PEI - A Children's Playground
With white (and even red) sand for building sand castles and open green spaces for running and playing, PEI is a child's dream vacation spot. This island, which enchanted Anne in "Anne of Green Gables," still delights children from around the world. If a child is an 'Anne' fan, the magical story captured their heart but the pure beauty of the province will make a lasting memory and unforgettable impression.
Summer fun for kids can be just simple things - camping on the beach or a campfire and marshmallow roast. With a child's soaring imagination, a family walk on the beach can yield buried treasures and a bicycle ride on a scenic path always brings new adventures. Nothing stirs a child's sense of wonder more than a visit to an island lighthouse.
After all, kids and water are synonymous with summer fun. This tiny island paradise provides the warm ocean. All that's missing is your kids - for the paddling, swimming, and every water activity under the sun.
Every child will enjoy the fun-filled theme parks. Ride the PEI Miniature Railway at Elmira (one of seven museum and heritage sites) which also features one of Canada's largest model train collections. Try out a game of miniature golf at Mariner's Cove Miniature Golf or River of Adventure Mini Golf - both family-friendly facilities located in charming Cavendish. An annual 'Anne of Green Gables Children's Festival' (August 21-August 22, 2010), held at Green Gables House, always charms the kids.
Going 'Above and Beeyond' will thrill the kids. The whole family can enjoy an 'Above and Beeyond' hot air balloon ride where everyone drifts with the prevailing winds over the hills, forests, and streams of this "Gentle Island." A unique way to see this beautiful province!
The 'Wax World of Stars' in Cavendish is fun for adults and kids. When classics like Snow White, Pinocchio, and Alice await, children are bound to have a good time. They can pose with Donkey and Shrek for that memorable photo.
A national park, as well as provincial and private parks, provides campsites and all kinds of activities for children. Mill River Provincial Park holds a Kids Day (July 9, 2010). Besides daily programming and supervised swimming, four of the larger parks - Mill River, Jacques Cartier, Cedar Dunes, and Cabot Beach - offer a full slate of interesting and educational programs. Cabot Beach has a large day-use area with playground equipment, an activity centre with children's programs, and a naturalist on staff who provides guided nature walks. Kids and adults can learn about the local area - its wildlife and marine life as well as the region's trees and plants.
If families do not want to camp in the parks, they can always stay in one of the many comfortable PEI cottages and hotels. Every area in PEI has children's events as well as fun festivals for the whole family. Wherever a family travels in this 'clean and green' province, they will always find a children's playground.
