Things to Do around the Grand Canyon with Kids

Kristy Pepping said:  If you are planning a grand canyon vacation for family and little kids, or you simply wish to stay very close to the Grand Canyon, check into the 250-room Maswik Lodge. Why? It's right on site so it's super easy to sleep in and have a short quarter mile walk to the Canyon. There are many in-house dining options to enjoy there, too! Simply request a roller bed to create more sleeping options.

This is a Western-themed bed and breakfast that provides six oversized cabins, so it's perfect for larger families. They can also help you book several Grand Canyon adventures, including a ride on the steam train into the Canyon. Kids will love the cowboy breakfast each morning, and closing out each evening with a campfire.

You will pass through forests and mountains as you meander the pleasant drive. Once in Sedona, famous for red rock and a rejuvenating ambiance, this town also offers shopping, plenty of places for lunch and spectacular views.

Kristy Pepping said:  I highly recommend this hotel as an option for staying in the Grand Canyon with kids. It is about an hour south of the Grand Canyon, but we found it less expensive and better room arrangements for larger families. Plus, they have two on-site restaurants, a pool and workout room. The other nice feature is you can pay for a train ride to and/or from the Grand Canyon. It is located on the hotel property and pulls right into the Grand Canyon.
