hi there,

I think beaches and resorts are usually safe bets for a happy and relatively inexpensive vacation. If you look into vacation packages, you could take your family for an exotic vacation to Hawaii.

For instance, Honolulu has space for everyone, whether you prefer sunbathing, water sports, or just splashing around in the warm Pacific, although if you want a cheaper alternative, Key West is a less expensive option than Hawaii for a family vacation.

Family vacations are always tough to plan, because you definitely want to have a fabulous time, but at the same time, it's difficult to go just anywhere, since you want to save money. When we were kids, there were five of us, and we always managed to have fun just about anywhere we went, but I'm not going to just throw that at anyone, but that explanation, certainly, doesn't help with any suggestions. If you're looking forward to a 'proper' vacation, I would definitely look into family vacation packages to Florida or California; most of the time, you can get a good deal if you book it in advance. If you guys like outdoors adventures, I'd check out the Grand Canyon...take a road trip...take a road trip to any place...I love those! If you go to Cali, go to places like the Sequoia Forest or Yosemite, and most definitely, go to the beach. Certainly, don't miss that. If you have any more specific questions, please do ask, and someone will do their best to answer for you:) Enjoy your vacation!

Good Idea for going on vacations with family if you are planning to go in India then lots of places to wandering at cheapest rate with family in most popular places that is best and cheapest are Agra, Delhi, Rajasthan, kerela etc. and if you want to hire car in india then Avis India is best option that will provide you luxury car rental services in low rate.

If you're heading to Florida, there are plenty of places to go and things to see and do with the family aside from Disney. Great place but there are many other options.

Tampa Bay area has Busch Gardens which is an all day affair with shows, animals, rides, and lots of good food. Directly across from the gardens is Adventure Island for water sports on the giant slides, wave surfing, or just floating down the man-made river.

Lowry Park is one of the most well-known parks in the world because of their dedication to manatee rehabilitation. Again, lots to do with rides, animals, and aquarium. Downtown Tampa has the Florida Aquarium with thousands of species and interactive stuff for kids.

Big Cat Sanctuary is one of the best facilities for viewing, up-close, exotic wild cats. The cats have been rescued from or are retired show animals. They live at the sanctuary in natural habitat enclosures with only a tall fence between you and them. The sanctuary is all about the cats and their welfare. Great place for kids to see, and in some programs, touch these beauties.

St Petersburg/Clearwater for the beaches. Take the trolley and ride from one end of the beach areas to the other for a fun sightseeing adventure. Lots of water activities like para-sailing, skim boarding, and skiing. Not far from St Pete is DeSoto State Park with its old military buildings and cannon and miles, and miles of beach, picnic area, swimming pools, and pier.

There's plenty more places on the east coast along what is also known as the Space Coast that includes Melbourne. Museums, haunted lighthouses, or a tour of the space facility are all options.

This is just a small snippet of what you can do in Florida. Come on down for the best of times!

Canada will be a good destination for family trip. Wonderful and exotic places to visit like Niagara Fall, Canadian Rockies, CN Tower, museums and parks. It will be a great fun to visit parks and museums with kids.
