SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FL, February 8, 2017 – The Five-Star Acqualina Resort & Spa enhances its family club of specialized offerings and introduces the new Strider Adventure Zone, a thrilling activity for children ages 18 months to 5 years old where they will learn balance and coordination skills while riding a no-pedal Strider Balance Bike. This program is designed for toddlers and their parents to engage in a fun, hands-on activity together while on vacation at the luxury resort.
With Acqualina’s beautiful oceanfront setting, younger guests will be inspired to test ride a Strider Balance Bike on a path lined with race cones and flags fronting the hotel’s white sand beach. Acqualina’s pool and beach attendants will lead the program while children with their parents by their side learn to balance on two wheels, lean through turns and steer while propelling the bike along the fun course.
“Through our partnership with Strider, we are creating a unique, engaging and healthy activity for our little guests,” said Deborah Yager Fleming, CEO of Acqualina Resort & Spa. “This is a great way for our families to get together and it also builds confidence in children while they create lasting memories at Acqualina.”
The Strider Adventure Zone perfectly complements the resort’s family club and children’s center including the AcquaMarine program, offered for children ages 5 to 12 through a half or full day of educational activities focusing on a variety of marine biology themes. The Teen Scene offers a menu of classes for ages 12 to 16 from arts, dance & hip hop to a make-up tutorial and volleyball clinic while the Learner’s Permit Certification gives teen fitness enthusiasts a 60-minute fitness class by a certified personal trainer.
