Places to take your kids before they grow up

Here’s the list of Places to Take Your Kids Before They Grow Up, since you only have 18 summers with your kids before they head off to college. That’s not a lot of time for family vacations. Sooner or later, your child will be vacationing with their friends or significant others, and less with you.

It’s important to spend those 18 summers with your children wisely. Take them someplace that can create lasting memories, something that may have a positive impact on their lives. 

Here are few places in United States where you can travel by car or by plane. the U.S has plenty of amazing sights that will thrill children and teens.

1.The Grand Canyon (Arizona)

To say that the Grand Canyon is a sight to behold is an understatement. At 277 river miles long, about 18 miles wide, and a mile deep, this monumental crevasse will render even the most cynical of teenagers awestruck.

 

2. Yosemite National Park (California)

The park encompasses just under 748,000 acres of granite cliffs, groves of giant sequoias, waterfalls, streams, and diverse plant and animal life. Designated a national park in 1890, Yosemite National Park is the third oldest national park in the United States, though President Abraham Lincoln signed the Yosemite Grant in 1864, paving the way to a national park 26 years later.

3. Multi-state RV trips

Why stopping at one location if you can fit multiple adventures with your kids in one trip? If you rent and RV you can have a comfortable road trip while checking out all your favorite locations in one itinerary. You don’t have to stick to tight schedules and it’s also easier for children if they want to nap. 

Famous road trip itineraries include the Grand Circle Tour through 5 Utah National Parks, the Pacific Coast highway tour from Golden Gate Bridge to Olympic National Park .

4. Hawaii

Crystal blue water, pristine sandy beaches, rich culture, incredible food—what’s not to like about Hawaii? With six islands as major tourist magnets, Hawaii has something for everyone. Visit Oahu for surfing and pay your respects at Pearl Harbor. Check out the active volcano on the Big Island. Spend a lazy day in one of Maui’s black, red, and white sandy beaches.

5. Petrified Forest (Arizona)

Get ready to give your kids a lesson in geology if you visit the Petrified Forest. They’ll be bewildered to see what used to be logs transformed into rock over the course of millions of years. Incidentally, the Petrified Forest is about a three-hour drive from the Grand Canyon so if you’re driving through Arizona, this would be a good chance to hit both places during the same trip.
