<div>My first and biggest tip for <a href="https://www.nps.gov/grca/index.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://www.nps.gov/grca/index.htm&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1503747994374000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHHjJUZd7pVn4E7lUpZv9cywZuPfA">Grand Canyon National Park</a> is to stay in Grand Canyon Village. The park is simply huge and if you stay outside, not inly will you miss the spectacular sunrises, but you will spend time driving in and out of the park. If you are only there for a short period, staying in the village is definitely worth it! Hotels inside the village range in price from splurge-worthy to bargain, so there&#8217;s something for every budget. Just book as early as possible to ensure you get a room!</div>
<div></div>
<div>We arrived at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://fave.co/2onVvoc">Yavapai Lodge</a> at night after checking into our mule ride for the next morning. Our day in the Grand Canyon started early and ended late &#8212; but it was an amazing one! Here&#8217;s our must-do&#8217;s for a day at Grand Canyon National Park!</div>
<div></div>
<ol>
<li><strong>Mule Ride</strong><br />
<img data-attachment-id="34465" data-permalink="https://allthingschic.net/2017/08/one_day_in_grand_canyon.html/grand-canyon-mule-ride" data-orig-file="https://allthingschic.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Grand-Canyon-Mule-RIde.jpg" data-orig-size="600,450" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="Grand Canyon Mule RIde" data-image-description="" data-medium-file="https://allthingschic.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Grand-Canyon-Mule-RIde-350x263.jpg" data-large-file="https://allthingschic.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Grand-Canyon-Mule-RIde-500x375.jpg" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-34465" src="https://allthingschic.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Grand-Canyon-Mule-RIde.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" srcset="https://allthingschic.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Grand-Canyon-Mule-RIde.jpg 600w, https://allthingschic.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Grand-Canyon-Mule-RIde-350x263.jpg 350w, https://allthingschic.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Grand-Canyon-Mule-RIde-500x375.jpg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /><br />
This is definitely a splurge &#8211; a mule ride is not cheap. But 150% worth every penny! The trail ride down into the canyon with an overnight stay at Phantom Ranch is tricky to secure &#8211; this books up over a year in advance and starting in 2019 will only be available on a lottery system. But the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.grandcanyonlodges.com/things-to-do/mule-trips/">Canyon Vista Mule ride </a>is perfect for kids!The Canyon Vista Mule ride is a 4-mile ride that has you in the saddle for about 3 hours total (which is plenty long for smaller kids!) along the new East Rim Trail that was built by the National Park Service. While you are on the edge of the trail, you generally have a few feet between you and the drop, so it&#8217;s a little less nerve-wracking! Two things to know: First, safety is the #1 concern for a mule ride. Height, weight, age limits and dress codes are STRICTLY enforced. Make sure your children qualify before they arrive with their hearts set on a ride!  Second, while you are not right along the rim, you are up high on a mule and really close to the edge, so if you are afraid of heights, you may want to skip this!</li>

Although it is a fairly long hike, it&#8217;s very low impact since the trail has a minimal elevation level the entire way through. For those who wish to bike the trail or who have little ones in strollers, the trail is ideally suited because it&#8217;s paved almost entirely throughout, making it easy to navigate.<br />
While it&#8217;s an easy hike in terms of terrain, there aren&#8217;t many places to stop for food or water along the trail, so, definitely bring snacks and plenty of water for the hike. I&#8217;d also advise traveling either in the early morning before heat kicks in or go during the late afternoon when it&#8217;s cooler and the trail is shadier.</li>
<li><strong>Lunch at Bright Angel Lodge</strong>.<br />

History buffs can&#8217;t help but love the Bright Angel Lodge. It has been around since 1935 and is considered to be a National Historic Landmark. It started out as a hotel, then transitioned into a camp before finally becoming a lodge. These days the lodge is home to 90 cabins, a family friendly dining options and is a known historical train station, which the kids thought was super interesting.<br />
We weren&#8217;t able to snag a room here, but just eating at the Harvey House Cafe inside the lodge is a treat! The restaurant is casual and comfortable with classic food your kids will eat &#8211; but you&#8217;ll appreciate the historical significance as you enjoy vintage diner food!</li>

