America's Most Family-Friendly Airports

The countrys top terminals forkeeping kids occupied.From September 2012By Donna Heiderstadt

Long airport layovers are a special kind of torment.Sitting for hours in a crowded terminal with hardplastic seats and blaring intercom announcementsis bad enough if youre on your ownbut what ifyouve got kids in tow? The challenges of keepinglittle ones occupied in airports have surely ledcountless parents to reconsider road-tripping.

It seems safe to say that no U.S. airports qualify asplaces where anyone would actually want to hangout. (If you think thats true for airports everywhere,think again: Switzerlands Zurich Airport does abrisk business hosting kids birthday parties at itsflight-themed play areas.) Still, there are domesticterminals that have taken real steps to minimize thediscomfort of long delays for families.

To find out which of Americas airports earn theirwings at catering to children, Travel + Leisure, in our first-ever airport survey, asked readers to rate 22domestic airports in a variety of categories, including family-friendliness. Once we had the results, we took alook at what the top-ranked airports actually offer to keep kids entertained.

Some airports made the list for their unique exhibits and art displays. Orlando International Airport, forexamplethe portal for families en route to the happiest place on Earthhas a massive aquarium filledwith sea creatures. Denver International Airport, meanwhile, is home to 30-odd art exhibits, including a mile-long subterranean light and sculpture installation.

Other airports were tapped by travel-savvy parents for their high-tech amusements. At SeattleTacomaInternational Airport, kids interested in the citys vaunted indie music scene can check out local bands withvideo screens, audio recordings, and even a free smartphone app showcasing top performers. Many otherairports on our list (all but three, in fact) were also touted for their free Wi-Fia universal blessing for boredteenagers.

Still other airports made the family-friendly list for their plethora of kid-centric play areas, shops, and eateries.Some have airplane-themed play zones, featuring mock airplanes with radio towers and slides; or self-guidedscavenger hunts that lead kids to clues and let them win prizes. And what child wouldnt show at least apassing interest in video arcades or sandwich shops specializing in gourmet peanut butter and jelly?

So if youre headed on a family vacation anytime soon, read on for details about which American airportsmake getting there half the funor at the very least, tolerable.

No. 2 Detroit (DTW)When its time for families to wing it, theMotor City rocks it. Top marks go toDetroit Metro Airports McNamaraTerminal for its multiple play areas, HenryFord and Motown stores, and foodconcessions that include a gourmetpeanut butter and jelly sandwich shop.Its worth noting that our survey wasdone before the debut of free Wi-Fi (thisfall) and the North Terminals recentlyopened Play Port soft-sculptedplayground featuring an aircraft and aslide through padded clouds. With allthese activities, by the time kids boardtheir flights, their only destination shouldbe la-la land.

No. 3 Seattle (SEA)Kids might not knock back caramelmacchiatos, but the home of Starbucks(the airport has four) sure delivers a joltof sanity to parents, who love how Sea-Tac International keeps both older andyounger children occupied. Preteens andteens can sample its new Experience theCity of Music playlists via speakers,video screens, free Wi-Fi, and even afree smartphone app showcasing some ofthe regions top performers.
