When it comes to taking your little kids on vacation, there are plenty of options. Naturally, Disney comes top of the list - it’s pretty much the dream of every child aged under ten to get to stand next to Mickey Mouse and ask for his autograph. But as they get older, kids are a whole lot less easy to please. During those tricky teen years, it can be hard to know what trips your kids may like to go on. Here are a few ideas...

A Camping Trip

One of the best possible vacations is a camping trip. Whether you decide to explore a place that’s close to home or you go further afield, camping gives you a deeper understanding of nature and of the world in which we live. There are campsites you can go to which are run by companies and that provide facilities like bathrooms and even restaurants, but if you really want to rough it, you could go to a national park and pitch your tent. You could even rent an RV for a week. The best thing about camping is that you can easily alleviate any teenage boredom by packing up and moving on to another place - you’re in complete control of your trip.

A Fishing Trip

Many parents find that the conversations they have with their kids during fishing trips are some of the best ever - and a lot of the time, after you take one fishing trip, they end up becoming a family tradition. There are few things better than getting back to nature on the open waters. If you like the idea of a fishing trip but you don’t really know where to start, a company like Side Bet Sport Fishing will be able to help you out by providing you with a boat and taking you out to where the fishing is best, along with having great quality equipment that you can use, and that you can learn how to use if you’ve never been fishing before. There’s something soothing about the rocking of the waves that will really bring you and your family closer together.

A Music Festival

There are few things that are more enjoyable than a music festival. Of course there are great bands and musicians on all day - if your knees start to complain after a few hours, take a fold-up stool - but more than that, festivals are hubs of creativity and fun. There are stalls of people selling art, clothing and jewelry, there are different cuisines from all over the world, and there are countless things that you can enjoy. A lot of music festivals provide over night camping, so pack up your tent, your reusable water bottles, your waterproof jacket and your sunscreen, and take your family along to enjoy the whole experience. Make sure that you pick a festival with a family friendly atmosphere - even if you love rock music, you probably won’t want to take your twelve year old to a heavy metal festival just yet.

Vacations with your kids can involve excitement, travel, and plenty of fun - these ideas should provide you with some incredible trips!
