Announcing The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to the Best Family Destinations
(January 25, 2011) Planning a family vacation is exciting, but finding a destination that will appeal to multiple ages and interests can be a challenge. While the internet has become a primary tool for vacation planning, helping families decide when to go, how much to spend, what to do once they arrive, etc., it falls short in organizing information in one place that helps families decide where to go in the first place.
In The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to the Best Family Destinations experienced travel writer Kyle McCarthy, with the assistance of traveler reviews from one of the top family travel sites, FamilyTravelForum.com, takes readers through five U.S. Regions, Canada, and Mexico, uncovering the top 200 destinations for family travelers. Destination categories include:
- Top theme parks, family beaches, and other outdoor adventures
- The best road trips
- Most accessible national parks, eco-adventures, and recreation areas
- Rich cultural spots, including the best museum, event, or folk culture
- Can’t miss historical sites
- Budget-saving tips and fun facts to keep kids engaged
