10 Family Friendly Vacation Spots

Wondering where to take your family on vacation? Wonder no longer. Whether you want to stay in the country or head to a more exotic location, here are ten excellent choices.

1. Orlando, U.S.

Of course, Orlando is where you’ll find Disney World, but don’t forget to hit the beach and consider taking a day trip to the Kennedy Space Center.

2. Marrakech, Morocco

Want to immerse your kids in some cultures? Marrakech is a wonderfully bizarre place to head that you and your children will enjoy. Dive into the markets and see the sights with the entire family.

3. Saltspring Island, Canada

This tiny Gulf Island is not only beautiful, but it’s also a great place for families. Try your hand at beachcombing, grab an ice cream at a local creamery or listen to a band in the park.

4. Jamaica

The entire Caribbean island is one big, family-friendly place. You’ll find plenty of great resorts here with activities for kids of all ages. Swimming and beach play is just the way to relax in this tropical paradise.

5. Barcelona, Spain

Filled with art, good food, and amazing culture, Barcelona is precisely the sort of place kids love. You’ll have a blast, too.

6. London, England

What child can resist a massive castle or the haunting Tower of London? While you could take the opportunity to give your kids a history lesson, I’d suggest just going along for the ride.

7. Dublin, Ireland

Head to the land of the leprechaun and you won’t regret it. There are plenty of fun things to do here, from the Viking Splash Tour to the children’s cultural center, the Ark.

8. Los Cabos, Mexico

While not as popular as places like Cancun, Los Cabos has a charm all its own. It’s just the spot to enjoy water sports, do some shopping in the local market and swim with whales.

9. Salzburg, Austria

Show your family The Sound of Music before you head to the town where Mozart was born. You can take a Sound of Music tour, or explore a creepy castle/fort and labyrinth mazes.

10. Washington, DC

The capital of the US is the perfect place to visit with your family. Check out the White House, Lincoln Memorial, and Smithsonian for a little historical education. Then head to a riverboat to enjoy a lazy afternoon on the water.
