Tips for a Kid-Friendly Road Trip
Traveling with kids? Apollo makes it easy with these handy tips:
Pack for Fun: Bring along your little ones’ favorite games, books, and outdoor gear. Think frisbees, kites, or a nature scavenger hunt list to keep everyone engaged.
Plan for Breaks: Kids love exploring, so plan regular stops at family-friendly sites. Let them stretch, play, and make the journey as memorable as the destination.
Roadside Snacks & Easy Meals: With a fully-equipped kitchen, you can prepare kid-approved snacks and meals on the go, perfect for those “Are we there yet?” moments.
Kid-Approved Destinations & Activities
Turn your holiday into an adventure they’ll never forget:
Beachside Stops: Set up your campervan by the beach for endless sandcastles, games, and sunsets.
National Parks & Wildlife: Many of Australia and New Zealand’s national parks offer child-friendly trails where kids can spot wildlife and learn about nature.
Historic Sites & Landmarks: Give them a glimpse of history at iconic stops, from ancient sites to quirky roadside attractions.
Campground Activities: Many campgrounds have fun amenities like pools, play areas, and group activities that are perfect for young explorers.
Games / Board Games: Bring along your kid’s favorite board game if they offer it in travel size! Best of both worlds, a familiar activity your kid can enjoy and less space is taken up in your bags. If you can’t find any travel-size games, opt for your classic deck of cards or new small games that are easily packable.
Setting up camp or helping with cooking: Having your kid’s help with simple tasks when setting up camp can occupy them for a bit. They will also feel like they are contributing. By having them help set up camping chairs or collect sticks and wood for a fire, you’ll hopefully occupy enough time to think of the next activity while also crossing off items on the to-do list. When all else fails, have the iPad or phone charged and shows or movies downloaded.
