There are several destinations that the whole family can enjoy on any vacation, but here are my top 9. I’ve been all over the world, but these are the cream of the crop!
Table of Contents
1. Paradise Island, Bahamas
The main reason that this place is so popular is that the whole island is filled with different adventures. The children AND adults can all feel like true explorers. There are over 50,000 animals on the island, like sharks, lionfish, and stingrays. Your family will love every bit of it, assuming you can afford the airfare.
2. Snowbird, Utah
The main reason that this place is so popular for families is that it is a great place for adventures in the snow, like skiing. There are also many activities that some of the family can do if they need a break from the slopes, like ice skating, snow tubing, and luge sleds. Never forget the awesomeness of a winter vacation!!
3. Tuscon, Arizona
Anyone from city slickers to country folks can enjoy a good old ranch weekend out in Tuscon. This city will bring out the cowboy of every person in your family. There are over 120 horses available on certain ranches, so you can even count on this place for a last-minute getaway
4. Waikoloa, Hawaii
Here, parents can enjoy a luxurious vacation while the children can enjoy a variety of different activities at Camp Menehune, like the tropical gardens, saltwater lagoons, and golf courses. You can’t beat the scenery or convenience of Hawaii, so get here while it lasts!
5. Williamsburg, Virginia
Couples that have children love the wilderness that they can easily explore as a family. One of the most popular places to visit while visiting Williamsburg is Busch Gardens, a theme park with a zoo. It can be pricy, but well worth the expense. Just make sure you spend an entire time there and book well in advance.
6. Las Vegas, Nevada
Children of all ages love going to the circus, and parents are usually pleasantly surprised by how fun it can be. Whether you’re going to the real circus or Cirque de Soleil, you’ll have a blast in Vegas. As long as you’re staying in well-regarded areas during the day, you don’t have to worry about anything inappropriate.
7. Takilma, Oregon
This place is so popular because your family will have the opportunity to stay in a tree house. This means that your children are going to be able to climb stairs and ladders and walk across a 90-foot suspension bridge with ease. The views are unforgettable, and this location is just out of the way enough that your vacation will be very unique.
8. Ixtapa, Mexico
There are a variety of activities for the whole family to enjoy here. Children can enjoy the different clubs, while their parents can enjoy activities such as tennis, scuba diving, archery, kayaking, water polo, volleyball, and picnics! Right now, things in Mexico are kind of dicey though, so keep this on the back burner for now.
9. Carlsbad, California
This destination is very educational because it’s easy to learn about the environment in protected areas. In addition, there are copious opportunities for pampering. While the kids are learning on a scavenger hunt through the forest, parents can enjoy golf courses and spa treatments.
10. Orlando, Florida
It might sound trite, but it’s true. Disney World and the Animal Kingdom are kind of unbeatable. There are plenty of things for parents to do too, like sunbathing and enjoying the numerous amenities of the nearby hotels. However, this can be extremely (extremely) pricy, so plan well!
