When going on vacation with your
family, it is hard to keep everybody happy! Often parents go on
vacations they hate to keep the kids happy. Other people choose to go to
quiet places with little for children to do and they become bored very
easily. This article will tell you some of the best vacations to take
with children, and also list some important things to remember when
going on a family vacation.
Best Vacations with Children
1. Orlando
Orlando has something for everyone in the family. You can keep the kids happy with visits to Disneyland and theme parks. Sports fans can take in a game or two of baseball, basketball, golf, ice skating and even cycling depending on the time of year you head off to Orlando. Orlando also knows how to celebrate Christmas, as they put on huge celebrations every year. As many families visit Orlando, many of the hotels have kids’ clubs and waterslides to keep the children happy, as well as simulated beach pools and artificial lakes for the parents. Discovery Cove is also a popular theme park that is a simulation of a Caribbean island. You can swim with dolphins, swim under a waterfall and see many colorful fish.

7 Tips for Taking a Vacation with Children
Tip 1: If going on a road trip, take along some games for the kids to play in the back. Even simple games like ‘Eye Spy’ can keep the kids entertained for hours. Another simple thing to do is get your children to write about all the things that they have seen and done each day.

Tip 2: Leave early in the
morning (2-3am) on road trips. Usually, the kids will sleep through to 8
or 9am and you will be a lot closer to your destination without them
even being aware of it!
Tip 3: Make sure you kids have
their seat belts on during road trips! A lot of kids take them off and
their parents are unaware of it.
Tip 4: Make sure there is a good
balance between stuff that is fun for the kids and quiet times for the
parents. If the kids start complaining, remind them of the great things
you will be doing later.
Tip 5: Tell your children exactly what and when you are going to do things, but be flexible if need be.
Tip 6: If your kids are being intolerable, threaten not to do something they are looking forward to. This almost never fails!
Tip 7: Ban mobile phones and handheld gaming devices (Nintendo DS and PSP’s) for a couple of days to connect with your family.
