Enjoy Southern hospitality on your family trip to Savannah, Georgia. This historic city offers something for every type of family traveler.
Where to Stay
Family travelers have lots of accommodation options in Savannah. JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District offers three distinct lodging options, perfect for multigenerational travelers. Situated in the heart of downtown Savannah, Perry Lane Hotel offers locally inspired, elegant accommodations. There are also many excellent Airbnb options if you prefer the amenities of a home.
What to Eat
Enjoy classic, family-style Southern fare at Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room. Meals are served at a communal table. Expect to see fried chicken, okra gumbo and biscuits on your plate. For travelers with a sweet tooth, a stop at Leopold’s Ice Cream is a must. Open since 1919, the shop serves up classic (vanilla) and creative (honey almond and cream) flavors. Leopold’s has a small outpost at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport as well.
Things to Do
History buffs have plenty to see and do in Savannah. Embark on a walking tour with operators like The Savannah Walking Tours and Enocha Edenfield Tours to learn more about the city’s history. Savannah Children’s Museum hosts hands-on experiences for young guests. Weather permitting, make the drive to nearby Tybee Island for some beach time. Ellis Square and Forsyth Park both offer play spaces for young travelers.

Sep 16, 2026On Location: Experience The Real-Life Settings of Your Favorite Films and TV Shows
Set-jetting is more than just a cute play on words. It’s a travel concept that lets you visit the real-life settings of some of your favorite movies and television shows. At one time you had to go someplace like Universal Studios in Hollywood to visit your favorite movie and television show sets. While you can still take studio tours (the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in London is the place to go if you are a diehard fan of the Harry Potter franchise), these days there are filming locations all over the world, and the tourism industry makes visiting them in person as easy as buying a plane ticket.
