    Safety Tips for Family Adventures

    When you take your kids to see Flagstaff, it’s important to put safety first. Here are some very important safety tips to remember:

    1. Stay Hydrated

    Staying hydrated is important because Flagstaff is high up and has a dry climate. Encourage your kids to drink a lot of water all day, especially when they are playing outside.

    2. Dress Appropriately

    Flagstaff’s weather can change quickly, so it’s important to wear clothes. Be ready for changes in the weather and make sure everyone has hats, sunscreen, and comfortable shoes.

    3. Plan for Altitude

    Flagstaff is about 7,000 feet above sea level, which may make some people feel sick because of the altitude. Take it easy the first few days so your family can get used to the new place.

    4. Follow Trail Etiquette

    Remind your kids to stay on marked trails when hiking or visiting nature trails, to be kind to wildlife, and to leave no trace by picking up their trash.

    Tips for Traveling with Kids

    Taking kids on a trip can be a fun and fulfilling thing to do. Here are some ways to make your trip to Flagstaff with your family more fun:

    1. Plan Age-Appropriate Activities

    When making plans, think about what your kids like and how old they are. Look for events and places to visit that are geared toward their age group to make sure they have a great time.

    2. Take Breaks and Pace Yourself

    During the day, kids may need breaks and time to chill out. Plan breaks for snacks, rest, and relaxing so they don’t get too tired or stressed out.

    3. Involve the Kids in Planning

    Include your kids in making plans for the trip. Let them choose some activities or sights that they think will be fun. This will get them more interested in the trip and get them more excited about it.

    4. Pack Essentials

    Bring snacks, water bottles, sunscreen, bug spray, and anything else you and your family might need when you go out. Having these things on hand will make sure that everyone is relaxed and ready.

    5. Capture the Memories

    Give your kids a journal or throwaway camera to encourage them to write down what they do. Let them take pictures, draw pictures, or write about their favorite parts of the trip.
