We got this video to show our 5 and 8 year olds what to expect in Costa Rica. The video did a great job at getting the kids (and us) excited. I just wish it would have covered more areas as we are still trying to decide what places to visit when we go.

Part of the award-winning "Travel With Kids" series, Travel With Kids: Costa Rica invites the viewer to experience eco-travel and adventure in a nation famous for its beautiful cloud forest preserves, vast volcanic formations, beaches, and family-friendly activities. Following the Roberts' family's adventures along with solid travel advice for parents and children alike, Travel With Kids: Costa Rica is an excellent supplement to preparing for a Costa Rican vacation. Bonus features include a trip planner with expanded information on activities, accommodation, and transportation; family travel tips and resources; a "Costa Rica at Home" section offering language and craft activities as well as recipes; and a bloopers reel. Highly recommended. 57 minutes.

I've been to Costa Rica 3 times. All 3 times without my son in tow. Last time, I went on an 'eco' adventure tour to the town of La Fortuna and liked the town so much, I started to seriously consider bringing my 4 1/2 year old back to visit and wondered if he was too young to participate in the tours.
Just by fortuituous timing, a friend gives me the Travel with Kids Costa Rica DVD and behold, all my questions concerning travelling with a young child in Costa Rica was answered.
My son and I watched the Roberts Family do zip lining, white water rafting, feed animals, visit a live volcano . . . the vacation filmed by Jeremy and Carrie looked so good and Seamus and Nathan looked like they were having so much fun that I decided when I take my own son to Costa Rica, I would follow their exact itineary!
This is one of the best things about watching the Travel with Kids DVD series~ another family have already done it and have done your planning for you!
Of course, I know every trip is not exactly the same and I'll have my own little adventures with my family when we go~ it's nice to have a reference for what to expect!
Thanks Roberts family!!
