Traveling with kids is fun and exciting, and seeing their faces light up with new experiences is always worth the time. Sometimes it’s hard to know where to take them – whether the destination will be safe, convenient or affordable enough for you and your family, or if the vibe of the area is conducive to children. Babysafetravel.com has put together a top ten list of the best places to bring your little ones.
Here are a few we like. We tested flight prices from New York and Los Angeles in the first week of October to give you an idea of what it may cost. Flights are based on round-trip flights for families of four.
Cape Cod: Filled with marine life, history and beautiful New England nature, Cape Cod is the quintessential family destination in the Northeast.
