What are the most popular places for family holidays, at Travel With Kids?

  • Caribbean Family Resorts- all-inclusive hassle-free getaways, with beautiful beaches, watersports, kids programs and infant care, and drinks and snacks on tap.
  • Walt Disney World- with four theme parks, two waterparks, Downtown Disney, and more, WDW is arguable the most popular family holiday spot on the globe
  • Orlando- beyond the Disney parks. Universal Orlando has two theme parks, three resorts, and CityWalk entertainment zone; SeaWorld has sister park, Discovery Cove, that recreates the Caribbean.
  • Florida Family Resorts- Amelia Island, Sanibel Island, the Emerald Coast--the sunshine state has many unique areas with family-friendly resorts.
  • New England Family Resorts- From classic lodges, to all-inclusive ranches, to a ski resort with a child care center and two teen zones, New England has terrific places for family holidays. (New York state is included here.)
  • Cruises with Kids- great kids programs and on-board activities; unpack just once, but sightsee in different ports; almost all-inclusive except for excursions and soda pops.
  • Cancun All-inclusives and Mayan Riviera All-inclusives: Mexico's Caribbean coast is super for family holidays, with many AI resorts at a good price point, and great activities in the area (coral reef, snorkeling lagoons, Mayan ruins, unique eco-theme parks.)
