13 Exciting Things to Do In La Fortuna with Kids

13 Exciting Things to Do In La Fortuna with Kids
This family's experience:

Activities: We took our kids and every kid said this was one of their favorite things that we've done in the past 4 months of traveling. We walked about 3km through the jungle, and we got an up-close view of several different layers of the rain forest around us

Highlights: The highlight is of course, the hanging suspension bridges. There are a total of 16 bridges, but only 6 of those are hanging suspension bridges. The longest hanging bridge at Arenal is 97 meters long and 73 meters high ✨

Highlights: The kids loved walking across the hanging bridges and looking down at the rainforest below. It was a great way to experience the rainforest up close ✨

Easy to Follow Costa Rica Family Itinerary (7, 10, 14 days)
This family's experience:

Activities: Since our kids didn’t want to zip line, we did the Mistico hanging bridges instead. It may not have had the adrenaline, but it did have great views that we could actually stop and enjoy for a while. Mistico has 16 bridges hanging among the tops of the trees. And when you’re not on a bridge, you’ll be on a trail leading you through the jungle. Interpretive signs along the way point out when to really stop and listen
