Looking around the net at activities for youngsters on Aruba I see many links to 'kids' clubs'. That is a nice idea for parents who want some free time to relax and know their children are being entertained. Has anyone tried them?
I try to keep my children close to me when I go to Aruba. There are things for them to do, but I try not to put them in the care of strangers when I'm not nearby.
I think as long as you do a cursory vetting and get an impression and leave them with a reputable group whose livelihood depends on tourist dollars, all will be well.
I can understand the possible concerns. The clubs I was looking at are linked to resorts, with trained staff and full supervision. I probably won't be staying at such a place but it would be convenient if they took day visitors.
