Cabo for Families All the Fun You Can Have
Now that it’s time to start planning this year’s Spring Break holiday, you may enjoy this glimpse into Los Cabos’ family-friendly activities – a side of our destination you probably didn’t even know about. In addition to great water and land activities, such as swimming with dolphins, snorkeling, whale watching, or horseback riding, you will also find a variety of fun cultural activities for the entire family. Take your family on a fun and culturally enriching day trip to the historic town of Candelaria or the art colony of Todos Santos. Mingle with the locals at one of the community events to experience Cabo from a different perspective. Check out our calendar of events on page 10.
Museums
Performing Arts While the impressive project for a cultural pavilion at the Cabo San Lucas Marina is still on the drawing board, there are other great venues hosting ongoing cultural events. The City Theater in San Jose del Cabo regularly presents dance performances, concerts, movie screenings for children and even Broadway shows! Casa de la Cultura (Cultural Center) in downtown San Jose also offers a busy performance schedule featuring local, national and international artists. There, you can attend a flamenco show, an original play or an evening of poetry. Admission for most events is free.
The Museum of Natural History in Cabo San Lucas located on the Amelia Wilkes Plaza is yet another fascinating place sometimes overlooked by locals and tourists. The museum is open during the week from 10 AM to 7 PM, Saturdays from 10 AM to 2 PM and Sundays only in the afternoon. Admission is free. Just recently a new non-profit organization established the Cabo Kidz Museo, whose goals are to plan, design, construct and operate an interactive bilingual children’s museum in Los Cabos. During the planning and construction phases, Cabo Kidz Museo is offering bilingual workshops, trips and events that are fun, educational and stimulating.
