10 Best Travel Destinations in the World for Families Posted by Hank Klinger on November 21, 2013

While I don’t have children, I have several children in my life. So I took all the consideration of safety, freedom,

relaxation, and excitement aspect into consideration when choosing these sites. I researched several sites and

areas around the globe, and really wanted to give my personal opinion on the subject after reading guides,

reviews, and finding out what’s to do at each of these destinations. I believe that any of these ten would be a

blast for singles, couples, and families alike. I also gave different options depending on what sort of vacation

destination you are looking for.

Whether you’re looking for an adventure type vacation, a cultural experience, or a nice relaxing experience in

which you can kick it pool side while your children go to the aquarium and get taken on Jet Ski adventures,

you’ll find all the bases covered here.

The best 10 Travel Destinations for You and Your Family

10. Orlando Florida – Home of Universal studios, Disney World, and Sea World. You could stay here for a

month and you’re children would never get bored. Florida has gorgeous weather year round, though it is hot

and humid in the summers. All your bases are covered here, theme parks with rides and shows, outdoors and

nature, and celebrities and parties. Cape Canaveral is only 54 miles away as well, so if timed right you

shouldn’t have a problem seeing a rocket launch.

09. Playa Del Carmen, Yucatan Peninsula Mexico – Beautiful sandy beaches to lounge on after a day of

trekking through Mayan ruins and Archaeological dig sites. Lush Green Jungle Canopies complete with rope

bridges. The Discovery Jungle is a child centered theme park that includes a butterfly pavilion housed with

exotic plants, and an aquarium. To leave a lasting impression, get a guided tour through the Xcaret

underground rivers.

08. Sambru National Park Kenya – If you like the idea of vacation in an East African Plains setting this is

perfect. Head out on a Safari with the elephants and Zebras, this country is a wild life and nature enthusiast

dream come true. Horseback riding near the Nairobi animal sanctuary could get you some good shots of some

of Africas wildest creatures, such as antelopes and warthogs on your way Giraffe Manor for a nights stay.

07. Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort, Utah – This ski resort has over 3,240 ft and 5,000 acres of snow

packed mountain to explore. There’s no problem here of getting a run in with a uphill life capacity of 16,000

people. Since this enticing mountain resort is so close to the Great Salt Lake you can count on no less than

500 inches of fresh powder a year. There are slope for all levels of experience, and a ski school that has

classes teaching beginning to advanced lessons. In case aren’t big skiers, there are plenty of slopes for tubing

and sledding. After a gripping day of runs down the mountain relax in one of the day spas and spend some

time in the several shops purchasing souvenirs.

06. St. Lucia Adventure Spot – Ever dreamed of sailing? Walking on volcanoes? This destination is perfect

you and your family then. Serene Jungles waterfalls along the countless bike trails are the norm. And brush up

on some of your local history when you’re checking out some of the 18th century colonial ruins. At the end of

the day you can imagine what Tarzan must have felt like while your dining in one of the tree top restaurants.

05. Kyoto Japan – Ancient Japanese history permeates the entire are of Kyoto. This city has centuries old

temples, paintings and art. Immerse yourself in the culture of old world Japan. See real life Geishas and their

apprentices. Get lost in the tranquility of the more than 355,000 sq. ft. of luscious gardens. These gardens are

tended by a seventh generation grounds keeper and are gorgeous beyond words when the cherry trees are in

blossom in the spring time. Looking for some modern world culture? Go have a grand tour of the Japanese

cartoon and Manga Museum.

04. Atlantis Resort and Casino, Bahamas –Paradise in resort form, relive the lost civilization of Atlantis at

this $850 million dollar Hotel and Casino. More than 20,000 guest rooms of all levels of accommodation,

including fine dining, buffet, and diner style restaurants and bars. There are 11 natural exhibit lagoons where

you can watch and learn about more than 50,000 different species of animals. Not into the ocean? That’s OK,

you’ll be well taking care of at one of the 11 massive pools, seven of which have waterslides. End your trip with

a tour of a local Mayan temple.

03. Grand Cayman Islands, Caribbean – Watch in amazement as you view the inhabitants of stingray city

from the beautiful view of a glass bottom boat. After your boat ride take the kids to the Jolly Roger for some

epic sword fighting battles. That’s just the start, these islands are home to some of the most beautiful dive and

snorkeling spots in the world.

02. Paris France – You all know it and love it. Paris is one of the most culturally and historically significant

cities in the world. Learn and view the arts of the ages at the famous Louvre gallery and museum. View the

home of the legendary Hunchback of Notre Dame and take in the view of Paris from the wonder that is the

Eiffel Tower. But before you leave make sure and take a tour of the creepy Paris underground. Don’t forget that

there is no equal when it comes to food and dining, all modern cooking has major influence from French

cuisine, and with just reasons. Yum!

01. South Island, New Zealand – So I had to put this as number one as my mind was blown by all the different

activities and adventures one can have in New Zealands southern Island. You best bet is to rent a camper van

and drive cross-country. There are endless fun things to do, like bungee jumping, paragliding, and Zorbing.

Zorbing is rolling down hills in giant inflated balls. Try some kayaking on the peaceful Lake Wanaka. Or try

some fishing while the kids have a nice swim. Head out to the coast for whale watching and seals, and take a

boat ride to through Fjordland National Park to see some of the massive 4,000 ft. Sheer cliffs.

If this doesn’t get you excited, how about setting up a journey with Black Cat Cruises to do swimming with

dolphins. Then head to the Botanical gardens, finishing up with a guided tour through Anau Glowworm Caves

and get captivated by the awe inspiring underground waterfalls.

After reading this list I think you’ll see that all of these destinations are perfect for families or the solo

traveler looking to have a good time.

Family vacations are important; it’s nice to escape at times. And nothing creates better memories and builds a

better bond in the family than spending time abroad. Children will especially benefit from spending time in other

cultures, and nothing helps recharge the batteries like unplugging from the grind of everyday life.

I recommend traveling to all and families in particular. Everyone gains a lot from travel though regardless of

being single, a couple, or a family. If you can’t tell traveling is my passion and I’ve been a vagabond for about 8

years now. It wasn’t until the last year though that I really gained the freedom to travel the way I really wanted

to travel. Once I started working online everything changed for me financially and time wise.

If you’re looking to earn some extra cash to fund that next family vacation, or are a single lone wolf trying to

figure out how to come up with the funds to get away from it all, then I suggest you try working online and

blogging. Since I decided to get started online my life has become sort of like a dream. And now I like to

encourage people who are interested to take a few minutes to learn how they can get paid to blog. If this
