See Online Courses   Search Travel with Kids Family Vacation Spots: a "personal best" list of family vacation spots... They say one man'spizza is another man's poison, and the same is true for "best" family vacation spots: we allhave preferences. I admit leanings toward history and the dread word "scenery"... Nonetheless, we've had super trips of many different styles-- Disney, Caribbean beaches, Tuscan hill towns, Utah skiing -- that I hope you'll enjoy too. Scroll down below, or take these shortcuts: Paris | Walt Disney World | Yellowstone | Jamaica Resort | US Virgin Islands | Amelia Island | Whistler, BC | Europe family resorts | Mayan Riviera | Tuscany | NYC | Brazil all-inclusive | Oahu | Quebec Carnival | Utah skiing 1) Best Family Vacation Spots: ParisWith Kids Ah, the City of Light: not to mention famous (free for kids) museums; the Eiffel Tower, my kids' top attraction ever; the river Seine with its wide walkways so perfect for strollers; and heavenly patisseries . (More Europe destinations are found below.) 2) WaltDisney World Orlando, Florida was merely a swampy spot and a gleam in Walt Disney's eye in 1966, but is now the planet's most powerful magnet for families. Many attractions have joined Walt Disney World, but it's still the colossus, with four huge theme parks and an area the size of Boston, and probably ranks as "best family vacation spot" for millions. 3) Family Adventure in Yellowstone National Park "Family Adventures" are all-inclusive escorted tours in a great outdoors area, with "multisports" like hiking, rafting, and horse-riding. Yellowstone was far better than I'd dreamed-- as was the "family adventure" concept. Think: no hassles, check-in line-ups, or "where'll we eat?" Think: a small group of fellow travelers who turn out to be great company, and guides who go all out to make your trip wonderful. 4) Franklyn D. Resort, Jamaica The phrase "all-inclusive family resort" is common in the Caribbean, but only FDR and its sister resort include a "vacation nanny" throughout your stay. Fun includes biking, water-sliding, scuba diving (for ages 12 and up), walking up a waterfall. Feeding kids is a piece of cake, whether you choose kiddie buffets or a five-course dinner on the boardwalk. Suites are huge. More Great Caribbean Resorts 5) Best Family Vacation Spots: US Virgin Islands Three distinct islands in "American's Caribbean" offer family-friendly resorts, a land-and-sea National Park, super snorkeling, colonial towns and forts, duty-free shops, and some novel ways to explore the underseas. Personal favorite activities: snorkeling and sea-trekking. 6) Amelia Island, Florida Still relatively unknown, Amelia Island-- in northern Florida near Jacksonville-- has lovely beaches; a historic fort complete with actors who play period characters; a quaint town with wonderful old buildings; delicious sea-food; and two fine resorts, the Amelia Island Plantation and the Ritz-Carleton, both of which welcome kids. 7) Whistler-Blackcomb Ski Resort (BC, Canada) Whistler-Blackcomb is a hip place forx-treme skiers and partiers: yet this dual resort welcomes thousands of families, with a Children's Adventure Park, a family-friendly zone of green runs, popular ski camps for kids, Ride Tribe for teens. Stay in an attractive townhome with full kitchen; hop on free shuttle buses to the slopes. 8) Europe: Center Parcs Family Resorts Center Parcs has 13 family resorts in northern Europe: each with a huge domed area that houses a tropical pool (slides, waves, etc.), restaurants, shops, etc. Large cottages; country settings; many outdoors activities-- and affordable. 9) Family Vacation Spot, Mexico: Mayan Riviera A top family vacation spot, that combines beach fun with interesting (and even educational!) outings in the area. Just south of busy Cancun is a very different Mexico, with sleepy beach towns, beautiful coral reef, a unique eco-archeological theme park, lagoons for snorkeling, and Mayan ruins. 10) Tuscany & Unbria Kids are natural-born medievalists: they love knights and castles and tales of old-- and the hill towns of Tuscany and Umbria are super places to let their imaginations go. The old sections of these towns are picture-perfect, with centuries-old stone buildings and no plastic ticky-tack. If you're willing to try alternative-type lodgings, the adventure can even be affordable. 11) New York with a Teen New York is exciting for any age but theres an extra thrill in visiting with a child old enough to know they're in one of the world's great cities. Click to see highlights of a visit with a 13-year-old: and as a bonus, many of these activities are low-cost or even free. 12) Breezes Costa do Sauipe, Brazil Yes, it's far to go; but, ah, once you're there... Award-winning Breezes Costa do Sauipe has five miles of unspoiled beach; multi-resort complex with shared equestrian, golf, and lake activities; nearby outings; tour of historic Salvador; kids' program and infant care; fabulous seafood; a very fun and Brazilian ambiance. And your dollar goes a long way. 13) Oahu, Hawaii One small island, so much to do: from famous Waikiki Beach to north shore surfing, eco-tours, Pearl Harbor, luaus, and High Tea in British colonial style (with kids' tea also), Hawaii's island of Oahu has an amazing range of fun for family vacations. 14) Quebec Winter Carnival Ice Palaces, ice sculptures, snow sculptures (left), giant slides for sleds... the Quebecois people know how to celebrate winter. Quebec City is easily reached from northeast cities, and its 2-week carnival in February is a joyous and friendly good-time-for-all, especially kids. (If you don't parlez , don't worry; people in the tourist industry speak English.) 15) Salt Lake City Skiing There are seven very different ski areas, under an hour's drive from Salt Lake City. We had a great time sampling three of them: Alta (skiers only), Solitude, and Park City. A top family vacation spot for skiing!
