A great family getaway is a national park. There are many ways to enjoy national parks these days. Camping in the park is usually the most cost effective and can make for some great stories. If you are not one for camping, there are usually nice cabins or hotels located within or near a national park. Most national parks have one thing in common: natural beauty. The breathtaking vistas and natural landscapes make for amazing hikes or drives. The entrance fee to a national park can be for a day or you can purchase one that will last the entire year. In the summer of 2009, there have been a number of weekends where the entrance fee has been waived.
Another great family vacation is to a theme park. There are theme parks in various parts of the United States. Depending on the state, you can purchase a state or city activity pass that allows you cheaper entrance into major attractions or parks. It might be good for multiple entrances into a park. There are usually on site hotels, but cheaper options are always available around the area. While in the area, there are usually great museums and parks that are free for families to enjoy.
A cruise might be another good option. There are cruises that cater to families and have activities on board for every age and interest. Meals are included and it is a fun way to go around and see various parts of the world, as well as entertain the family with fun activities and good food. If you get scuba certified, often you can scuba or snorkel at some of the areas that you visit with your family.
Family vacations are great times and great fun for every member. Take the time to research and decide where you are going to go and visit. Set a budget and remember to take a camera and buy some great souvenirs. If money is tight, buy some toys or other objects that match the place you are visiting and give them to your children as a gift after you visit. They will think it is from the place you went and will remember it.
