Choose Your Family’s Fall Adventure: 4 Destinations, Endless Fun

You have a lot of choices when it comes to a family-friendly fall adventure. Maybe even too many. Choosing the right destination for a fall getaway can mean memories to last a lifetime, so take time to consider what each option has to offer before you start making plans. From mountains to islands and everything in between, these suggestions will satisfy every family’s interests.

Kauai, Hawai’i
Kauai, Hawai’i’s Garden Isle, is a great place to visit if you love beautiful beaches and outdoor adventure. Use a hotel like Sheraton Kauai Coconut Beach Resort as a landing point so you can take advantage of the resort’s authentic luau experience, arcade room and loaner bicycles to explore the island and visit the nearby town of Kapa’a. From there, plan adventures around the island, like swimming in Hanalei Bay, hiking in Waimea Canyon or tubing through the lush mountain landscape.

Iceland
Iceland is a bucket list destination for many, and it’s a great place to visit in fall if you want your children to witness the northern lights. Aurora season is underway, and Hotel Rangá is a great place to set up basecamp while you explore the country and wait for the northern lights to make an appearance. The hotel is located in Southern Iceland, in the town of Hella, and does wake up calls when the lights are visible so you won’t miss them. They also provide snow suits and Icelandic hot cocoa so you can brave the cold. During the day, explore the rugged landscape of Iceland.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming
If your family is looking to explore one of the country’s most celebrated national parks, head to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where you can see local wildlife and hike a wide range of trails at nearby Grand Tetons National Park. The Wyoming Inn is a great place to stay, with everything you’ll need for the rustic vibe of Wyoming and all the luxuries you want in a vacation. The property even offers a National Parks Pass Offer, giving national park pass holders a 20 percent discount with a stay of two nights or more.

Carlsbad, California
Sometimes all the fun and adventure a family is looking for can be had at a theme park. If that sounds like they way to make your family happy, consider the California beach town of Carlsbad. The town itself is home to LEGOLAND for the littles, and a short drive away are all the San Diego hot spots like Sesame Place, SeaWorld and Belmont Park. And, of course, you won’t want to skip San Diego Zoo or San Diego Zoo Safari Park while you are in the area. In between attractions, you can enjoy some quiet relaxation on the beach.
