AboutBeatrice Blake Expertise I can recommend the best places to visit with children in Costa Rica, based on their ages and the family`s interests and budget. My two children were born in Costa Rica and I have traveled with them all over the country while doing research for my guidebook, The New Key to Costa Rica. I also help people (with or without children) pick the best and most responsible ecotourism destinations and can advise them on the best ways to get around within the time they have.

Question We are taking a 4, 6 and two 8 year olds to Costa Rica. Is there any place they can safely ride on a zipline?
Answer Dear Amy,
Most canopy tours have weight minimums and maximums. I believe that most canopy tours do not take kids under 7. But at the Canopy Safari near Manuel Antonio, I have heard that they take kids as young as three. The little kids go with their own guide. You can usually find out age and weight guidelines from the canopy tour websites.
