Helpful Tips for your Thrilling Florida Vacation!
The family summer vacation in Florida is a time-honored tradition, and it often includes a trip to one of our state’s incredible amusement parks. But, while the rides and other attractions at these parks are typically safe, it pays to be vigilant, particularly if you’re visiting with children. Here are some things to keep in mind that will help make sure your family vacation is full of fun, instead of worry. No matter what kind of park you’re visiting (or even if you’re simply attending a public event) the following tips can help ensure your safety and good time:
– Set up an emergency meeting place, and use the buddy system. This can help in case someone gets separated from your group, and make sure children are never alone. Even if kids typically use the restroom by themselves, the unfamiliar area combined with the crowds and chaos may be too much for them to handle.
– Memorize phone numbers. Don’t rely on your mobile phone’s contact list. Commit at least one party member’s phone number to memory in case you’re lost without your phone or after your battery’s been drained. Have children do the same.
– Beat the heat. Monitor how much time children spend in the sun, bring (and use) sunscreen and drink plenty of fluids throughout the day to stay hydrated. Hats and sunglasses may help further.
– Dress for comfort. It’s easy to log several miles while exploring a large amusement park by foot. Comfortable shoes are a must, as is weather-appropriate attire. Bags should be comfortable enough for day-long use and have several straps to help distribute the load.
– Watch where you’re going. Amusement parks often are crowded, so always be aware of what’s around you — both for your safety and that of others. Never go into restricted areas, and keep a close eye on your belongings.
No matter your situation, a trip to the amusement park can become a cherished family memory, so long as you don’t try to overdo it. Because having fun is what summer is all about!
