Hotel Xcaret is letting children and teens stay free through Labor Day, and it isn't the only family deal worth grabbing this week. The Xcaret resort group has stacked multiple offers across its parks and accommodations, while a handful of guided experiences and travel-gear discounts round out the savings.
Mexican theme parks and resorts
Hotel Xcaret's kids-free promotion runs through September 1, which clears one of the biggest line items from a family trip to Mexico's Caribbean coast. That overlaps with two shorter park-specific offers: 20% off Xenses through July 1, and 25% off kids' admission to all Xcaret parks through January 2027. If you're planning a multi-park trip, book Xenses before the end of June to layer both discounts.
Guided experiences and tours
Viator has cut prices on family walking adventures in Europe and activity-focused tours in North and Central America. Dublin's Kids Quest and Paris's Kids Quest are each down to $9 from $11, turning them into low-friction add-ons to a city trip if your kids are old enough to handle self-guided puzzle hunts. For hands-on experiences, a traditional cooking class in Cozumel costs $80 instead of $89, and a half-day rafting trip in Durango is $89 down from $99. A 2-day nature and garden stay in the Mekong region is $59 instead of $63.
Gear and logistics
Traverseon's camping gear is 10% off through January 2027. If a road trip or camping week is on your summer plan, stock up on tents, sleeping bags, and cooking equipment while the discount holds.
