Kid specific and depends on how long you'll be in any one place. I wish my parents had done this when visiting my grandparents for a month every single summer. I hated not seeing any kids for so long. I was incredibly lonely. I kept that time in mind during covid isolation.

I also was the random kid that befriended the granddaughter of some neighbors up the street from my house when she had to visit during holidays.

Ask your kid. Mine would be vehemently opposed.