The Bright Angel Trail is a dirt based trail that goes into the canyon &#8211; this is probably the trail you picture when you think of hiking the Grand Canyon! I wouldn&#8217;t recommend for little ones as the incline is rather steep and there are no guard rails along the dramatic drop-offs. But for children who are 10+, the trail should be manageable. It is recommended that you give uphill hikers the right away while on the trail and to choose the time of your hike wisely due to the heat as well as lack of shade at different points of the day.  We were there is April (as you can see by how bundled up I am!) so we were able to do the hike after lunch with no problem. We made it a mile down before we decided to hike up so we could make it to the sunset.</li>
<li><strong>Sunset at Yavapai Point</strong>.<br />

Located in close proximity to the South Rim visitor center, Yavapai Point is a wonderful vantage point for some of the most amazing views of the Grand Canyon and surrounding sights such as the Colorado River, and Bright Angel Canyon. You can also view the Phantom Ranch, Bright Angel and North Kaibab Trails from your perch at Yavapai Point.<br />
Get there early! Parking is very limited and the good vantage spots get crowded long before sunset.</li>

<div>When visiting the Grand Canyon National Park, there is an endless list of things to experience and places to explore. We only had one full day and two nights &#8211; but we could have easily spent a week and still had more to see! My list only covers a handful of the exciting things available for visitors to enjoy but trust me when I say, there&#8217;s something for the entire family to enjoy during the trip of a lifetime at the Grand Canyon!</div>

<p>When you first walk into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, you will be amazed &#8211; just like Harry was. The attention to detail is just incredible and nothing was left out. From snow-crested rooftops to butterbeer, this is an experience like no other.</p>

<p>One activity that is really cool is after you pick out your wand at Ollivander&#8217;s. If you have one of the special interactive ones you will be able to go around and perform “spells” throughout the park. You will know which ones they are on the map. But, just like magic, not everything is as it seems. There are hidden spell places that will take you off of the beaten path and show you a world you didn’t know existed.</p>

Ollivander Wand Ceremony – The ceremony is a short show where one person from the audience is chosen to try out different wands. It’s a mimic of the wand choosing ceremony from the actual Harry Potter books. Afterwards, you are free to browse Ollivander&#8217;s to find your own wand. Both Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley have the wand shop, but only Diagon does the ceremony. Another great tip is if you have a child that wants to do it, try to watch the line and go in with a group of adults. They lean more to picking out children but the more kids they are, the less likely yours will be picked. Another great way to stack the odds in your favor is to have your child dress up like their favorite character.</p>

<p>Escape from Gringotts – Everyone remembers the iconic Deathly Hallows scene with Harry, Ron and Hermione. This ride takes that and puts you right in the action of the escape. You’ll have to break in, and out, and avoid dragons as well as death eaters. Escape from Gringotts is found in Diagon Alley. This was one of my favorite rides because they animatronics was amazing.</p>
<p>Dragon Challenge – This fast-paced roller coaster is located in Hogsmeade. It’s two different coasters on separate tracks that race against each other. Set around the theme of the first challenge for the Triwizard tournament, be prepared to ride on either a Chinese Fireball or a Hungarian Horntail. (I thought the Chinese Fireball was more intense!)</p>
<p>Hogwarts and the Forbidden Journey – We’ve all wondered what’s it’s like to ride on a broomstick, right? Well, in Hogwarts and the Forbidden Journey you get to experience just that. What starts as a late night sneak out to play quidditch turns into a flight through the forbidden forest. The ride queue for this one is uniquely special considering you get to walk through Hogwarts. The Forbidden Journey is in Hogsmeade and is one of the longest waits due to being popular. But, it&#8217;s totally worth it!</p>

<p>Hogwarts Express – Okay, so this isn’t really a ride you would expect. It’s a relaxing train ride that shows a different story from the two different destinations. You sit in a carriage car much like the Hogwarts Students did at the beginning of each school year. It’s a great way to have a few minutes to yourself to relax. You board the train at King&#8217;s Cross or Hogsmeade Station. Make sure you ride it both ways because the story is different each way. You need to have a multi-park pass in order to ride this one.</p>

<p>Ever since I can remember I&#8217;ve had a love for traveling. As a kid, I used to take trips with my family, sometimes local to home or others, from state to state. My childhood trips fueled a dream of worldwide travel but these days I find myself enjoying spontaneous trips with my family, which are serving to keep me content until I can make my dreams for worldwide travel a reality. Over the last few years, we&#8217;ve traveled to some great places as a family and have made memories that I know will last a lifetime.</p>
<p id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490012006192_28463">One of our more recent trips, that we took last year, was to a beautiful town called Madison, located on the coast of Connecticut. Known to have the states longest beach, Madison is a tourist hotspot, especially during the summer months when schools are out on vacation and looking to soak up the sun in their leisure time. The town center is also a great place to visit if you&#8217;re in search of some shopping, eateries or casual places to spend time when you&#8217;re not touring the town or taking advantage of the sunny weather down at the beach.</p>

