Florida is often referred to as €America's playground', so it is an obvious choice for a memorable family holiday. There are so many different attractions set up specifically with families in mind, as well as the perennial sunshine and warmth - this is a dynamite holiday just waiting to happen! The icing on the cake is that since it is such a popular destination for adults travelling with kids, it is easy to find a Florida family hotel that ticks all the boxes regarding location, amenities and availability.

Awesome Orlando

With its range of activities and theme parks, many families point their holiday compass in the direction of Orlando. In the northern part of the state, Orlando is home to Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studios Orlando and Discovery Cove. The wonderful part of visiting these theme parks is that you can often arrange packages with your Florida family hotel that include tickets and trips to your favoured parks.

Fort Lauderdale Outdoors Fun

Fort Lauderdale in the south of the state is a year-round outdoor wonderland for holidaymakers. Your Florida family hotel is likely to have plenty of water sports equipment available for you to use, but there is no shortage elsewhere throughout the area either. Get your vitamin D quota each day out in the glorious Florida sunshine with boogie boarding, surfing, snorkelling, fishing, glass bottom boat cruises and so much more.

In addition to the abundance of sporting and outdoors activities, there are plenty of museums and educational experiences within the area. Some of the highlights include: the Museum of Discovery and Science with plenty of hands on experiments and exhibitions as well as an IMAX theatre; the Buehler Planetarium, which is one of the best in the United States and introduces kids and adults to the celestial wonders in the night sky; and Native Village, where you can cuddle a baby alligator and learn all about local Native American culture.

Memories in Miami

Miami is Florida's largest city and is positively brimming with sightseeing and activities for visitors. From your Florida family hotel you can visit a number of Miami based family attractions that everyone will enjoy. Get to know the land and sea around Miami with a cruise on the Duck Tour, an amphibious vehicle. At South Beach the Miami Seaquarium offers families the chance to meet some of the local marine and bird life. On the beach itself there is plenty of sun and sand based fun to be had, and world-class shopping and celebrity spotting is best done at Ocean Drive.

Cruising the Everglades

Just outside of Miami is the 1.5 million acre Everglades - a true adventure for kids and adults. The only way to see the River of Grass is with a thrilling airboat ride that glides through the Everglades at up to 35 mph. See endangered species and this remarkable, rare tropical ecosystem in its fully glory on a day trip from Miami.

Florida is a wonderful destination for a family holiday and you will leave with fond long lasting memories. Regardless of which part of the Sunshine State you choose to visit, there is plenty of fun in store for you.
