The Netherlands for cycling
If you and your family are an active lot, then the Netherlands makes a great choice. Known for being one of the cycling capitals of the world, its bike-friendly cities and flat countryside make it the perfect destination to get around on two wheels. Cycling through the Netherlands will take you past the traditional windmills and tulips the country is famous for. But that’s not all; the Netherlands has many things to do with kids, including museums, zoos, and amusement parks.
Orlando, the USA for thrilling amusement parks and sandy beaches
Orlando is the ultimate playground: Disney World, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, the Kennedy Space Center, and LEGO Land are all on your doorstep and offer non-stop fun for all the family. There are also loads of free activities to do with children, such as Lake Eola, splash pads, and outdoor cinemas. If your kids love making sandcastles and splashing about in the sea, Orlando’s beaches are some of the best in the world: be sure to check out New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach.
Whistler, Canada for kid-friendly snow sports
Spring break is a great opportunity to go skiing and snowboarding, and Whistler is one of the best places to do just that. There are many options for kids’ skiing lessons, from 1-day to 5-day adventure camps, and children under the age of six always ski and ride for free at Whistler Blackcomb, making it more affordable too. When they get bored of being on the slopes, there’s plenty of other fun activities for them to take part in, including zip-lining, ice skating, the weekly Whistler Fire and Ice Show, and The Core climbing gym.
