Family City Breaks: How to Make Them Fun
When you are on a budget, traveling can become an exercise in creativity. Plan your family getaway strategically so that you can take advantage of low-cost activities. Here are some ways to get everyone involved in the fun.
Who says that you have to go far away to have fun? Even if you spend time at the beach, choose one that is in a city or close to a nearby city with lots to do. Family staycations can offer you a road trip and fun within your own area.
Before choosing this mini-vacation, hold a family meeting. Find out what types of activities everyone likes. This is the key to finding a place that will have enough to please the entire family. Make a list to help you decide which cities hold it all.
Consider transportation. Many major cities have subways or some form of mass transit to get around. If your attractions are far between and you have little ones, consider a stroller or the ease of transporting that stroller on and off of buses. A walking tour may work for you.
Here are some ideas of fun things to do that can impress your family.
