Each year I start the search for unique family vacation ideas…and inevitably, I always end up being reeled into why Disney is the most MAGICAL place on the earth for kids. And while I don’t disagree and absolutely LOVE Disney, I also know we’ve been twice now in five years and it’s time to try something new. I like to find the locations that aren’t super popular, maybe a little off the beaten path that won’t be so touristy, so today I wanted to give you some non-Disney family vacation ideas in hopes that I can assist you in planning your late summer vacation or get prepared for vacation next year!

25 Family Vacation Ideas

I polled a community mom group I’m in online and they had tons of great ideas. I can’t say I’ve been to all of them, but they came highly recommended from local mothers! Let’s see what they had to say!

  1. Captiva Island, Florida
  2. Hilton Head, North Carolina
  3. Gatlinburg, Tennessee
  4. San Antonio, Texas
  5. Cape May, New Jersey
  6. Singer Island, Florida
  7. Savannah, Georgia / Tybee Island, GA
  8. Clearwater, Florida
  9. San Diego, California
  10. Ocean City, Maryland
  11. Yellowstone
  12. Outer Banks
  13. Destin, Florida
  14. Washington D.C.
  15. San Francisco, California
  16. Hershey, Pennslyvania
  17. Boston, MA
  18. Las Vegas, Nevada
  19. Salt Lake City, Utah
  20. Mackinac Island, Michigan
  21. Lake Cumberland, Kentucky
  22. Adirondacks, New York
  23. Sedona, Arizona
  24. New River Gorge, West Virginia

My personal favorites and places I’ve been and highly recommend include: Gatlinburg, TN, Clearwater, FL, San Diega, CA, Washington D.C., San Francisco, CA, Salt Lake City, UT, Lake Cumberland, KY, Sedona, AZ, and New River Gorge, WV. All of these place give me fond memories and I highly recommend!

I hope some of these suggestions give you some fun ideas for places to consider for you and your family. Obviously, this list is limited to the continental United States and is meant to be a list for all age groups.
