddle boats, and the younger kids can enjoy inflated jumping equipment. A small train and a miniature bus take tours around. There is a model galleon in the lake, and lots of animals to look at. Kids enjoy feeding the ducks.

AquaPlanet. This attraction is in “La Isla” (in Acapulco’s “Diamond Zone”). Aquaplanet is an educational center for grade school children, designed to entertain as it explains about water conservation and ecology. Other options include a rock climbing wall, a large kid’s pool, mini-golf and bumper boats.

Mágico Mundo Marino is a marine museum with some water fun built in as well. It is found in between the Caleta and Caletilla beaches on the west side of Acapulco’s bay.

Other entertainment options for the kids include the malls, of course. Not only do Acapulco’s main shopping areas offer a big selection of first-run movies, but also video arcades and “fun centers.” Recorcholis is in the Gran Plaza. Another arcade is in Galerías Diana. In the Plaza Bahía shopping center there is a full-service bowling alley.

Excursions of several kinds are also in the offing. The Shotover Jet takes you in a high-speed hydrofoil along the Laguna de Tres Palos. This is a great chance to see and learn about tropical wildlife. Many families simply go to the Laguna and rent a boat for the day and go out on the lake. It is a self-guided tour to a beautiful tropical forest.

Families with older children can enjoy an historical tour, like the one of Fort San Diego, first built in 1616. There is also a small tour of the “House of Masks” near the fort, which kids in junior high and older can appreciate.

For nature lovers, the best hikes are up in the Veladero National Park, the natural, mountainous area that surrounds Acapulco.

If you take a short trip to Acapulco’s central square, or Zócalo, in the late afternoons or early evenings, you may arrive when the clowns are performing in the gazebo. If you are lucky, you will catch an impromptu show of music or dance.

Finally, browsing the local markets may be an activity that the kids will remember for a long time. The biggest is the Central Market downtown, which is busy with fish, meat and produce as well as all sorts of other merchandise. In Acapulco’s “Golden Zone” you will find several markets that cater to tourists with toys, clothing and souvenirs.

If you need the services of a babysitter while having a vacation in Acapulco, just ask at the concierge or reception desk. Almost all hotels can arrange for in-room baby sitting by a qualified person who has been screened in advance.

Picking a primary gripe about Disney's Move It is easy: In the post-Madagascar landscape of 2005, the infectious dance tune "I Like to Move It," first popularized by K.K. Project in 2002, is conspicuously, disappointingly absent. However, birthday-party booty-shakers will have forgotten their allegiance to K.K. Project's song; when Baha Men instruct them in their watered-down way to "Move It Like This." Standbys "Macarana," "U Can't Touch This," "Le Freak," "Kung Fu Fighting," and "I Got You (I Feel Good)" supply Mom ample cause to move it, too. --Tammy La Gorce

Description

Attention pizza lovers! Create your own "personal pizza" with this sturdy wooden pizza set. It features six thick slices served in a brightly colored tray, complete with cutter, spatula and over 50 toppings stored neatly in a wooden box. It's hours of imaginative fun any way you slice it.

