1. Sochi and balloon races
Nearest inexpensive resort for children's holidays - Black Sea coast Russia. Of course, at the end of March and April the sea is still cold here. But the air is warmed up to 15 degrees, so walking along the shore is very comfortable.
There is still snow in the mountains and you can take a breeze on the slopes of Krasnaya Polyana on skis or try zorbing - an extreme descent from a mountain inside a large transparent inflatable ball. If climbing inside the ball is still a little scary, but you want a thrill, go to the Laura ski and biathlon complex: there you can try snow tubing - riding on large uncontrollable cheesecakes.
And if the children get bored with winter fun, you can always go down from the mountains to Sochi Disneyland - Sochi Park. The territory of the entertainment complex is divided into 5 thematic lands - “Avenue of Lights”, “Land of Heroes”, “Land of Science and Fantasy”, “Enchanted Forest” and “Eco-Village” - and offers young guests activities for every taste - from extreme slides to scientific experiments; from laser shows to theatrical fairy tales. You can also swim in March, although not in the sea, but in the Aqualoo indoor water park. Children will definitely be delighted with the variety of slides ranging from 50 to 120 meters in height.

2. Italy and doll houses
On Italian resorts at the end of March and beginning of April it is a little warmer than in Sochi - up to +15, and the water is +10. It seems that Italy, with its ancient architecture and flowering vineyards, is more suitable for an adults-only vacation, but don’t rush to conclusions: in the land of pasta and mozzarella, there are no less activities for children than for adults.
Not far from the resort of Milano Marittima and Ravenna there is the Mirabilandia park - the third largest amusement park in Europe. On an area of 200 thousand square meters there are more than 40 attractions - there will be something to do for both the little fairy and the young cowboy. Girls can start with the 130-metre-high Ferris wheel, while boys are sent straight to the iSpeed slide, where in cockpits stylized as Formula 1 cars they will accelerate to 100 km/h in just 2.2 seconds.
If you want to instill in your children a love of nature, go to the “House of Butterflies” (La Casa delle Farfalle), where in a pavilion with a microclimate, colorful wings from all over the world flutter and several interesting rarities are collected - poisonous frogs, insect-hunting fish and carnivorous plants.
If you want to show your children all of Italy, but don’t want to turn your week-long vacation into a race for survival on trains, choose Rimini. There is the “Italy in Miniature” park, where 270 miniature Italian landmarks are presented. At one time you will see the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and St. Peter's Cathedral!

3. Türkiye and living dinosaurs
At the end of March, the sea in Turkish resorts is still not warm enough for swimming, just above 10 degrees. But excellent club hotels are ridiculously cheap, and the animation remains one of the best in the world: both adults and children will be happy.
Spring in Turkey is the ideal time for excursions. Teenagers will enjoy a jeep ride along dizzying mountain serpentines. Younger schoolchildren will be enchanted by the Dinopark near Kemer - the largest attraction in Europe with working dinosaur models. The animals here are very life-like - they move and growl to the delight of little visitors.
If you have chosen Bodrum as your holiday base, be sure to go to the Museum of Underwater Archeology, which houses a unique collection of shipwrecks from the Bronze Age to the present day. While adults look at ancient amphorae and sarcophagi, children will be able to feel like captains of ancient ships and walk through life-size models of the ship.
For those who stay on the coast of Alanya, the main point entertainment program should become the Damlatas Cave. Its name translated from Turkish means “stone in drops.” You will immediately understand why: the fantastic formations of multi-colored stalactites and stalagmites about 14–15 thousand years old will make not only young travelers, but also their experienced parents hold their breath.
Select convenient dates in the field below, indicate how many of you there are and from which city you want to fly - we will immediately select the best tours to Turkey.
4. UAE and Ferrari racing
In this Middle Eastern country, summer is all year round, but late March and early April are the best times to travel. The sun heats up to only +28 and the water is Persian Gulf at about the same temperature - you won’t want to get out of the sea.
However, you definitely won’t have to relax on the beach forever - there is too much entertainment around. For example, thematic Ferrari park World in Abu Dhabi is a Disneyland for fans of speed. It is home to the world's fastest roller coaster, Formula 1 computer simulators and an exhibition of Ferrari cars.
If the kids get tired of splashing around in the pool, you can go to the Dubai ski resort. Yes, yes, you heard right, they also go skiing in the desert. Even when the outside temperature exceeds +40°C, there is snow on the slopes of Ski Dubai. The temperature on the indoor slope does not rise above -3°C, so you can’t go out on the slope without a warm ski suit - you’ll freeze. In addition to the usual skis and boards, children will enjoy sleds, cheesecakes and other winter attractions.
For maximum contrast, the next day you can go on an excursion into the desert. Local companies offer a variety of options: from walking through the dunes on camels or horses to overnight camping under the stars. Children will love this adventure!
Select convenient dates in the field below, indicate how many of you there are and from which city you want to fly - we will immediately select the best tours to the UAE.
5. Thailand and crocodiles
The only drawback of Thai resorts is the long flight. But here you can swim at any time of the year - even in early April the air warms up to 30 degrees and the water to almost the same temperature.
For curious fidgets, Thailand has a lot of entertainment: elephant rides, culinary performances, colorful fire shows. If you come on holiday to Krabi, go on an excursion to the Aqua Center or just the aquarium (as tourists call it). Here they study tropical animals and fish. You can see huge stingrays, predatory sharks, ball fish, lionfish, butterfly fish, seahorses, damselfish fish, perches and rare species corals Just keep in mind that often the most beautiful of the local inhabitants are deadly poisonous, so you shouldn’t touch them.
If you are on holiday in Koh Samui, you can go to crocodile farm Samui Crocodile Farm. Tourists come here primarily for the show with crocodiles and snakes, but it makes sense to calmly wander around the territory and follow the entire process of raising and caring for crocodiles. Children will love the enclosures with small crocodiles and the incubators where eggs are stored until the babies hatch.
