Weekend trip with children: 3 days at the IKUNA Nature Resort (a family's experience report)

The Easter holidays are over – and yet I still think back to those three days. We were traveling as a family: my husband, our two children (8 and 5 years old) and I – on a weekend trip with children to the IKUNA Nature Resort. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations. I just wanted to get out, breathe some fresh air, and have a bit of a change of scenery. What we received was significantly more.

Our experience: Finally, real family time again!

What I had feared beforehand was that the children would immediately set off and we adults would just follow behind. What actually happened: We were traveling together the whole time.

We walked through the grounds, climbed, have discovered animals and laughed together. Of course, the children sometimes ran ahead. 😄 But always in a way that ensured we were traveling as a family. That's exactly what makes a successful weekend trip for me as a family.

Weekend getaways with children – even in bad weather

We had everything: sun, wind, rain – typical April weather. And this is exactly where it becomes clear whether a travel destination is truly good. At IKUNA, the weather suddenly didn't matter. We spontaneously went out for a walk. Sometimes wearing a jacket, Sometimes without stress, and always without stress.

The kids? They didn't care about the weather anyway. 😄 Besides, IKUNA always offers the option of using the indoor area. That's one of the biggest advantages for me when planning a weekend trip with children.

Indoor area & children's program: The perfect plan B

It's invaluable to know: You can go in anytime. The indoor area was our "Plan B" – which we then surprisingly enjoyed using.

We especially enjoyed the organized children's program:

• 🎪 Circus performances
• 🎬 Movie night with popcorn
• 🎨 Face painting
• ✂️ Craft activities

This is more than just "letting them play". These are real experiences.
