The key for parents to get an actual vacation out of their vacation" A killer kids’ club, where you can drop the kiddies off and make like their chilled-out pre-kid selves for a few hours.

So which kids? clubs go above and beyond" We rounded up six cool and unusual kids? clubs in the US, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.

1. Club Med Ixtapa

Kids who dream of joining the circus actually can?for a day at least?at this all-inclusive on the west coast of Mexico. For kids 4 and up, a day at Mini Club Med includes flying high on a trapeze (if climbing up to the platform is too scary, it?s fine to just watch too), juggling and jumping on a trampoline. The well-trained circus instructors also show up as performers in the nighttime show, which makes for an audience of starry-eyes kids. Adults can take a turn too with daily late afternoon lessons. Other kid perks at Ixtapa: Archery, tennis, basketball, cooking classes, kiddie pools and all-you-can-drink kiddie mocktails, as well as a nearby excursion to hatch baby turtles (for an extra fee). Time your visit to include a Tuesday, when local artisans set up shop on the resort. Circus school is also offered at other Club Med locations including Sandpiper Bay and Turks & Caicos.
