Besides using one of their guidebooks to get
unique ideas for places to go, here are some other suggestions they offer.
- PLAN 2 – 4
ACTIVITIES within a one hour drive time
of each other. Base you choices on the season of year.
- Know
DIRECTIONS & PARKING INFORMATION before you leave. In addition to
the site's website, MapBlast.com or MapQuest.com are good places for
directions.
- If in doubt,
MAKE RESERVATIONS, especially for tours. Find
out what is SUGGESTED TO WEAR, especially for
factory or transportation tours. When in doubt, DRESS
DOWN and DRESS IN LAYERS.
-
For the road,
PACK SNACKS and
BEVERAGES. Also, PACK TRAVEL GAMES & TOYS and
plenty of TOILETRIES. Click on the graphics below for
some great suggestions like Travel Bingo, Magnetic Games, and Invisible Ink
Books.
- If your budget allows,
have the VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A TV/VCR unit.
- Don’t forget your
CAMERA(s)!
- PLAN
PICNICS along the way. (Allow time for
a rural/scenic route to take advantage of free, clean picnic facilities).
- Choose
FAMILY FRIENDLY LODGING.
- HISTORY
is easy, if you SNEAK IT IN!
Engage your kids by learning state facts (people,
places, history, etc) using these fun and educational activity books.

MUSEUMS that are
HANDS-ON.
- SOUVENIRS
are fun for kids to pick out and keep as a MEMORY
of your visit of favorite places. (They can even be practical, too!)
- After you create family
memories, make a FAMILY TREASURE CHEST and SCRAPBOOK
to preserve those memories. "Kids Love Travel Memories!" (available on
this site) is the perfect Travel Journal & Scrapbook Companion.
