5.0 out of 5 stars Breezy, Practical, August 19, 2008

This review is from: Santa Fe With Kids From A To Z (Paperback)

Both this guide and "Children's Guide to Santa Fe" provide basic information about the usual activities and attractions popular with children in Santa Fe: the Children's Museum, Palace of the Governors, the Plaza, and lots of others. Both are great guidebooks written for parents to help them select places to visit and activities to include when they take their children to Santa Fe.

This guide is more informal than the other--breezy even--and its information seems more personalized, yet practical. It focuses more on outdoor activities, but also includes useful descriptions of child-friendly (yet interesting) restaurants. It is shorter and a little cheaper than the other.

You will likely be happy with either guidebook to help you select activities for your children to enjoy in the wonderful place that is Santa Fe.

Of course, if you are looking for a guide that is written for children rather than for parents--one that can be your child's own--I recommend I See Santa Fe!: A Children's Guide and Coloring Book
