Traveling with Kids This Summer? Fast Park offers tips, tricks, giveaways and sweepstakes

CINCINNATI--July 3, 2013: Summer vacations are on many family agendas, but let's face it - traveling with children can be a challenge. For decades, Fast Park, the leading offsite airport parking company, has provided a relaxing start to any trip. This month Fast Park is going a step further to assist parents and caregivers traveling with children this summer with free advice.

Free activity pack for young travelers Starting Saturday, June 15, Fast Park will provide a "FunTime FastPak" to young travelers ages two to eight. Each backpack has a variety of items including a coloring and activity book, crayons and a snack. The bags will be distributed to families through the end of the summer as supplies last.

Tips and tricks to keep parents sane On the Fast Park website parents will find travel tips, games and a downloadable app list to keep children busy at the terminal and on the plane as they anxiously await to arrive at their destination. What parents will find:

Family Travel Tips: advice such as getting the children involved in packing, researching the airport ahead of time for activities, getting through security with little ones and more. Family Travel Checklist: a compilation of extra items parents may not think to bring to keep children busy and seated. The list includes making necklaces with paper clips, an in-flight magazine scavenger hunt and more. Kid-Friendly Apps: a list of free and paid apps that parents can download on an iPhone, Android or iTouch. New apps downloaded the night before a trip can keep them busy for hours. Airport Terminal Games: Parents often make it to the terminal in one piece but keeping the children busy while waiting to board the plane is another story. This link provides information on an airport scavenger hunt and a terminal I Spy game.
