Family Vacation Planning Tips

For some of us, the term ‘planning’ ignites our excitement for an upcoming adventure. For the rest of us, the idea of planning is a process to be resisted, or a process we see as a burden. Despite which category you fall into, we all know that planning a family vacation can often grow tedious – with dozens of internet tabs littering your display screen, tabs on various guidebooks, and illegible mock itineraries scribbled along as you begin to decipher and map out each of your destination attraction locations. As exhilarating as this process may be for some travelers, most of us can barely find the time to book our flights – let alone prepare all the activities prior to taking advantage of those vacation days. Here are some of our recommendations for planning a family vacation: Booking the hotel and airfare is the easy part, of travel planning – it’s building out your activities schedule that can often take the most time. With our Go City Cards, the process is simple! Start by exploring the offered attractions in your destination city. Consider each of your family member’s interests as you browse, and select activities that all of you can enjoy. Feeling daring? Include attractions that are outside of your comfort zone! Non-sports fans can discover an appreciation for Red Sox Nation on the Fenway Park Tour in Boston; art-lovers can get a rush on the SHARK Speedboat Ride in New York; museum junkies might just catch a wave with Beach Gear Rentals in Oahu.
