We’re giving a vacation to our kids for Christmas this year and we can’t decide what to do. Please seed us with ideas. What are your favorite kid-friendly vacation activities? Kids all below 10yo
We’d like to stay on the east coast of the US, I think. Within a day’s drive or maybe a train ride.
Why go there when you can visit Wisconsin for shittier maple syrup, less snow, and uhhhh CHEESE!
Seriously it’s known for cheese because it’s the only state in the US that takes cheesemaking seriously and can expertly & faithfully replicate most famous cheeses throughout the world.
I’m not who you were talking to but Toronto Island and Scarborough Bluffs are both neat places though I’ve only been in the summer. The immersive Van Gogh exhibit was pretty cool and I’d think kids would like it. Think it was like 45 minutes or so (social distancing and limited occupants were enforced when I went). I haven’t been but there are community skating rinks here and there and sometimes there’s free gear for people to use if they don’t have their own.
I hate to say it but if you’re near to DC it can be a good trip for kids. Lots of museums, some of them free, and a ton of public parks and memorials. Of course a lot of them are going to be jerking off the founding fathers and whitewashing history, but it might be a good chance to teach your kids about the other side of our nation’s history. But there is enough stuff to do that you could probably completely avoid that kind of stuff all together. I can give a few more specific suggestions if you end up wanting to go there, lmk
