Best vacation places for kids

In this article we will show you best vacation places for kids. Kids love vacations too and they need time-off from school, they get bored of doing their homework, and they like to go out and have fun. We have gathered the most amazing places for relaxation with your kids in.

Vacation is a great option when you want to get rid of stress. But choosing the right location is what matters most. And there are best vacation places near you that provides the best option when it comes to traveling with kids. You can find cheap cars deals and rent family travel car, this will provide you enough space for all your stuffs. Family travel car rental places are fantastic but you need to look for things that make your child feel safe. When children are on board, one of the most important things for parents is to ensure their safety, both on a local and on an international level.

What vacation showcases the biggest sunshine, no language barrier and wide open spaces?, we wondered. Well, turns out it’s Iceland! We were on a mission to find the best vacation spots for kids, and what we found? Iceland (and lots of other amazing places as well).

The best vacation places for kids are often the ones that let them run free and explore, but don’t forget to give them a chance to swim, too—and maybe even play in the sand. You’ll want to find a spot where there are plenty of other kids around your child’s age so they can make new friends and have fun together.

Here are some great destinations that will keep your family entertained while giving your kids an unforgettable experience:

-The beach! A beach vacation is always fun, especially if your family likes to build sandcastles or play in the waves.

-The mountains! If you love hiking, biking, and camping, then hitting the trails with your family is sure to be an amazing adventure. You can also try snowshoeing or skiing on some mountain peaks if winter is what you’re looking for!

-An amusement park! If there’s one thing kids love most about vacations, it’s being able to ride roller coasters and play arcade games all day long—and who doesn’t want that?

Since we’re all about family, I wanted to write about the best vacation places for kids.

I’m sure you already know that there are some places that are just not good for kids. You wouldn’t take them to a bar or a nightclub, so why would you take them on vacation to one?

However, there are some great places where you can go and have fun with your little ones.

I’ve compiled a list of my favorite spots so that you can see what’s out there and what might work for your family.

Amherst, Massachusetts

Age Sweet Spot: 2 to 8 years old

In its large, colorful art studio with lots of natural light, kids create the most amazing projects. They might be tissue-paper collages (like the ones that grace the pages of Carle’s works), layered paper drawings, or a craft that relates to a special event or temporary exhibition.

“My 6-year-old son, Jack, loved making the collages, and he’s not typically interested in crafts,” says Cindy Leahy, a mom of two in Marshfield,Massachusetts. “Our 2-year-old, Kate, played in the space’s toddler area with artsy magnets and blocks.” The museum also has a library with thousands of picture books; stop by there for staff-led storytime. Outside the library, don’t miss an Instagram-worthy photo op: a giant, two-sided Very Hungry Caterpillar reading cubby. Take a scavenger hunt through galleries featuring Carle’s original artwork plus some from other picture-book creators. carlemuseum.org

Legoland Discovery Centers

Multiple Locations

Age Sweet Spot: 4 to 9 years old

Like a cool children’s museum, these centers, located in 11 U.S. states and Toronto, Canada, woo little Lego fans with building contests, short 4-D movies, soft play areas, and building workshops. Some locations also include a Lego Friends area, a Duplo section for toddlers, and a Star Wars exhibit.

“My 4-year-old can’t get enough of the laser ride where he can zap villains in a dragon car,” says Cheryl Eugenio, founder of the Chicago-based blog O the Places We Go. Although tweens are into Legos, they may find the centers babyish. (And if your kids love this experience, consider a subsequent trip to a Legoland Theme Park.) legolanddiscoverycenter.com

The David F. Bolger Playspace

Sarasota, Florida

Age Sweet Spot: 3 to 8 years old

For your budding acrobat, The Ringling (of circus fame) recently opened this imaginative playground that’s attached to its free Bayfront Gardens. Designed by a German manufacturer, the playground features basket-like swings, colorful Bouncing Flowers (aka mini trampolines), and a three-story, 12-foot tunnel slide that kids climb up using nets and ladders. Toddlers will like a house with a small slide and splash area with a waterfall. ringling.org/playspace

 3 Disney Vacations That Don’t Involve a Theme Park (And You Probably Didn’t Know About)

Children’s Museum of Indianapolis

Indianapolis, Indiana

Age Sweet Spot: 2 to 9 years old

The largest children’s museum in the country—with five stories of fun—does a great job of engaging toddlers and pre-tweens in the same exhibit.

“For instance, in the Dinosphere, a parent could help a 3-year-old try on a dinosaur costume while still keeping an eye on her 8-year-old who is talking to a paleontologist about a real dinosaur fossil,” says Kim Harms, director of public and media relations. But the earlier you make the trip, the better.

