California’s Carmel Valley Ranch recently launched its new Munchkin Menu for family travelers to better enjoy the property and its more than 500 acres. Created with the littlest ranchers in mind, the new menu provides families an array of options, from Mockingbird and BOB strollers to Noodle & Boo baby bath kits.

 

Highlights of the Munchkin Menu include:

 

Essentials

Families can check out a Mockingbird or off-road BOB stroller during their stay for a daily fee. BOB strollers are perfect for hiking, and families also have access to complimentary pack n’ play, high chairs and booster seats, as well.

For even more fun, guests can also purchase a Little Scavengers set to encourage kids to be more in tune with their surroundings. The Little Scavengers set includes a Little Otter journal, as well as daytime and bedtime cards to empower kids with techniques like awareness, breathing, gratitude, stretching and more.

 

Comfort

Make the stay as comfortable and easy as possible with complimentary amenities like a diaper genie, bottle warmer, elephant night light and sound machine projecting a starry nightscape in the room. This package also includes a complimentary Bundle of Joy bath kit by Los Gatos-based Noodle & Boo, featuring allergen-free, newborn shampoo, body wash and lotion.
