If what you're looking for is a place where to take the kids, where you can enjoy each other's company in a natural environment, look no further. They will learn a lot, and will have plenty to do.
- Playgrounds - Aside from the hiking, horseback riding, and plethora of natural activities listed elsewhere on this site, we've arranged just about everywhere on the resort playgrounds for them to enjoy. If you're enjoying your dinner and the kids are ready to move, relax. Let them head to the playground next to the restaurant filled with playhouses, swings, see-saws, slides, even a fire truck and a train. From the restaurant you can keep a lazy eye on them as they exert some energies. There are several cabins with swing sets strategically located nearby so that the kids can have a little fun while you sit and enjoy the scenery, or the next chapter of that book!
- Take them Hiking - The best hikes for little ones in the small Las Playitas hike which loops around the lake by the restaurant. Here they can chase butterflies, hummingbirds, frogs. Throw rocks in the water, gather a cupful of tadpoles, gather flowers, or just sit and tell them a story. Pick up a nature guide at the front desk, it will give them a list of things to look for and provide nature information for them to enjoy.
- Let them ride a horse - Kids will never forget their first time on a horse, or second, or third... It is always a wonderful experience to sit on a horse as you ride around the estate. We have guides who can guide the horse for them and you can simply follow along.
- Enjoy the animals - Our stables are filled with wonderful animals all kids love: donkeys, cows, pigs, chickens, goats, geese, ducks, and the list goes on. Let them see the animals, let them pet the animals, they will learn so much without even noticing it. When at the stables, ask if any new born animals are available to see. With as many animals as the farm has, you're bound to see some new piglets, a foal, a kid or maybe the arrivel of 500 chicks.
- Find the Fort - Somewhere in the mountain off the Bavaria Trail is a hidden fort. This is the ideal place for a game of king of the mountain, hide and seek, playhouse, or any game their little minds (or yours) can come up with. You never know, you might even find hidden treasures!
- Let us host their birthday - The ideal spot for a unique birthday party. We use the fort to host birthday parties, the kids spend most of their time running around the fort and playing all sorts of games, but they still find time to break a pinata, eat a pic nic meal, and even go to the petting zoo. We bring up a wide array of animals for the kids to enjoy and see up close, we've brought calves, goats, chickens, piglets, horses, and donkeys.
- Nature crafts - Make a hat with nature's gifts of twigs, leafs and feathers; make a picture frame with Spanish moss, sticks and cardboard; play pooh sticks on one of our many creeks. Ask for a list of children nature ideas at the front desk.
- Make your own adventure - The opportunity for quality family time are endless, don't let us tell you how to spend your time, let your kids be your guide and let them come up with an agenda of adventure.
