Going on family vacations should be done as often as possible, as there are multiple benefits, especially for the children. In addition to creating or strengthening the bond between parents and children, family vacations are a valuable source of informal education: children will learn more about geography, history or local traditions than they ever will by studying a school textbook. Moreover, children will have the opportunity to learn more about the world, about different cultures and people, all in a fun and practical way. Lastly, taking a family vacation can prove the best present you can give your children.
If you want a full experience for you and your children, you should consider taking a vacation in the USA, as there are many entertaining options for almost any budget. Here are some of the most popular destinations for families who are traveling to the USA:
San Francisco and Yosemite National Park.
If you arrive at the San Francisco International Airport, it would be a pity not to visit this amazing city, filled with family-friendly attractions, such as the popular Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf or Twin Peaks. Perhaps a trip to Alcatraz would be more interesting to adults than to children, but a visit to the Exploratorium should definitely impress your little ones. Just a few hours away from San Francisco there is Yosemite National Park, offering various outdoor activities for the active family: you can hike, camp and even go river rafting or mountain climbing if your children are old enough.Anaheim-Disneyland and Los Angeles.
One of the perks of traveling to the USA with children is having fun in a theme park without looking suspicious. Anaheim-Disneyland offers reasons to smile to the entire family: while your children meet the famous Disney characters, you will be able to enjoy some of the park’s most exciting rides. While you are in the area, you may want to take the opportunity to visit LA and take the kids to the Hollywood movie studios, to the beach and to some interesting museums.Colonial Williamsburg
Colonial Williamsburg is a different type of attraction if you decide to take a vacation in the USA. This city, located in the state of Virginia, is a must see for young history aficionados. The city recreates colonial times, so you and your family can have the opportunity to walk around buildings from the Revolutionary War period, you can take part in reenactments and you can simply enjoy living history. Take advantage and explore the Busch Gardens, which will prove fun for the entire family, from toddler to adult.The Out’n’about Treesort
The Out’n’about Treesort is a completely different destination for a family vacation. Located in Oregon, this is an incredibly fun family resort and tree house complex. Accommodation is provided for the entire family in tree houses and there are plenty of family activities to choose from: you can enjoy fun ziplines, you can do river rafting, mountain climbing, horseback riding, hiking and, of course, tree climbing. Needless to mention, this destination is for the adventurous type of family with slightly older children.The USA is very resourceful when it comes to family vacations from many viewpoints, including style and budget.
