Lebanon is a family-oriented country, and parents with kids will find a warm, welcoming, and safe environment for a family vacation. The small size of the country, its emphasis on family life, and its open, friendly culture make Lebanon an excellent destination for exploring educational, cultural, and recreational activities with children.
The mild, Mediterranean climate allows for year-round outdoor activities. In the summer and holiday seasons, villages throughout the country put on festivals with family-oriented activities and events to entertain children. Families will enjoy sun, sand, and swimming at the
seaside beaches. Children won’t want to miss the many water parks that offer thrilling rides in a clean and safe atmosphere.

During warm summer evenings, Beirut’s downtown cafés in the beautifully restored Central District
(“Solidère”) fill up with families as their children play and ride bicycles nearby in the Place d’Etoile. People of all ages stroll, jog, bicycle, and roller blade on the Corniche, a long promenade along the Mediterranean coast in downtown Beirut.

In the wintertime, skiing is a popular activity for the whole family. Ski schools and other activities are available at Lebanon’s six ski resorts for people of all ages. Snowboarding, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing are increasingly popular activities for young people in Lebanon.

Year-round cultural, historical, and natural attractions abound in Lebanon, providing an enriching educational experience for families. Parents and kids, alike, will enjoy
bird or turtle watching at one of the country’s numerous
nature parks and reserves, camping in the mountains, or looking for unique plants and animals during a scenic
hike. Museums and exhibits – such as the
Planet Discovery Children’s Science Museum in
Beirut, the Marie Baz Wax Museum in Deir
El Qamar, or Animal Encounter in Aley – are an entertaining and educational way to spend an afternoon. Older children and teenagers will appreciate the grandeur of the country’s
Roman and Phoenician ruins, and a visit to these ancient monuments may spark new interest in history.
No matter where your family goes in Lebanon, from the bustling city of Beirut to a small village to a remote nature park, you’ll find fun children’s activities close at hand.
