When you're a parent traveling with kids and your connecting plane has been delayed and you have already been traveling for some 12 hours, I can't tell you how wonderful it is to stumble upon an airport play area. It's like finding a pool of water in the middle of the desert--because you don't expect to find a family friendly oasis in the middle of a place that seems entirely geared toward business travelers.I most recently came across a play area on a four-hour layover in Taipei, Taiwan, with my kids. They were excited to run about a fabulous playground with slides, tunnels, and all sorts of structures to climb around on. But now I have realized that I no longer have to stumble upon these place--I can now actively seek them out because I stumbled upon Cheapflights.com's new 2009 Kid’s Airport Diversion Guide. The downloadable guide details family activities in 24 major U.S. hubs as well as 10 international airports including Vancouver, B.C., Frankfurt, and Hong Kong.
Here's what the guide had to say about my local San Francisco airport:
San Francisco International: SFO’s secret gem is the San Francisco Airport Commission Aviation Library & Louis A. Turpen Aviation Museum. This museum is free and showcases SFO’s rich history. Modeled after the 1937 waiting room at the airport, families will find aviation models and a cool Pan Am exhibit. There is also a nice aquarium in Boarding Level C, the Departures/Ticketing Level of Terminal 1. And for those families that crave something more interactive, visit SFO Kids’ Spot in post-security Terminal 3 near Gate 87A. The spot features a crawling apparatus and a plasma wall that shoots arcs of energized color activated by sound.
My kids and I have already visited the Aviation Museum--my son is a huge fan--but we have yet to check out the aquarium. Next time!
P.S. In the photo above, that's my son enjoying himself at a play area in the Philadelphia airport.

That's a great tip. I will have to remember to check them out when we fly.
I love your Train, Plane and Automobile series. I love how you breakdown the cost for each day. That's such a great idea. I might need permission to copy that idea for our next trip. We would love to go to Legoland one day. Thanks for such a great info on your trip.