<p id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490012006192_28496">When my family and I visited Madison, we were able to stay at the gorgeous . Located within walking distance to their attended beach, this particular hotel is known for its spa properties as well as its luxurious, modern decor and was absolutely lovely from top to bottom. Whether you&#8217;re looking for a romantic getaway for you and your significant other or as a vacation destination for the entire family, the Madison Beach Hotel couldn&#8217;t be more ideal.</p>

<p id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490012006192_28500">The hotel is situated in a perfect location, thanks to access to the private beach, for activities such as kayaking, walking, biking, fishing and even bird watching. If you&#8217;re more into exploring the town and shopping rather than sport like activities, then you won&#8217;t be disappointed by the boutiques, eateries and specialty shops that Madison has to offer. If you&#8217;re a fan of nostalgia, there&#8217;s also a neat old-fashioned movie theater that you can visit for an evening of old-timey entertainment. Don&#8217;t miss the famous RJ Julia Bookshop.</p>

<p>The hotel itself is magnificent. The rooms and suites are decorated in a style that is both elegant and comfortable, providing couples and families a stay that they can&#8217;t get enough of. The rooms overlook the Atlantic Ocean&#8217;s Long Island Sound and also feature free wi-fi (great if you&#8217;re bringing work with you) a refrigerator (keeping snacks handy and cutting costs of dining out is essential when vacationing with family!) and bedding that&#8217;ll make you wish you never had to get out of bed!</p>

