Club Med Punta Cana - kids clubs

Above: entrance to the most extensive kids' facility you're likely to lay eyes on.

Step through to the multi-roomed Petit Club Med for ages 2 and 3 and Mini Club Med for ages 4 to 10, plus a large fenced play zone with several playgrounds and two swimming pools.

At the Petit Club Med, Bambi's (2-year-olds) have activities such as arts and crafts, story time, playground and pool time, from 8:45 am until 9 pm. The Dolphins (3-year-olds) have pool time, games, Happy Gym, Mini Tennis, Putumayo music discovery program, Science club, and more. (Note: there's an extra charge for Petit Club Med.)

Over at the separate Mini Club Med are the Meddy's (age 4 to 5), Clubbers (6 to 7), and Kids (8 to 10.) Activities include circus, snorkeling, tennis, archery, and Hip Hop dance.

Also part of Club Med Punta Cana's kids programs are the Junior Club Med, for ages 11 to 13, and The Ramp, an innovative new place for teens.
