[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding Xcaret the theme park, and not the nearby AI resort, I found it to be a really enjoyable experience with lots of varied activities.  We spent one full day there...from opening until the end of the evening's musical spectacular.  If I had known how fun it was going to be, I would have allocated another day.

It is a highly-planned theme park.  There were many activities and shows.  We had lunch at a buffet restaurant in the middle of the park.  The buffet had many choices.  I was sorry I had to follow travel-related dietary precautions.

We did have to stay with our elementary-aged kids for the day but my husband took them around for part of the day so I could attend the folkloric presentations.  The Pre-Columbian dancing was some of the coolest folkloric dancing I've ever seen.

Our whole family enjoyed the evening variety show (mainly music, dancing', and acrobatics).

If you find a resort with easy access to the Xcaret theme park you can easily fill two days with activities selected at whim on the day of.

This sounds incredible - what age-range for kids is ideal for this park?  Would 4 be too young?[/quote]

A 4 year old could go but probably would need to go at a slow pace that might alter what the supervising parent can do.  The water activities that involve swimming are better for older kids.

If your kid would be content to watch a trick riding show for 30 minutes, an acrobat show for 30 minutes, and a 2 hour musical show from bleachers it could work out. (I believe people had babies at the evening show.)  If your child is patient and a good walker and gets interested in live entertainment vs. t.v. it could be fun.

The park information is on the web.  I suggest reading more detailed reviews to confirm.  It certainly is a family-friendly, all-ages park.  But not overtly tailored to the very young kids as far as I recall.  Mine were mid-elementary when we went.[/quote]

This is super helpful, thanks!  We can certainly plan for this when the kids are a little older, no rush.[/quote]
