If you live in Ghana or you are travelling into Ghana with family it sometimes can be hard to find activities to do dependent on the age of the children, but one thing is universal the older kids want more than the beach!

Is Ghana family friendly for holidays?

Yes, Ghana is the most family friendly place you can ever visit. Family is the centre of Ghanaian culture and you will notice if you are living in Ghana or visiting that every venue and place will go out of their way to make sure that children are always catered for. The majority of restaurants will have kids menus or high chairs if you have young ones with very supportive staff. The only down side when travelling with tweens (kids aged from 13 to 15) and if you want inter connecting rooms is that some places may only be able to offer rooms next to each other. But its best to ask to see what the venue can do.

What is there to do in Ghana with children?

There are so many things to do with children in Ghana dependent on their age and where you are located. Also keep in mind the heat of Ghana and with many of the main historical and tourist sites being outside. So visiting cultural and historical sights even though they are interesting can be a little bit much for young children. Dependent on the age of the children below are 10 things to do in Ghana with kids and family
  1. Go Karting
  2. Water Parks
  3. Indoor soft Play
  4. Indoor Arcades and Amusements
  5. Paint Balling
  6. Swimming at leisure centres
  7. Mini Golf
  8. 5D Cinema Experiences
  9. Cinema
  10. Kids Theatre
We would recommend the following things to do with kids in Ghana based on their ages
