For so long, Cuba was shrouded in mystery for many Americans. Despite its proximity to the US, travel restrictions made a vacation to Cuba unthinkable, and visiting now means your children will be the first in a generation to set foot here. Expect limited tourism infrastructure offset by limitless opportunities for meaningful conversation as a family. Cuba is not just for the serious; light-hearted and kid-friendly experiences include salsa dancing lessons, rides in vintage cars and pick-up soccer games with local kids. Hotels aren’t always the best option for accommodations, as they typically are state-run and very dated. Instead, book kid-friendly gems like privately run bed and breakfasts that immerse your family in local neighborhoods.
