As parents, you may want to take a family trip
your children will remember for the rest of their lives. Some trips
are not soon forgotten and certain destinations are perfect for the
entire family. Of course, other destinations, such as Las Vegas and
Atlantic City simply don't fit for children, even if they say they do.
Here's a list of the top five places to take your family for your next
vacation.
Five Top Kid Friendly Vacation Spots
1. Disney World/Disneyland
These are not the same, but they are both perfect
for children and adults. Disney World is by far the most popular vacation
destination for children and Disneyland isn't far behind. Both are located
in warm climates, Disney World in Orlando, Florida and Disneyland in
Anaheim, California. These locations offer more than just the Disney
theme parks, as well. Orlando is home to a professional NBA team and
hosts many PGA and LPGA golf tournaments every year. Anaheim is home
to a Major League Baseball team and close to many other popular California
travel destinations. Either Disney Park can provide the best vacation for your family this year.
2. Yellowstone
If your family enjoys
nature and you want to travel on a small budget, Yellowstone is a great
choice. Home to an assortment of attractions, your family can enjoy
hiking, rafting and the beautiful view surrounding this area. This destination
allows you to see some of the most famous natural landmarks in the United
States including the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, Old Faithful and the
Mammoth hot springs. Camping at Yellowstone is very affordable and this
destination provides an educational experience.
3. San Diego
San Diego, California
is a top destination for families with
kids of all ages. With so much to do including 70 miles of beaches,
the San Diego Zoo and a number of other attractions, the whole family
can have fun. The zoo is rated as one of the best in the entire country
and San Diego offers both professional baseball and football for sports
fans.
4. Washington D.C.
For a more educational
trip with plenty of enjoyable tours and attractions, Washington D.C.
is a good choice. The National Mall provides great shopping, along with
excellent kid-friendly museums,
which are all free. Explore the history of the United States or take
a day off from the educational tours and take in a professional baseball
game.
5. Yosemite National
Park
Another great outdoor
location families can enjoy on a budget, Yosemite provides a close location
to San Francisco, along with many great attractions. Enjoy 1,200 acres
of waterfalls, unique rock formations, large Sequoia trees and natural
beauty. You can choose from camping out or staying at The Ahwahnee Hotel.
If you get sick of nature, take a day off and travel the couple of hours
up to San Francisco for a day in the city.
Any of the five destinations
above, along with many others provide attractions for all ages. If you
want to plan a memorable trip, start early and make sure, you consider
what all your children will enjoy.
