What You Really Need to Know Before Visiting Chichén Itzá (from a Canadian Mom Who Just Went With Her Kids)

If you’re heading to Mexico from Canada and thinking about visiting Chichén Itzá,  do it! We were there for the first time this past March, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. We went with our two kids (ages 11 and 14), and even though I wasn’t totally sure how they’d feel about it, they both really enjoyed it, especially my 14-year-old, who’s obsessed with history. He was fully geeking out the whole time, and I was here for it.

Let me share what we learned (and what I wish I’d known earlier) to help make your trip to Chichén Itzá smoother and more fun.
