A family road trip will be an amazing experience! From short drives to cross-country getaways, road trips are one of the most flexible vacation options for families. Want to travel at your own pace? You can visit the Midwest to embark on your next road trip to a unique town, for example. From Iowa to South Dakota, see history come alive, dine on delicious food, and visit a state park! Or, see New England in style by road tripping to these family-friendly Maine towns, most of which are near each other. On the West Coast, taking a family road trip through Southern California is a great spring break option for kids interested in seeing beach towns. Families who find themselves in Hawaii can’t miss the chance to take a scenic drive along the Road To Hana. Most are surprised to discover you can do it in a half-day! 

If you’d prefer a nature-oriented option for your family road trip, consider these choices. A lot of people love taking a National Park road trip through Utah, which you can customize to your liking depending on how many days you’ll be staying. Pass through Zion, Bryce, Arches, and more on your adventure! To see the stunning fall colors in Colorado, consider taking one of these scenic drives through the fall foliage. East Coast families can also see some of the best fall foliage in New England on a scenic drive, boat cruise, or train ride. Nothing beats incredible views without having to move from your seat! Of course, some families may want to take an impromptu drive while they’re on vacation. For example, families staying in the Riviera Maya will love this list of exciting day trips from Playa Del Carmen or Cancun. All of them are accessible by car!
