Winter school vacation is just around the corner for many children throughout the United States. This week long break is a great time to relax and spend time with the family. However, kids usually only like to “relax” for a couple of hours during their school vacation and then they are ready to be entertained again. So you may be asking yourself, “How can I keep the kids busy this school vacation?”

Don’t let your kids waste their school vacation sitting in front of the TV or playing video games. One of the best ways to entertain your children and expand their minds is to engage them in sightseeing activities or day trips. While a full week getaway may be too costly this year, sightseeing activities provide a way to connect with your kids and learn something new. Typically these activities range in duration from a couple of hours to a full day. They allow your family to explore without having to fork out lots of cash for a costly hotel.

Sightseeing tours are available in every major city throughout the United States. For example, on the west coast there are day trips to Disneyland, Legoland, Hollywood, and Yosemite National Park. East coast trips could include Trolley Tours, Helicopter Tours, Duck Tours, or even Ghost Tours. Florida also provides a great opportunity for sightseeing with trips to the Kennedy Space Center, Everglades Safaris, Bay Cruises, and Disneyworld. If you are lucky enough to make it to Hawaii, definitely check out the Polynesian Cultural Center, Atlantis Submarine Tour, or the Kona Historic Tour.

Make this school vacation one to remember for you and the kids!
