So, Just What is Family-Friendly?
Family Friendly – A Definition (per Travel Insights that is):

A place where you can feel comfortable bringing your children whether they’re tots or teens - A place where the occasional temper tantrum, meltdown, or shrilling scream won’t be embarrassing? or mark the end of your public appearances-A place where you and your children are made to feel truly welcome.

With so many places these days claiming to be “family-friendly” it’s often quite difficult to determine if in fact it’s really true - until it’s too late that is. If you have kids, I’m sure you’ve experienced the cold chill that suddenly arises as staffers shudder and wince at the sight of small children - struggling to summon a smile to show how thrilled they are that you’ve come – this would be a sure sign that they’re really not as “family-friendly” as they claim. This, however, won’t be the case upon entering the establishments listed throughout this site - staffers won’t wince at the sight of your children, or cringe at the thought of having to help you – they will instead make you feel as if you and your family are VIP’s, that you are truly welcome, and that your business is genuinely appreciated.
