Top 5 Kid Friendly
Vacation Spots
Traveling with your children can be a difficult
thing to plan. When searching for the perfect
vacation spot for your family there are a number of
factors to take into consideration. Finding a
family-friendly vacation destination can be the
difference between a fabulous vacation for everyone
to remember and a complete disaster.
1. The top family vacation destination in the world
has long been located in central Florida. Walt
Disney World is filled with fun for everyone from
toddlers to grandparents. Staying in a Disney Resort
gives you and your family a chance to feel as if you
are in another world during your stay. Walt Disney
World offers your family a chance to have breakfast
with Mary Poppins or lunch with Cinderella. Watch
the faces of your children light up as they meet
Mickey Mouse for the first time or experience their
excitement as they enjoy their favorite ride in the
theme park. Walt Disney World in Florida offers
guests four theme parks (the Magic Kingdom, Epcot
Center, MGM Studios, and Animal Kingdom) and two
water parks (Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon) that
are open year-round. The Walt Disney World Resort
also offers a host of other activities such as
Pleasure Island for adults, shopping at Downtown
Disney, and a multitude of restaurants and cafes.
2. If you are looking for a tropical family
vacation, look no further than the Atlantis Resort
located on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. The
resort offers a wide variety of attractions to keep
everyone in the family having fun. The resort
features eleven pools and a number of water slides
and rides from kiddie pools to the Mayan Drop which
plunges riders down a six-story slide into the
water. The resort offers golfing, snorkeling,
sailing excursions and other outdoor activities that
allow you to enjoy the beautiful tropical landscape
that surrounds the resort. Children under twelve
years of age can visit the Discovery Channel Camp,
which includes lessons about indigenous sea life,
arts and crafts, aquarium visits, and guided
expeditions. It is guaranteed to be a favorite of
any child visiting the resort. For older guests the
resort is home to a full casino, shopping, a comedy
club and two dance clubs. Everyone is sure to find
something to do at Atlantis.
3. If your family enjoys snowy slopes rather than
sandy beaches, then be sure to plan a visit to
Snowbird Resort in Snowbird, Utah. Children under
twelve years of age ski free at Snowbird but the
amenities do not stop at the slopes. Families can
enjoy a range of activities in the winter months
such as snowshoeing, snowboarding, luging,
snowmobiling, ice skating and snow tubing. The
resort offers live music concerts year-round and
also hosts a number of competitive skiing
competitions and races. Ski schools and camps are
offered for children and child care services are
offered for children under twelve. For adults, the
resort offers a spa and fitness club.
4. For the adventurous family, the Treesort in
Takilma, Oregon is the perfect family vacation
destination. The Treesort offers a Swiss Family
Robinson type of vacation high above the ground in
the trees. The resort offers 18 different tree
houses for your family to discover. The resort also
includes swinging bridges, wooden swings, forts and
platforms for climbing and fun. The highlight of the
resort for many is the rope course that includes a
160 foot long zip-line. Families can enjoy the fresh
water swimming pool, one of few attractions located
on the ground, and the campsite area as well.
5. For a vacation that offers both activities and
educational value, families may want to consider
visiting Williamsburg, Virginia. The Kingsmill
Resort offers family vacation packages that can be
put together to suit any family. The resort offers
both golf and tennis courses, as well as a marina.
At the resort’s Kids Camp children will enjoy
activities like swimming and yoga, as well as time
in the resort’s game room. The resort is located
within driving distance to both Busch Gardens theme
park and historic Colonial Williamsburg. The resort
is also located close to both Richmond and Norfolk,
Virginia. The city of Williamsburg and the Kingsmill
Resort offer a family vacation full of relaxation,
activity, excitement and education.
