1. Multi-Generational Travel Tours
Tauck, a renowned international tour company now has a branch
just for families – Tauck Bridges Journeys. They offer all-inclusive tours to destinations
by land or water in Europe, Latin America and the U.S. From adventure-filled
treks through the rainforests of Costa Rica to river cruises through Europe,
Tauck offers something for everyone in the family. Zipline, visit art museums or just relax, knowing that every detail is taken care of so you have the most
family time possible.
2. Fun Activities or All Ages
There’s plenty to do at The Breakers Resort in Palm Beach,
Florida. The kids can play multiple gaming systems in one of the video game
lounges and then have the elders show them how it’s done in the retro arcade. There are also movie nights where everyone can gather together and water and land
sports where the group can split by skill level. Rent bikes to cruise around or
sightsee via kayak or paddle boats.
Boredom definitely has no place at this family-friendly destination.
3. Lots of Choices for Families
If you want options, you’ll like Sea Island Resort in
Georgia. There is a lot to do, whether you like relaxing in the 6,500-foot spa
while the kids chill at Camp Cloisters or if you’d prefer to hang out together
in the pool. Explore waterslides and miles of private beaches; when you
want to get in touch with nature, hunt for sea turtles or try your hand at
falconry. After dinner, relax in the bowling alley and visit the on-site ice
cream shop for the famous Gold Brick Sundae. For the most privacy and togetherness, stay in one
of the private cottages, which sleeps up to eight guests.
4. Where Glamping Meets Mini Golf
Nature and amenities collide at Big Cedar Lodge in
Ridgedale, Missouri. Created by the owner of Bass Pro Shops, this rustic retreat
has log cabins, cottages and glamping tents to suit your style. The real fun
comes with all the family-friendly activities, from Big Bass Mini Golf to walks
on nearby nature trails and strolls through museums. Guests can boat, bass fish or lounge at the spa while kids enjoy their very own Adventure Club.
5. Kids Glamp Right in the Hotel
When you want a big comfy hotel bed but your kids prefer
camping, The Woodlands, a forest resort in Texas, can hook the kids up with a special Glamping Package right in the room. They’ll get a mini tent and sleeping bag,
plus a s’mores kit, a plush toy, a flashlight, bandana and word puzzle. You
get 21 tennis courts, nature trails, yoga, kayaking and an arcade while
sleeping in a real bed. There’s also a water park with slides and a lazy river to
burn off all that energy from your great nights of sleep.
6. This Vacation Is a Circus
For families with active kids, let them join the circus. Circus School at Club Med Punta Cana has trained performers that lead guests through trapeze,
suspended bungee and trampoline. Baby Club Med is available for the youngest
set and Petite Club Med is great for toddlers. Mini Club Med keeps older kids
through tweens busy with sports like Kids’ Zumba. There’s also face painting, choreography and music to keep everyone moving.
