Caches that are recommended for kids
If you’re tall or small, if you’re green or blue, there is a cache that is best suited for you. With Attribute Search, it has become easier to find just those caches. To curate a list of some of the best caches for kids, we filtered by the attribute Recommended for kids, sorted our results by Favorite points, and picked different locations to give you some of the best caches for our youngest geocachers.

This magical geocache inspired by stories of knights and adventures features no other than the famous sword in the stone. Geocachers young and old can try their luck to pull the large blade from its rock in order to “scribe thy name” as cache owner Diehard50248 puts it. Embark on this journey only if you think you’re one of the chosen!
