Find Family Fun in a City You're Visiting

So you're visiting Seattle, or Phoenix, or Boston, and you want to know about family fun: no problem.

• GoCityKids
  For dozens of cities, GoCityKids is an excellent gateway to what's fun for kids: city tours, museums, outdoor adventures, playgrounds; advice on lodgings and restaurants too. GoCityKids also has calendars for family fun events.
  • "Kids-Eye View" of Family Fun
    If you're staying at an Embassy Suites hotel, "Kids Eye View" is a nice feature, with suggestions for "Best Family Outings", "Best Educational", "Best Dessert", and more, as selected by the kids of Embassy Suites' staff.

• New York City
  See NYC Toy Stores where the store is an experience, not just a place to shop; Top Things to Do with Teens; and more, at the link above.

• Also at Family Vacations, find seasonal family fun in many cities in pages on Halloween and Fourth of July.

• Insight Kids Maps
  Find family fun in Boston, NYC, and more cities, brought to you by the publishers who make Insight guidebooks (with great visuals): nifty city maps show you where top family attractions are.

• Guidebooks
  Finally: many guidebook companies now offer special "With Kids" books for major cities: that means an entire book dedicated to family fun in the city you're visiting. Guidebooks are a small investment, compared to the cost of a trip, yet can be worth their weight in gold when they provide a tip or help you get the most from your day.