The museum’s centerpiece is Playscape, a massive exhibit on the third level just for children 5 and under as well as their siblings. Kids can launch balls from the Reaction Contraption, see things fly through the Whirly Twirly Tower, and grab a net and explore the pond habitat. Thoughtful conveniences like hand-gel stations, family bathrooms, child-size toilets, and nursing rooms, right in the space, make the outing less stressful for you. childrensmuseum.org

Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park

Gilroy, California

Age Sweet Spot: 2 to 6 years old

Started as a tree sanctuary, this park has become a haven for the stroller crowd. “One of my biggest regrets is that I waited until my kids were 4 and 7 to do it,” says Peter Hartlaub, pop-culture critic for the San Francisco Chronicle. “I thought it was going to be cheesy, but it was awesome.”

Most of the park’s gentle rides are themed around fruits and veggies, so your kiddos can twirl in garlic bulbs, spin in strawberries, or hop on the mushroom swings. “You don’t have to worry about teenagers mowing down your kids and there’s never much of a line,” Hartlaub says.

The park also made getting on the rides easier for families with strollers by eliminating turnstiles. It opened a water area where kids might get sprayed by a flower or misted by a pop-up geyser. Check the park’s calendar before you go—in the fall, it’s generally open only on weekends. gilroygardens.org

The Polar Express Train Ride

Multiple Locations

Age Sweet Spot: 4 to 9 years old

Inspired by the classic holiday book, railroads in more than 30 cities nationwide (including Durango, Colorado; Newport, Rhode Island; Williams, Arizona; and Miami) typically offer hour-long rides that feature a reading from the book and a visit with Santa. Many of the railroads also supply a cup of hot chocolate and cookies as well as a gift from Santa—a sleigh bell (just like in the story). raileventsinc.com

Walt Disney World and Disneyland

Orlando, Florida and Anaheim, California

Age Sweet Spot: 4 to 8 years old

Your kids might never outgrow wanting to hang out at Disney’s parks, but there is a short window when their reaction to meeting their favorite characters is so joyful and endearing that it’ll make it worth all the time and money you spent to get there. Economics are on your side now too: If you go when the kids are 10 or older, you’ll have to pay adult prices for their tickets and meals.

For Disney World, use the free My Disney Experience app to find updated character locations.

“You can reserve FastPass+ in advance of your trip: It’s essential to see Anna, Elsa, Cinderella, and Rapunzel in Princess Fairytale Hall—otherwise the wait could be three to five hours,” says Len Testa, founder of TouringPlans.com, a website and app that provides itineraries for seeing the parks. disneyparks.disney.go.com

 Disney World vs. Disneyland: Which Park Is Right for You?

Monterey Bay Aquarium

Monterey, California

Age Sweet Spot: 1 to 8 years old

While this famous aquarium about two hours south of San Francisco appeals to all ages, its incredible Splash Zone section—with crawl-through tunnels, textured walls, and low exhibit windows—caters to young kids. Among the 45 interactive exhibits, kids will find pull-out plush eels to play with next to living moray eels; touch pools with sea urchins, abalones, and other creatures; a dress-up area where they can put on a sea-horse costume next to a tank with actual sea horses, as well as games, knobs, buttons, and levers galore relating to sea life. The exhibit also offers Coral Reef Kingdom, a cornered-off padded section for kids under 34 inches. (Combine with a trip to Gilroy Gardens and make it a long weekend!) montereybayaquarium.org

The Crayola Experience

Easton, Pennsylvania

Age Sweet Spot: 4 to 9 years old

The majority of the 25 attractions in this crafty kids’ paradise about 80 miles from Philadelphia are surprisingly high-tech thanks to a refresh last year. Kids can create digital works of art and project them to a bigger screen, use computers to print their crayon labels (with the name of their choice), and generate an image of themselves as a coloring page using a Photobooth. The story of how crayons are made is now partially animated, so it’s more engaging than ever. But despite the digital makeover, double-digit kids will lose interest quickly unless they’re super artsy. crayolaexperience.com

 5 Bucket-List Trips for Families

Keystone Resort

Keystone, Colorado

Age Sweet Spot: 5 to 9 years old

At this mountain retreat about 90 miles west of the Denver airport, kids have their own life-size snow castle to explore when they hop off the gondola at Dercum Mountain. “My 9-year-old’s jaw dropped when he saw it,” says Amy Whitley, founder of PitStopsForKids.com. “It’s elaborate, featuring tunnels, a lookout tower, ice slides, and an ice-sculpture throne. Take a picture on the throne.”
