A few days ago I mentioned having fun things planned for this summer, many families go on vacation to different places. Although there are a multitude of destinations considered kid-friendly, here are the top 5 you may want to consider on your next family vacation.
This ultimate family vacation has been the source of great joy for adults and kids alike. Whether you stay several miles from the theme park or enjoy the onsite amenities, this vacation affords you an endless array of activities designed for the entire family. From Epcot Center to Sea World; from Disney Village to Universal Studios; Water parks to Wildlife parks; no time is wasted at this world-famous resort.
Moreover, many online travel sites are offering special packages to Disney World as well as Southwest Airlines and others. In addition, you can save quite a bit of money by selecting hotels that offer free stays for children, as well as free meals for the little ones. This is one destination where you can easily book a trip based on your budget and stick to it.
From Alaska to Wyoming, there are a multitude of dude ranches perfect for a family vacation. But, one of the most notable is the Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch in Colorado, approximately 20 miles from Rock Mountain National Park. Here, your family can engage in an array of activities including: horseback riding, hayrides, nature walks, and a host of amenities provided by the ranch.
This dude ranch is perfect for families who love the outdoors as well as enjoy visiting such historic sites as Fort Collins, Old West Museums, and Cheyenne (where you can buy tickets to the world’s largest rodeo held from July 17 to the 26th).
While Oahu has always been a popular destination, it is Maui that attracts family vacationers more than any of its islands. The reason is that it offers a wide variety of activities such as whale watching (seasonal); Lahaina, a famous whaling village; and Maui Ocean Center, home to the largest aquarium in Hawaii.
Your family can also take a ride on the Sugar Cane Train, circa 1890; visit Oheo Gulch to marvel at the spectacular waterfalls; spend a day at Iao Valley and view the Iao Needle; or visit the black-sand beaches at Waianapanapa in East Maui.
For fabulous weather, magnificent sunsets, and beautiful beaches; Maui is the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy spending quality family time.
Probably the most exciting vacation spot for families is New York. The “Big Apple” has something for everyone; from Broadway to Rockefeller Center, you will never run out of things to do here. Among the many sites to visit is Radio City Music Hall where you can take in a show; Madison Square Garden; the Empire State Building; the Village; 42nd Street, the Theatre District; museums; shopping, fabulous cuisine; the list is endless.
Spend a day walking along Fifth Avenue and stop at St. Patrick’s Cathedral; take a tour of NBC Studios; spend an afternoon in Central Park and visit the zoo there; go to the South Street Seaport or take in a matinee performance on a Wednesday afternoon.
Whether you stay uptown or downtown, you will always be in close proximity to the many historic sites and sounds that comprise Manhattan. Moreover, your kids will enjoy all this city has to offer.
The city that never sleeps offers a wide range of attractions for kids. This is why it is among the top family destinations in the US today. Moreover, it is an affordable vacation because the hotel packages and meals will fit any budget.
Among the many attractions offered for families include: M&M’s World, the Lion Habitat at MGM, Adventure Canyon, Game Works (a video game-playing wonderland), Sports Park, Circus Circus rides; Dolphin Habitat at the Mirage hotel; Shark Reef; New York, New York’s roller coaster; Madame Tussaud’s; Lake Mead; Children’s Museum (the largest of its kind); and Adventuresdome, the largest theme park in the U.S.
Many of these attractions are free and are well worth visiting. Don’t forget the Flamingo Habitat at the Flamingo hotel or the spectacular water fountain show across the way at Caesars Palace.
For great fun and awesome rides and venues, Las Vegas is a wonderful choice for your next family vacation.

Thank you so much for sharing information about this wonderful places, if I’ve got the chance I will certainly pick Hawaii, I love the beach and I am dieing to see the Maui Ocean center.
Las vegas child friendly? Who would thought that.
You would think that Las Vegas is the furthest thing from a family friendly place, but it’s not. The casinos do a really good job at making it fun, more importantly appropriate, for the entire family. They are extremely strict on their no minor rule in the casino and have a lot of different activities to do when with the kids. Regards!
We just got back from Vegas on a family vacation and it was awesome. Vegas was never a place I thought I would take kids when I was younger but now that I’m older and out of the party days Vegas is really a fabulous place for the family. There is so much to do. We live in the Central Valley and there is a super cheap flight out of Merced Ca for only $79 to Vegas. It’s a little commuter plane (so its loud) but it gets us there and it was great!
The places you’ve mentioned are all interesting. I just wish I have enough money to afford a vacation to all these wonderful places. I’m looking forward to reading travel tips for budget travelers who are heading to these destinations.
Nice Article! And Thank You Very Much For This Information About Kid Friendly US Destinations.
Housings last blog post..Rental homes- easy to find
Thanks for the tips! I never would have guessed Las Vegas was kid-friendly!
Thanks for the post Tamara, though I never really liked Las Vegas, just too much smoke in the hotels and they make sure that you never miss the casinos even if you need to just go to your room. At least that was my experience in the hotels i stayed in.
