Kid and Family Friendly Activities Tulum

Yay! You've made it to Tulum. There are a ton of amazing things to do and here are our list of kid and family friendly activities in Tulum that will help ensure you and your family have a great time. These recs come from the founder of Anana Babysitting Tulum who worked as a Biologist at UCLA before returning to Mexico in 2017.

Explore the Tulum Ruins: Take your kids on an adventure through history as you explore the ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum. This archeological site is perched on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea and is an educational and visually stunning experience.

Locals tips: There is no shade in the ruins. We recommend that you go as early as possible. Make sure you bring small bills to pay the national park entrance (61 pesos per person) + the ruins fee 95 pesos.

Take a Cenote Tour: A cenote is the entrance to the underground river system here on the Yucatan Peninsula caused by the collapse of limestone bedrock, and there are plenty of them to explore in Tulum.

Local Tips: Cenotes are great for older kids who love swimming. There is an immediate drop off one you leave the entrance steps so make sure you bring a life jacket.

Pro tip: Want to ensure you go to the coolest cenotes? (the ones you won't see on instagram) message a UCLA Biologist to take you out on tour.

Spend a day at the Beach: Tulum's beaches are some of the most beautiful in the world, with crystal clear waters and powdery white sand. Spend a day soaking up the sun, building sandcastles, and playing in the waves.

Local tip: La Zebra and Ikal are the most kid friendly beach clubs in the area. Follow this link to ensure you can find Ikal as the one on google maps isn't accurate and says you need to bushwack.

And for an adults only date, count on the most professional and experienced sitters in the area, Anana Babysitting Tulum.
