With spring break over, time to start thinking about your family’s summer vacation. Many families take the opportunity to head out on a vacay in the summer to create some incredible memories. After all, the kids are off of school, the weather is warm, and there are plenty of destinations out there that are “bucket-list” worthy (and budget-friendly, too). Below are 5 trip ideas for the perfect family vacation in 2023.
1. Head Out To Hershey, Pennsylvania
From Hersheypark, which offers waterpark and roller coaster fun to Hershey’s Chocolate World, and the Hershey Story Museum; there’s plenty to see and do in the city that’s known as the “Sweetest Place On Earth”. Of course, this destination is famous for its chocolate-themed attractions; however, nature lovers can enjoy Hershey Gardens (their butterfly house is a must-see), as well as Zoo America, where your kids can learn more about animals and bird life in both their outdoor and indoor exhibits.
2. Swing Into San Diego, California
Believe it or not, San Diego has become a favorite destination spot for many family vacations. SeaWorld provides one of the best roller coasters in the United States, sending both parents and kids on a thrilling ride with speeds of over 60 miles/hour. There’s also the San Diego Zoo to visit, and a 41-minute drive to Carlsbad will offer you and the fam jam an opportunity to check out Legoland California. The Lego theme park not only showcases all the fun things you can do with those well-known blocks, but it also offers rides, shows, and other fun attractions.
3. Let Loose In Las Vegas, Nevada!
What happens in Vegas doesn’t always have to stay in Vegas! This spot is known as a “party town” for girls’ weekends and bachelor parties; however, there is plenty of family fun that can be had there, too! With incredible hotel rates and packages, there are numerous kid-friendly attractions and plenty of dining options that will keep both parents and children entertained and well-fed. From Meow’s Wolf Omega, which can be explained as a part amusement park, part escape room, and part art exhibit to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area (a little off the beaten path), the M&M store, and much more, consider Las Vegas for your family destination point in 2023 for something a little different.
4. Never A Dull Moment In Nassau, Bahamas
For families that love ocean views and white sand, there are a number of budget-friendly resorts to consider in the Bahamas. Many offer incredible pools, waterparks, kids club activities, and beachside fun. Baha Bay in Nassau features over 20 waterslides, a wave pool, as well as a surf simulator. Instead of dragging the kids out of the hotel room each day and driving to attraction after attraction, everything here is located on the resort.
5. Optimal Family Fun In Orlando, Florida
Disney World, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, Legoland, and everything in between, there is a lot to see and do in Orlando.