<p>One of my favorite things about our room was the bathroom. It sounds silly but I love to lock myself in a nice bathroom while on vacation and just soak in a tub of hot water to melt away the stress of the day. As an added bonus, the Madison&#8217;s bathroom is built using gorgeous Italian Marble so you really feel like you&#8217;re staying in luxury.</p>
<p>Staying at the Madison Beach Hotel was so much for my family and I. We dined at some delicious places as a family, explored the beach and indulged in some much-needed bonding time together. Between the luxurious rooms, plethora of amenities to choose from and the many activities available in the surrounding area, it was truly a fantastic experience.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you visit or live in the city that never sleeps, finding things to entertain your children can get quite expensive! Never fear! There are so many options to save some money while still having a great time with your family. Here are a few <strong>free or cheap activities for kids in New York City</strong> you won&#8217;t want to miss!</p>
<p><img data-attachment-id="34426" data-permalink="https://allthingschic.net/2017/03/free-or-cheap-activities-for-kids-in-new-york-city.html/nyc-2" data-orig-file="https://allthingschic.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/NYC-2.png" data-orig-size="700,1000" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="NYC-2" data-image-description="" data-medium-file="https://allthingschic.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/NYC-2-245x350.png" data-large-file="https://allthingschic.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/NYC-2-350x500.png" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-34426" src="https://allthingschic.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/NYC-2.png" alt="" width="700" height="1000" srcset="https://allthingschic.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/NYC-2.png 700w, https://allthingschic.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/NYC-2-245x350.png 245w, https://allthingschic.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/NYC-2-350x500.png 350w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>
<p><strong>Create and Appreciate Art</strong></p>
<p>The <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.moma.org/" target="_blank">Museum of Modern Art</a> in midtown Manhattan and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://momaps1.org/calendar" target="_blank">MoMA PS1</a> (in Queens) both offer free admission for children 16 and under. On Friday nights, admission is free at the Manhattan location, and if you&#8217;re an NYC resident, there is no cost for admittance to the Queens location, regardless of your age. Teach your children to appreciate the multitude of more than 200,000 works of modern and contemporary art. Family events, such as weekend <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.moma.org/calendar/events/2756" target="_blank">family activity stations</a>, give your family a chance to experience engaging activities in front of select works of art. Free tours for four-year-olds (and up to two adults and two additional children) introduce toddlers to modern art in a safe, comfortable way involving movement, drawing, and other gallery activities. MoMA gives NYC residents and visitors an easy, affordable way to learn about and create art in the Big Apple!</p>
<p><strong>Visit the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bronxzoo.com" target="_blank">Bronx Zoo</a></strong></p>
<p>Seeing one of the top zoos in the country can be expensive with a family, so take your kids on a Wednesday where admission to the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bronxzoo.com" target="_blank">Bronx Zoo</a> is the cost of a pay-what-you-wish donation. (Children 2 and under are always free.) Experience penguin and sea lion feedings and see 265 acres filled with wildlife habitats and zoo attractions. Make your way to the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bronxzoo.com/exhibits/congo-gorilla-forest" target="_blank">Congo Gorilla Forest</a> featuring the Western Lowland Gorilla, Mandrill, and Okapi in an indoor and outdoor facility where gorillas interact and live. Check out the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bronxzoo.com/exhibits/childrens-zoo" target="_blank">Children&#8217;s Zoo</a> (closed during Winter months) where young and old can pet goats, sheep, or donkeys. Exhibits and activities for children along with affordable admission days make the Bronx Zoo the perfect NYC destination for kids!</p>
<p><strong>Explore a Firehouse</strong></p>
<p>The <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.fdnysmart.org" target="_blank">City of New York Fire Department</a> (FDNY) offers <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.fdnysmart.org/firezone/" target="_blank">Fire Zone</a>, state-of-the-art fire-safety learning center at Rockefeller Center. Kids can climb a fire truck, try on firefighter gear, and even experience a simulated fire scene. Meeting a firefighter may be the highlight of the trip for many youngsters! General admission is free, but families can also experience a fire safety presentation, complete with simulation and materials to make a plan for safety in your own home. Cost for the presentation is $6.00 for adults and children and $2.00 for seniors. The presentation is recommended for children ages 5 and up.</p>
<p><strong>Take a Ferry Ride</strong></p>
<p>Take a free ride on the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.siferry.com/" target="_blank">Staten Island Ferry</a> for a premium view of the Manhattan skyline and some excellent photo opps for the kids. See the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the Brooklyn Bridge from your free seat on the ferry. You must get off the boat before heading back to Lower Manhattan, but Staten Island has a lot to offer for kids as well! The <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.statenislandmuseum.org/" target="_blank">Staten Island Museum</a> has free admission on Sneak Peek Tuesdays from 12-2 p.m. Children 12 and under are just $2 at other times. Enjoy museum exhibits of art and sports, and hands-on events for all ages (additional fees may apply). Next, visit the grounds of the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.visitstatenisland.com/attractions/snug-harbor-cultural-center-and-botanical-garden/" target="_blank">Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Gardens</a>. Visit an art museum, multiple gardens, the Visitor&#8217;s Center, the Neptune Fountain, and a beautiful amphitheater which hosts a variety of events. Grounds&#8217; admission is free, and children 12 and under are admitted at no cost to the various centers and gardens. If your goal is just to get the view and ride the ferry, you can hop back on after deboarding, but Staten Island is also a treat to tour for many kids and adults alike!</p>
<p>With everything to do in NYC, it&#8217;s easy to start ranking up the costs. However, these free or cheap activities for kids in New York City will take it easy on your pocketbook while still getting the approval from your kiddos for prime time fun!</p>

<p><strong>Take a Tour</strong></p>
<p>Get an education about the city while having a lot of fun. Although there are bus, helicopter, and even walking tours that can eat into your budget, New York Tours offer <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.freetoursbyfoot.com/new-york-tours/" target="_blank">Pay-What-You-Wish Walking Tours</a>! Free Tours by Foot offers more than 35 tours in NYC, and you only pay for your own admissions or refreshments (with food tours, for example), but the guides will give you an experience you&#8217;ll never forget. Learn about the history of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.freetoursbyfoot.com/new-york-tours/walking-tours/harlem/" target="_blank">Harlem&#8217;s</a> music, food, architecture, and people. On this tour you&#8217;ll visit the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.freetoursbyfoot.com/tour-the-apollo-theater-in-harlem/" target="_blank">Apollo Theater</a> and have a chance to try some <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.freetoursbyfoot.com/sylvias-restaurant-in-harlem/" target="_blank">soul food</a>! Hit Midtown Manhattan and tour <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.freetoursbyfoot.com/things-to-do-in-times-square/" target="_blank">Times Square</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.freetoursbyfoot.com/new-york-tours/walking-tours/rockefeller-center/" target="_blank">Rockefeller Center</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.freetoursbyfoot.com/st-patricks-cathedral-tours/" target="_blank">Saint Patrick&#8217;s Cathedral</a>, and more! With any of the tours, tipping is encouraged. Pay what you think it was worth, and leave happy and delighted!</p>
<p><strong>Check Groupon</strong></p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.groupon.com/visitor_referral/h/3479cd42-d2d5-487d-a556-2d325e9b9291">Groupon</a> not only often has killer hotel deals &#8211; sometimes hotels in Manhattan for as little as $100/night &#8211; but it also has tickets for bus and boat tours, museums, broadway shows and more! Start checking a month or two before you plan to be in NYC and start scoring deals!</p>
<p><strong>Buy a New York Pass</strong></p>
<p>If you want to make the most of your trip, the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.newyorkpass.com/En/what-you-get/" target="_blank">New York Pass</a> gives you access to more than 90 attractions for one low price! The cost depends on the length of the pass (one to 10 days from $109-$329 when you buy online and save). All the attractions are a value of more than $2000. Even if you just get to several, you&#8217;ll save money visiting places like the Empire State Building, Carnegie Hall, the Statue of Liberty, Lincoln Center, and more! The Pass also includes Big Bus Hop-on Hop-off Tours and Hop-on Hop-off water taxis. You can visit attractions multiple times during the length of your pass. It&#8217;s worth every penny and will help you budget and save on your trip to NYC!</p>

