Oftentimes, vacations are designed for relaxation, adventures or doing absolutely nothing, and that’s totally fine. However, when it comes to children, vacations are rich opportunities where young and growing minds can still learn some valuable things while also having fun.
Here some vacation destination ideas for you to consider for your family vacation this year:
Boston, Massachusetts
While Boston is known to have some of the best seafood in the U.S., it is better known for its role in American history. 17th Century America comes alive with visits to nearby Plimoth Patuxet. Here you can catch a glimpse of the day-to-day life of some of the first settlers while also experiencing some of the culinary offerings of the period. Plimoth Patuxet is open from early April to late November.
Atlanta, Georgia
Aviation history can be experienced at Delta Flight Museum in Located in the immediate shadows of Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, Delta Flight Museum gives its visitors the opportunity to have an up-close look at historic aircraft, while also having the opportunity to tour the first Boeing 747-400 ever built, and having the chance to walk on its wing! As an added thrill to your visit, you’ll have the opportunity to “fly" a commercial jet via the only public-accessible Boeing 737 flight simulator in the United States.
Washington D.C.
The capital of the United States is a trove filled with historic treasures. Landmarks such as the U.S. Capitol, U.S. Treasury, The White House, and all points in between, are steeped in history. The Lincoln Memorial is a perfect example of Washington D.C.’s rich history. Since its opening in 1922, this grand edifice honors the life and legacy of the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. Since its dedication, the Lincoln Memorial has played a role in history and was the stage for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s delivery of his historic “I Have a Dream" speech.
Williamsburg, Virginia
As a place where the Declaration of Independence was proclaimed in 1776, it comes as no surprise that continues to treasure its significant place in U.S. history. Of particular interest is Colonial Williamsburg which is a 301-acre heritage site where visitors are transported back in time to a place that is frozen in an 18th-century theme. The experience is rich and the historic takeaways are significant. If you enjoy amusement park experiences with high adrenaline attractions, be sure to visit Busch Gardens Williamsburg. This 422-acre theme park has 10 distinctive “hamlets" with theming focused on European Villages. Consisting of 54 attractions including 9 rollercoasters and 3 water rides, Busch Gardens Williamsburg will provide your family the thrills that it needs for a memorable and educational vacation.
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Notable for its place in history as the location of President Abraham Lincoln’s famous Gettysburg Address, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania offers visitors unique offerings that will amaze and excite. You can start your day with a horseback tour of historic Gettysburg and then follow it with a Gettysburg Battlefield Reenactment. Conclude your day with a modern-day take on history, The 1863 Escape Room. This one-of-a-kind escape room experience requires participants to complete a Civil War focused mystery in an hour.
