#1 Marigalante Pirate Ship Adventure

For starters, no visit to Puerto Vallarta is complete without attending a Marigalante pirate ship tour. The Marigalante is a Puerto Vallarta top tour that the whole family will love. The authentic 17th century replica galleon is the perfect setting for a truly unique tour experience. Guests will be treated to world class entertainment, impressive pirate acrobatics, live music, and dancing. In addition, a delicious gourmet meal and premium open bar is available. If you’re traveling with children, the day tour is better-suited for families. The day tour includes a stop at Majahuitas Island, face painting, and a treasure hunt. Space is limited, so book your tickets in advance because the Marigalante tour sells out quickly.

#2 Spend a Day at Los Muertos Beach

Secondly, a free and kid-friendly thing to do in Puerto Vallarta is spending a day at Los Muertos Beach. Also known as Playa Los Muertos, Los Muertos Beach is the town’s popular beach. There are tons of beachfront restaurants with lounge chairs and umbrellas, and the iconic Puerto Vallarta Pier is there as well. Los Muertos beach is ideal for swimming, riding a banana boat, building sandcastles, and more. Plus, if you want to try parasailing or jet skiing, there are tour operators on the beach offering these activities in Puerto Vallarta, too.

#3 Learn How to Make Chocolate at ChocoMuseo

The ChocoMuseo is a newer family-friendly Puerto Vallarta activity to check out. Also known as the Chocolate Museum, the museum is the perfect spot to escape the hot PV sun for a few hours and have some fun, too. ChocoMuseo offers workshops on how to make chocolate especially designed for children. The friendly instructors will explain the chocolate-making process and kids will get to make their very own chocolate. Make sure to visit the cafe on the top floor of the museum. There, they also have a shop that sells a nice wide variety of handmade chocolate products to take home as souvenirs, too.

#4 Jungle ZipLine Tour

Next, the Nogalito Ecopark and Los Veranos Canopy Tour is a great way to spend the day if your family likes adventure. Located in the lush Sierra Madre Jungle south of downtown Puerto Vallarta, families can try a zipline tour. Many vacationers find they really enjoy getting amongst nature in the tropical greenery at the park. While the Los Veranos Canopy Tour recreation area is open for all ages, it is best suited for older children. In order to zipline, children must be at least five years old.

#5 Walk The PV Malecon/Boardwalk

Last but not least, the iconic Puerto Vallarta Malecon is a mile long boardwalk where local vendors sell art, handmade handicrafts, souvenirs, and more. Make sure to stop and watch a show of the Papantla Flying Men. The Papantla is a colorful dance and musical performance that reenacts a prehispanic dance to the gods. Also, the Malecon is lined with tons of great cafes, excellent restaurants, bars, and more. It’s the perfect spot for people watching and enjoying amazing views of Banderas Bay, too.
