When traveling with your family to a new place, consider attending the arts, or cultural and dance events, for a more special well rounded experience. Visit art museums and art galleries, ask about art shows and art walks and some parks will have art shows throughout the year. When traveling with kids, it is vital to teach them about arts and culture while visiting different places. It can enrich their lives and make them better appreciate other lives and cultures, and they will learn more than they would in most classrooms too. Attend local history and cultural museums, ethnic museums too. Ask if there are any specialty fairs and festivals in town as well. How about eating dinner at a cultural restaurant, like Italian, Mexican or Asian too? Or even local small family diners, that are often steeped in local history themselves. In the dance dept, see a dance show, or play, like ballet, tap, hip hop, salsa and more. With the schools in the area, ask about dance academies and go see students perform dance as well in school and college theatres and plays. While planning your family getaway, check ahead for some fun art, dance and cultural events you and your family and kids can enjoy while traveling.
