Amy and her kids at Arches National Park, UT
There are hundreds of websites devoted to providing tips, rates, and reviews for kid-friendly vacations to top family destinations.
This is not one of them.
Instead, Pit Stops for Kids! is all about getting there.
Here you’ll find real parent reviews on all the road-side attractions, restaurants, motels, parks, and airport playspaces you’ll need along the way.
My name is Amy, and I’m a pro at folding just about any brand of stroller, finding wet wipes at a moment’s notice, and stufing a week’s worth of laundry into one suitcase. (Oh, and I haven’t had a moment’s peace on an airplane since approximately 1998.)
If you travel with kids, too, you know that we all find ourselves spending a bit more ‘quality’ time in the car and in airports with our children than we’d like, usually in unfamiliar territory while wondering, “Where’s the best place to stop? Is there a kid-friendly option? How about a park? A play area? A diaper-changing station? Anywhere welcoming I can park for fifteen minutes (or however long it takes to regain my sanity)?”
And the thing is, someone out there knows. Maybe you. Maybe you’ve driven a particular stretch of road to Grandma’s house more times than you can count, and could tell me exactly where to stop for the cleanest McDonald’s and the most interesting road-side attraction.
Or maybe you’re planning a long road trip through several unfamiliar states and this is exactly the type of information you need.
That’s why Pit Stops for Kids! is a collaborative effort. It’s a place to share your reviews of the places you’ve stopped along the way (whether you’ve been there once or one hundred times), and to take advantage of the experience and information other parents have to offer.
Take a moment to look around, read some reviews, submit your own, and when the time comes, have a great trip!