<p><strong>Ride the Subway</strong></p>
<p>Instead of shelling out big bucks for a cab, take a <a href="http://web.mta.info/nyct/fare/FaresatAGlance.htm" target="_blank" class="broken_link" rel="nofollow">subway ride</a> for $2.75 or buy an extended 7-day (or longer) pass to save a lot of money. Check out a map, and ask questions at your hotel or before you travel. Riding the train isn&#8217;t scary if you have a plan, and it&#8217;s really easy to get almost anywhere in New York without spending tons of money on cab fare and tips!</p>
<p><strong>Check out an Off-Broadway Show</strong></p>
<p>New York City is a theater-goers dream, but Broadway shows can be quite expensive. Check out an off-Broadway production like <a href="http://avenueq.com/" target="_blank" class="broken_link" rel="nofollow">Avenue Q</a>, a sensational long-running puppet show for adults and winner of the 2004 Tony® “Triple Crown” for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book. Get dancing with <a rel="nofollow" href="http://stomponline.com/tickets_nyc.html" target="_blank">Stomp</a> where you&#8217;ll see everyday objects integrated into a dancing, theater, and musical performance that will have you tapping your feet. Off-Broadway shows are full of talent and flair, especially when the Broadway tickets cost hundreds and are hard to snag!</p>
<p>New York City can be an expensive destination, but you can save a lot of money if you know these helpful tips. Whether you are heading to the Big Apple with your family, taking a trip with your sweetheart, or flying solo, New York is the place to be when you have these out-of-this-world <strong>money-saving tips for visiting NYC</strong>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We couldn&#8217;t visit South Flordia without stopping into <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nps.gov/ever">Everglades National Park</a>. It spans 1.5 million acres and is full of watery grasslands and tons of wildlife. We visited in April and it was perfect &#8211; not too hot and humid yet and a little cloudy to make hiking more comfortable. The kids really enjoyed it. We certainly don&#8217;t see wildlife like THIS is Rhode Island!</p>

<p>A few tips to make the most of Everglades National Park with the kids:</p>
<p>1. Walk the Anhinga Trail: If you can only do one thing, hike the mile-long Anghinga Trail. If you want to see gators in the wild (Of course you do. You&#8217;re in the Everglades.), the Anhinga Trail is your best bet. Keep your eyes peeled as you walk along the boardwalks for alligators, turtles, herons, vultures, egrets, anhingas (the trail&#8217;s namesake bird) and fish. (Stroller friendly)</p>

<p>2. Take the trolley into the park: If you’re entering Everglades National Park from the south in Homestead, consider a day trip aboard the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.cityofhomestead.com/index.aspx?nid=357">Homestead National Parks Trolley</a>. The free guided trolley ride is offered on the weekends and includes a park ranger is on board to guide you as you ride into the park. This is a terrific option when you only have one day to see as much as possible &#8211; without having to drive and miss all the scenery!</p>
<p>3. Prepare for the weather: Even off-season, it can get buggy. Make sure you come prepared with bug spray, plenty of water and sun protection. Comfy shoes are a good idea too &#8211; there are great, easy trails that can introduce your kids to hiking.</p>
