The definition of relaxation, the Canary Islands serve as one of Spain’s most idyllic relaxation destinations. Take your family on a cable car ride up to the top of Mount Teide, the country’s highest peak. Down below, ride a camel, swim in turquoise seas and enjoy the constant springtime weather.

Epcot, Orlando
Orlando is one of the USA’s pride and joys when it comes to family travel. Rife with amusement parks, resorts, and fun, you can’t go wrong here. See Disney World, where Mickey Mouse will greet you in the Magic Kingdom, or check out Universal Orlando’s two theme parks, three resorts, and this summer’s grand opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

New York City
While New York can certainly get expensive whether you’re traveling with your family or not, there are great ways to see the Big Apple with your children without breaking the bank. See family-friendly Broadway shows, take a tour of the FAO Schwarz Toy Store, and check out free admission days to the Children’s Museum. When the weather is on your side, spend time in Rockefeller Center or Coney Island.

Paphos Fort, Cyprus
Mediterranean paradise doesn’t get much better than this. Vacationing in Cyprus with your family will introduce you to the hospitable people and rich sources of activities that are fun for people of all ages. Hike the hillside path of the Troodos Mountains, or unwind on sandy beaches. For active kids, try the Marine Park and Water World in Ayia Napa, or go camel riding nearby.

Arizona
The natural wonders of Arizona have both families and outdoor enthusiasts coming back for more each year. Take your family on a mule ride or camping trip through the Grand Canyon, hike through Prescott National Forest, or learn about the Navajo culture by rafting through the Colorado River. Interested in a little relaxation? Visit a family-friendly spa in Sedona.

Luxor Temple, Egypt
Let your children experience the pyramids, the beach, and ancient archaeological sites all in one trip. Egypt offers the history of the Nile Valley, archaeology collections in Cairo, and the site of ancient Thebes in Luxor.
