Top destinations for holidays with kids, a complicated challenge for families with kids. Let’s see some places that are good for kids. All eyes will be on Japan in 2020 when the Land of the Rising Sun hosts the Olympics. The country has already added new tourism infrastructure, but the crowds haven’t arrived yet, making 2019 the perfect time to visit. And although it may take a little extra effort to get here, it’s a vacation guaranteed to please the kids. In a typical day in Tokyo, you can watch a musical robot show, sample sushi and real ramen, visit the home of anime at Studio Ghibli and sip tea while cuddling hedgehogs (seriously, we’re not sure how we’ll get our kids to leave once they get there).
San Diego, California – With its near-perfect year-round climate, world-class zoo, miles of beach, and cute Old Town, San Diego is loaded with personality. Take a scenic cruise around San Diego Bay before you enjoy some fresh Pacific seafood for dinner. The Hotel Del Coronado is an iconic resort that caters to kids, but we’ve also rounded up another half-dozen kid-friendly hotels in this coastal California town.
Bophut, just 10 miles north of Koh Samui’s main town Chaweng, is perfect for families. The water is calm and shallow. The sand is beautiful with a touch of coarseness that makes cleaning-off super easy. Nearby Fisherman’s Village is filled with restaurants and small shops. Koh Samui has so many beautiful beaches it’s hard to pick the best and some will say that Choeng Mon or Chaweng are just as good for families – both are a short taxi ride away.
If your family goes wild for all things Old West, this authentic (recently revamped) dude ranch in Tucson will fit the bill. Start your day with an early morning gallop through the hills of the Sonoran Desert, followed by a blueberry pancake breakfast amongst the cacti. The ranch has a jam-packed schedule of weekly outdoors activities such as fishing on Lake Corchran, guided hikes in Saguaro National Park, mountain biking, and mountain jeep adventures. Wind down with a killer, fireside cowboy-style barbecue (S’mores, cornbread, ribs) and live music. Take advantage of the Kids Stay Free package, from June 1 through Sept 3, allowing kids to eat three meals a day and attend camp for free when they share a room with their parents. From $500 a night.
