Tips on Atlantis with kids?

[bryantpark]

Anyone want to give me tips on Atlantis with kids? Two girls 4 and 18 months. We are staying at Reef. I know about the grocery delivery / we have a full kitchen. Wondering if they have stroller rental since the place is so huge.

We own at Harborside, so that's predominately where we go. I've stayed at the Cove and Royal too, but never the Reef.
Atlantis is huge. There are two main kids' pools (seahorse and the big playground one). For your kids I would focus on those two pools or the pool at the Reef (they share with the Cove, or at least did). Your 4 y/o may enjoy the river Rapids ride , and can go on it with an adult in a double raft. The kids club starts at age 3, we haven't used it but I've only heard good things. they have half and full day programs. I'm sure your 18 m/o will love the aquarium.

As for kids' dining, we really like Murray's deli down by the pier. There is a pizza place next to it that makes good pizza too and big servings of pasta. You can order it to go. Poop deck is a restaurant in town that has great fresh seafood, a wonderful view, and is family friendly. It's a short cab ride away.

DH and I really enjoy eating at Mesa, which I think allows kids till 8pm. We like to go sans kids, but have still enjoyed the meal on the times we had to take them.

There's lots of daily activities for the kids , like games by the pool, chances to feed the fish, etc. Check the daily guide to see what's happening everyday. The movie theater is free and shows a kid friendly film every afternoon.

I'm probably forgetting a bunch, let me know if you have any specific questions. I would consider a stroller for the 18 m/o as the property is massive. I've never seen stroller rental there, but maybe a company like Baby's Away is nearby.

I did have to do a double taken when I saw that a bag of Tyson chicken was about $36!!!! But alas no butter storage for us! Maybe peanut butter though :-)
