Holidays with Kids Magazine - Volume 51

In this issue

From cultural city escapes to laidback beachside getaways, this issue has stories, inspiration, news and tips to suit all styles of family travel. The world’s coolest candy stores: Isn’t our candy-themed cover this issue just adorable? We thought so too, which is why we are opening our 51st edition of Holiday with Kids with a countdown of the coolest lolly stores in the world for little sweet-toothed munchers to lust after. As always our writers have been jet setting around the world in search of the latest and greatest in family travel. We learn about the life of a gaucho in Argentina, meet Moana in Hawaii, explore the remote and scenic landscape of Tōhoku in Japan, get lost among the temples of Cambodia, get an insider’s guide to the Philippines, trek the heights of Machu Picchu, walk the streets of Cape Town and find out why Fiji’s Castaway is the most family-friendly island on Earth. Back on our home turf, we discover why Lord Howe Island is a great getaway for families with teens, round up the best places for Australian snow bunnies to slide down the slopes, reveal the best of kid-friendly South Australia beyond Adelaide, investigate the coolest cultural events and attractions for little ones in Melbourne in 2017, cycle the beaches of Tropical North Queensland, and spend a night sleeping among animals in Dubbo. For those with a soft spot for hashtags, we follow social media stars – The Blonde Nomads – along the east coast on a camping adventure. To up the cute factor this issue we asked our younger readers why they love camping holidays so much to get a kids’ perspective on why Aussie families just can’t get enough of the great outdoors – trust us, their charming answers will have you laughing out loud.
