How Can Toddlers Enjoy Famous Sights?
A throwback to Shriya’s first birthday.
We spent time in Barcelona with the Amruthur family and of course, the Natarajan parents! Family is awesome and it’s a blessing to travel together for birthdays.
Question: Can toddlers/kids enjoy “famous sights” such as monuments, places of worship, and museums?
Lakshmi’s Learning: Yes, they can! We found that monuments (e.g. structures like the Colosseum in Rome) and places of worship (churches, temples, mosques) are a hit.
From their perspective, these places are open areas to walk around versus paying attention to a tour. Trying to formally tour a museum (e.g. Louvre in Paris) requires more of an attention span. It’s definitely doable, but will feel rushed!
And when none of this works, I am sure the kids will find pigeons to chase and be very happy!
What are your favorite travel experiences with your family?

As a mother of two toddler daughters, I want to teach and show them the beauty of the world and all its people. We frequently traveled around the US to visit our families. In my eyes, if I can easily manage a 3 hour plane journey, how hard is a 24 hour plane journey? Well, I learned that while there are differences, I can do it. As a family, we have now traveled to 30 countries across 6 continents (7th and last hopefully coming soon). The most important role I play is raising global citizens - supporting my children to be confident in who they are, excited to learn about others, and respect all the people around them.
