Kid-friendly places in Maui

Suites with full kitchens and a washer and dryer, next to a pool complex with slides.

A wooden play structure with covered pavilions nearby, so you can sit in the shade while kids climb.

Roomy suites, a waterslide joining two pools and a shallow keiki pool for the smallest swimmers.

A playground and swings beside the beach, with broad lawns for spreading out a picnic.

A waterfall pool built just for younger swimmers, plus an activity program to sign kids up for.

A lazy river, waterslides and waterfalls, plus a sand-bottom baby beach so the smallest kids have their own shallow spot.

A 270-foot waterslide for the brave ones and a splash zone with a mini slide for the smaller kids.

A reef just offshore breaks the waves, leaving a shallow pool to wade in. No lifeguard or restrooms here, so lean on the bigger beach park next door.

A play zone for kids right beside the tables, so they can play while you finish eating.

Ice cream made from coconut in tropical flavors, at a quirky roadside stop along the highway.

Ducks, colorful garden paths and waterfall viewpoints, so it makes a leg stretch on the long highway drive.

Interactive marine wildlife exhibits and a play zone, plus art activities made from recycled plastic.

Pancakes shaped like whales and big breakfast plates, so the early risers have somewhere to go.

Koi ponds, waterfalls and unusual plants along winding paths, so there's something to stop at every few minutes.

A kids' garden and farm animals next to the farm stand, so kids get a wander while you pick up produce.

Sea turtles, sharks and living coral reefs, plus a 3D humpback whale experience, so kids see the ocean without getting wet.

You make your own pancakes on a griddle built into the table, toppings and all. The griddles are hot, so keep small hands back.

Finely shaved ice with fruit syrups, and ice cream added in if kids want it.