With the Melissa & Doug Pizza Party, your child can make believe she's running a pizza parlor, doing everything from baking and slicing a pizza to serving it to her guests. This high-quality wood toy is designed for kids three and up and includes a "sliceable" pizza, a pizza tray, 54 pizza "toppings," a pizza cutter, and a server, all packaged in a sturdy wood container. Pizza Party Ages: 3+ What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Educational factor: Novelty factor: The Good: Sturdy wood toy will stand up to years of play The Challenging: Cute, painted, wood storage container is built to last, but would be improved with the addition of a cover In a Nutshell: Toy pizza with topping and utensils offers kids fun, creative props for imaginary play Kids love serving up their delicious pizza creations with the wooden pizza cutter and server. View larger. With 54 pizza toppings, children can customize pies for their friends and family. View larger. Make, Bake, and Serve Pizza The wooden pizza consists of six "slices" that are held together by Velcro. Each piece has three Velcro disks for attaching the pizza toppings. Your child can assemble the pizza right on the cheerful green pizza tray. Using pepperoni, mushroom, or peppers, or a combination of the three toppings, she can make a pizza that almost looks good enough to eat. Once the pizza is "ready," the child can use the pizza cutter to cut the pizza. It actually has a rolling blade, just like an authentic utensil, and since the pizza slices are held together with Velcro, it makes a fun crunching sound when it's cut. Your little pizza chef can then dish out pizza to her customers with the included server. (Note that the toy kitchen utensils are not meant for use with real food or with real kitchen appliances.) Play and Learn Pretend play is a very important part of childhood development, and the Pizza Party toy gives children fun, straightforward tools to inspire their imaginations. We also love that this toy is perfect for both independent and interactive playtime, giving parents the opportunity to help kids learn while playing, too. For example, children can learn counting concepts while preparing pizza: ask them to count the number of mushrooms on the pizza, or to put 10 peppers on her pizza. Sturdy Wood Construction The Pizza Party comes with 54 disk-shaped pizza toppings -- three of each kind -- which is enough to create an all-pepperoni, all-peppers, or all-mushroom pizza, as well as make up whatever combination your child chooses. We like that there are an abundance of toppings pieces, so that the inevitable loss of a couple of pieces won't ruin the whole toy. That said, we do wish that the cute, painted wood storage container came with a cover to help keep the pieces in place a bit better. With its sturdy wood construction and high-quality materials, this toy is made to last. And as with all of their products, Melissa & Doug states that this toy is made with non-toxic coatings and meets or exceeds US toy testing standards. About Melissa & Doug Started in the garage at Doug's parents' house in 1988, Melissa & Doug has grown to become one of the most popular toy makers in the world. Their toys have garnered dozens of parenting and "best toy" awards over the years, and have been featured widely in national print media and on television. One of the company's points of pride is that their toys are thoroughly tested for safety, and meet all US consumer product safety regulations. The toys are tested at the factory of origin during various phases of the production process to ensure that every toy meets the company's stringent safety requirements every step along the way. In particular, the paints and coatings on Melissa & Doug toys are tested frequently to be sure they meet or exceed government recommendations limiting heavy metals and lead in children's items. Since day one, Melissa & Doug has been in compliance with every US consumer product safety regulation and will continue to stay compliant as the laws continue to evolve, assuring parents that their children can have a safe childhood while playing with Melissa & Doug toys. What's in the box Toy pizza, 54 "pizza topping" pieces, wood pizza server and pizza cutter.

In WordWorld, words come alive, words save the day, and words become a child's best friend. Welcome to WordWorld, the first preschool series where words are truly the stars of the show! Come along for an adventurous romp into a colorful, vibrant world of words with the lovable, legible WordFriends, animals whose bodies are made up of the letters that spell the word they are! The WordFriends go on comic adventures and face challenges that can only be resolved with the right word. That word is built letter by letter, sound by sound, during the funky "Build a Word!" song at the end of every episode. Once the word is built it "morphs," or comes alive into the thing it is! Word building reinforces the pre-reading concept that letters (and their sounds) make words, and that words have real meaning...and power. The series also introduces literacy concepts that preschoolers will encounter as they become readers, such as sounding out letters and rhyming. But most of all, WordWorld helps children get excited about reading and see words as their friends. Includes these Episodes: Happy Birthday Dog! Dog's friends are planning a surprise birthday party for him, but they don't have a cake! With a little help from Pig, Frog gathers the letters C-A-K-E...but can he them to the party without ruining the surprise? Sh-Sh-Shark! When Duck befriends a Shark, he learns that the letters S and H make the "sh" sound, and everyone else discovers that you can't judge a shark by his sharp-toothed cover. The Mystery of the Disappearing Pie Pig's pie for Bear has gone missing! Have no fear Detective Sheep is ready to help her WordFriends follow the letter clues and solve the mystery of the disappearing pie! Snug as a Bug When Bug can't sleep because he needs to be snug, he and his favorite neighbor, Frog, have to figure out the end of the rhyme: "Snug as a bug in a..." Can YOU guess the end?
