Top 5 Family Friendly Vacation
It is challenging to plan a vacation with children. When looking for the perfect holiday
spot for your family there are a few of factors to take into
consideration. Finding a family-friendly holiday destination can be
the difference between a enjoyable vacation for everyone to remember and
a complete catastrophe.
1. The top family vacation destination in the
world has always been located in central Florida. Walt Disney World is
filled with fun for everyone from toddlers to grandparents. Staying in
a Disney Resort gives you and your family a chance to feel as if you
are in another world during your stay. Walt Disney World offers your
family a chance to have breakfast with Mary Poppins or lunch with
Cinderella. Observe the faces of your kids light up as they meet
Mickey Mouse for the first time or experience their excitement as they
enjoy their favorite ride in the theme park. Walt Disney World in
Florida offers guests four theme parks (the Magic Kingdom, Epcot
Center, MGM Studios, and Animal Kingdom) and two water parks (Blizzard
Beach and Typhoon Lagoon) that are open year-round. The Walt Disney
World Resort also offers a host of other activities such as Pleasure
Island for adults, shopping at Downtown Disney, and a multitude of
restaurants and cafes.
2. If you are looking for a tropical family
vacation, look no further than the Atlantis Resort located on Paradise
Island in the Bahamas. The resort offers a wide diversity of attractions
to keep everyone in the family having fun. The resort has eleven
pools and a number of water slides and rides from kiddie pools to the
Mayan Drop which plunges riders down a six-story slide into the water.
The resort offers golfing, snorkeling, sailing excursions and other
outdoor activities that allow you to enjoy the beautiful tropical
landscape that surrounds the resort. Children under twelve years of age
can visit the Discovery Channel Camp, which includes lessons about
native sea life, arts and crafts, aquarium visits, and guided
expeditions. It is guaranteed to be a favorite of any kid visiting
the resort. For older guests the resort is home to a full casino,
shopping, a comedy club and two dance clubs. Everyone is sure to find
something to do at Atlantis.
3. If your family enjoys snowy slopes
rather than sandy beaches, then be sure to plan a visit to Snowbird
Resort in Snowbird, Utah. Children under twelve years of age ski free
at Snowbird but the amenities do not stop at the slopes. Families can
enjoy a range of activities in the winter months such as snowshoeing,
snowboarding, luging, snowmobiling, ice skating and snow tubing. The
resort offers live music concerts year-round and also hosts a number of
competitive skiing competitions and races. Ski schools and camps are

4.
For the adventurous family, the Treesort in Takilma, Oregon is the
perfect family vacation destination. The Treesort offers a Swiss Family
Robinson type of vacation high above the ground in the trees. The
resort offers 18 different tree houses for your family to discover. The
resort also includes swinging bridges, wooden swings, forts and
platforms for climbing and fun. The highlight of the resort for many is
the rope course that includes a 160 foot long zip-line. Families can
enjoy the fresh water swimming pool, one of few attractions located on
the ground, and the campsite

Spiderman the Ride - Universal Studios Islands of Adventure
The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman is located in Universal Islands of Adventure. The ride is based on a state of the art 4-D experience that totally immerses the riders in a visual and physical onslaught from start to finish. If you have not been on this ride before I would seriously recommend it! Having not really been a fan of the 3-D style rides and preferring the roller-coaster style on offer I was a bit dubious of the intention of a 4-D ride. I must admit I was also taken back by the age of some of the riders themselves, some as young as 4 years old. This ride was bound to be not as good as I had imagined. The entrance to the ride itself is set back into the scene of comic book land and as such the only thing that tells you it is the Spiderman Ride is the sign above the entrance door. They have made you think you are entering the daily bugle offices that are set in lower Manhattan, New York. If you hit the ride at peak times or during the summer months the wait can be...

area as well.
5. For a vacation that
offers both activities and educational value, families may want to
consider visiting Williamsburg, Virginia. The Kingsmill Resort offers
family vacation packages that can be put together to suit any family.
The resort offers both golf and tennis courses, as well as a marina. At
the resort Kids Camp children will enjoy activities like swimming and
yoga, as well as time in the resorts game room. The resort is located
within driving distance to both Busch Gardens theme park and historic
Colonial Williamsburg. The resort is also located close to both
Richmond and Norfolk, Virginia. The city of Williamsburg and the
Kingsmill Resort offer a family vacation full of relaxation, activity,
excitement and education.
