Traveling with your whole family can be a difficult thing to plan. There are a lot of factors to take into consideration if you want everyone to have a good time. But choosing the right destination is undoubtedly the most important decision of all. Here are some of the best family vacation spots to choose from.



1. When you talk about family vacations, you pretty much have to talk about Disney World in central Florida. If your family hasn't been there yet, then you really need to go soon. Disney World offers so much entertainment value for a family that it's hard to almost know where to start. There are four giant theme parks including the Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, MGM studios, and Animal Kingdom. Besides that, there are also two large water parks, Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. All of this fun family entertainment is open year-round too.

2. If a tropical vacation is what you had in mind, consider the Atlantis Resort located on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. There is plenty here to keep everyone in the family involved and having fun. For instance, it has 11 swimming pools with water slides including the Mayan Drop that plunges six stories down into the water. Children under 12 will enjoy the Discovery Channel Camp that teaches about sea life, arts and crafts, and provides guided expeditions. Adults can enjoy golfing, snorkeling, and other outdoor activities.

3. If you would rather enjoy the snow, then be sure to visit Snowbird Resort in Snowbird Utah. Of course, the whole family can enjoy great skiing, and kids under 12 can even ski free. But there is a whole range of other snow related activities including snowshoeing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, ice skating, and snow tubing. And for adults the resort also offers a spa and fitness club.

4. For a family vacation that is a little out of the ordinary try the Treesort in Takilna, Oregon. The Treesort features a Swiss Family Robinson themed vacation that includes swinging bridges, forts, wooden swings, and plenty of climbing fun. And then there the 160 ft. long zip-line that is also a popular attraction. And of course you can always enjoy the swimming pool, and the campsite area as well.

5. If you want to combine both fun activities and education in the same vacation consider Williamsburg, Virginia. At the Kingsmill resort you are well within driving distance of both Busch Gardens and historic Colonial Williamsburg. In addition, you are also close to both Richmond and Norfolk, Virginia. With all of that entertainment and historical value close at hand, there is plenty to keep everyone in the family active and having fun. And the resort itself offers both golf and tennis courses as well as a marina.

Any of these five family vacation spots would be a great choice for your next getaway. Why not start making your plans right away?
