The beginning of the school season is right around the corner but your family has not been on vacation yet. With school shopping on the horizon, you don’t have to break the bank to have fun! Here are several affordable vacation ideas perfect for the fam just before heading back to school.
A simple road trip can be a lot of fun. Hotels in larger US cities are normally cheaper on the weekend but a resort can offer better deals during the week.
Trips to amusement parks and attractions can be costly. Be sure to research tourist websites and apps like Groupon for great deals.
Camping can be a fun adventure where the family can be at one with nature. And most importantly, you won’t have to shell out a lot of cash. All you’ll need are the bare necessities.
State and national parks are educational, fun and packed with interesting things to do with the kids. Some parks offer packaged deals that include food and attractions for around $50 per family, depending on the size of the family.
Cruises are always fun. Once you’ve paid for the cruise, meals, entertainment and lodging are covered. Most cruiselines also offer babysitting services for kids.
All-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean are the best. There are tons of activities, food, entertainment and attractions to enjoy for no additional charge. Some resorts even offer “kids stay and eat for free” packages.
Disney is always a perfect place to take the fam during the summer. It may take some planning to get the best deals but it’s definitely worth it. Disney even offers a free dining plan that begins at the end of August.
