Taking kids to Cuba can be a delightful experience.  There is no place in the world that treats and loves kids any more than Cuba.  It just may be the most family oriented society on the face of the earth.  Not only do they love their own kids....they love all kids.

Additionally, Cuba is without a doubt the safest country for travel in the Western Hemisphere.  There is virtually no crime, no drug problems plus the care of all children is primary.  This is one place that "it takes a village to raise a child", and it works.

Women and children can actually walk the streets of any Cuban city even at night without fear.  There are few cars on the road other than government vehicles and rental tourists cars.  There aren't any street gangs, homeless people, hand guns, etc.  It is as close as you can get to a crime free society. 

The Cubans are very healthy with a life expectancy about the same as ours.  Their infant morality rates are better than in some American cities.  Everyone in Cuba gets free health care and education.  Their literacy rates are better than ours.

Even though you might read and hear a lot about the incredible nightlife in Cuba, sex, Cuban music, etc., there are places like Varadero Beach, Cayo Largo, Cayo Coco, Guardalavaca and others that are pretty much dedicated to tourism for families with children.

Kids under age two usually stay at hotels for free.  Kids between age 2-12 are charged 50% of the adult rates and kids over 12 pay adult prices.

We think Cuba is tops as a place to take your kids (all ages).
