If you’ve ever tried to plan a family vacation, then you’ll know what a stressful experience it can be. Whether you’re trying to find pet friendly extended stay hotels or a destination with activities that will please adults and children of varying ages and with different interests is a skill akin to rocket science – just how are you meant to keep everyone happy?
Well, we’ve got a few ideas ahead of the summer vacation season arriving. From walking holidays in a national park to cruising the high seas to the guaranteed winner that is a Disney Resort, here are five family vacation ideas that will prove a hit this summer.
Go to a Disney Resort
There are few locations in the world which can bring adults and kids together in appreciation of a talking mouse or a flying carpet like Disney can. That makes a trip to one of their resorts the sort of vacation that can easily please the entire family. Your kids will love the rides and letting their imaginations run wild as they meet the characters and the adults can pretend they’re there for the spas, the restaurants and the golf rather than meeting Mickey and Goofy – but we all know the real reason!
Take a cruise
Wouldn’t it be great if you could spend your time on vacation living in one big place that had ample entertainment for all ages and tastes, and that allowed you to visit some of the worlds coolest cities? That is exactly what a cruise holiday does. The food and drink onboard is top notch, every day there will be something happening to keep the whole family entertained and best of all, you’ll be sailing from one country to another and experiencing different places and cultures on a near-daily basis.
Visit a National Park
There are 58 national parks in the United States, all offering an affordable way to spend a vacation in the great outdoors, breathing in clean air, getting some much-needed exercise while appreciating the beauty of mother nature. All you have to do is find a pair of comfortable walking boots from Authority Shoe, stock up on supplies and get exploring.
Go on an American road trip
There is no better (and fun) way to experience the United States than a Great American Road Trip. Whether it be the classic Route 66 or an itinerary of your own design, chucking a fortnights worth of clothes into the back of your car and hitting the road to experience a real taste of America will ensure you can find something out there for everyone.
Take a city break
Cities tend to have such a diverse population that they have to have a wide range of interests in order to cater for their inhabitants. That means that a city break can offer something for all tastes. Take New York for example. If you’ve got a baseball-loving husband, he can take in a game at Yankee Stadium. Your dinosaur-loving son will love the American Museum of Natural History. Your daughter with a penchant for art can visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art and you can unwind with your favorite book in Central Park. That’s before we’ve even got onto all the great sights that will appeal to all the family.
