Vacations for some families are planned to be relaxing or even just filled with amusement park visits. But to create long-lasting memories and unforgettable experiences, families should plan outside of the box. There are so many unique places and adventures to be had around the country to provide the most exciting family vacation possible.
Sailing
Depending on your location and budget, head to the nearest oceanic coast for a sailing experience. The coast of Maine has some of the best opportunities for exploration. The coast is over 2,000 miles long, with jagged rocks and lumbering pines. As an added bonus, many companies provide historic boats for the adventure.
Kayaking
Another way to get on the water for adventure is through kayaking. Your family can travel to the Colorado River for some of the best kayaking experiences in the country. The red rock canyon walls and desert skies beg to be explored.
Hiking
Driving along scenic highways can be fun for parents, but anxious children will soon grow bored. Get out of the car explore some of these sites by foot. The California Redwoods are perfect for exploration, with giant trees in over 17,000 acres of forest.
