Atlantis Bahamas Vacation

Atlantis Bahamas family resort is located on Paradise Island. You reach the resort by flying into Nassau and then arranging ground service to the hotel. A bonus tip for saving you money on your Atlantis with kids vacation, is to ask your taxi to stop by a grocery store on the way to the hotel. Picking up just a few snacks, water bottler, or stuff to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches will save you money at the resort. The food prices are very expensive around Atlantis and kids definitely get hungry when playing and swimming all day.

Animal Feeding Things to Do In Atlantis

There are many animal encounters that you can pay for during your trip to Atlantis. Some of these include feeding the animals yourself (at an added cost). However, if you are looking for free things to do in Atlantis then a fun way to experience this activity is to watch the animals during their regular feeding times. You can accomplish this activity by checking your Daily Atlantean to find the animal feeding schedule. While you won’t be able to feed them yourselves, you can watch these animals get super excited to chomp down on their food. My boys love the excitement of the sharks getting fed and they were super happy someone else was feeding them.

Poolside Games When Visiting Atlantis Bahamas

While you are checking your Daily Atlantean for the animal feeding times, make sure to note the free poolside family games that will take place around the different pool decks. Your kids are sure to love the action and fun that will come with popping balloons, playing bingo, singing karaoke, hula hooping, and so much more. With all of the available pool game options each day, there is surely something that you will find to do during your visit to Atlantis Bahamas pools.

Atlantis Kids Scavenger Hunt

Atlantis is a massive resort. To make the most out of your trip, it is recommended that you get familiar with the areas early on your family vacation. A fun way to do this with your kids is to go on a scavenger hunt through the resort. Make one of your first stops at the Kids Concierge in Royal Tower and pick up the Atlantis Scavenger Hunt and map. As you familiarize yourself with the resort in this fun way, you will get numerous pictures, keep the kids entertained, find the famous Heart Swing, and once you’ve discovered everything there is a prize for your kids at the end.

Atlantis Bahamas Secrets “Bucket List”

Remember that map that you picked up for your Atlantis kids scavenge hunt? Well, found on that property map is another fun activity, The Atlantis “Bucket List”. I recommend doing this activity on different day or at least at a different time than the scavenger hunt. This makes for another free fun family activity at Atlantis, Bahamas. The ‘bucket list” will take you to different areas of the resort, things like the bottom of the Abyss slide or Power Tower Cenote (underground river). Make this into another fun thing to do in Atlantis with kids and you’ll have hours of fun family no-cost activities during your vacation.

Play At The Beach When Visiting Atlantis Bahamas

You have traveled all the way to the Bahamas, definitely don’t miss visiting the 4 different beach areas that are available to you and your kids for enjoyment. The water is clear blue and sand is sparkly white. The minimal waves and warm sand are great for even the youngest kids in your group. Take a few cups outside and build a sandcastle or splash in warm water along the edge for hours of entertainment. Make sure to check out our baby/toddler beach essentials guide to ensure you pack everything your little one might need.

There are 13 Atlantis pools so you are sure to find one that you and your kids love. Each pool is distinctly different and of the 13 there are 3 dedicated kids pools. All of the pools are included in the price of your stay and you can definitely visit different ones over multiple days to extend your list of activities for kids for free. Pro Tip: Go out first thing in the morning and reserve your pool chairs. Even if you won’t be going to the pool for a few hours. Several favorite pool areas will fill up quickly in the morning. If you do miss going out first thing in the morning, there is staff on the pool decks that will try to assist you in finding a place for your family.

This activity is all about finding the multiple Atlantis for kids free games located around the resort. Some of the free games that you should be able to find are giant shuffleboard sets, pin pong, volleyball, croquet, and kids golf.
