It’s time for that tried-and-true tradition - the best family vacation! While time away is an opportunity for fun, relaxation, and togetherness, careful planning and necessary preparations should be done months ahead.

Yes, the family vacation. It's the source of some of our most potent and pleasing memories, both as kids and as parents. If fostering family fun is tops on your to-do list, there’s the assortment of family vacation destinations for children, students, parents and everyone.

1) Disneyland anywhere in the world is first and foremost. The thrill of this theme park is so endless and overwhelming. Your kids could spend weeks here and never experience a single moment of boredom.

2) Families with adventurous streak would love to mountain-climb, or hike and so will those who just like to play in the sand. Whale-watching, snorkeling, and beach frolicking are the most common get-aways but your adrenaline junkies may also enjoy scuba diving, surfing, or biking down a volcano's slope.

3) Thrill seekers may find riding down the mountain slope in an alpine coaster and alpine slide everything they need to drive away the stress of daily responsibilities at home and at work. Race down the elevated track with more than a mile of loops and hair-pin curves at speeds up to 30 mph against your family and friends. Just like your favorite roller coaster - but with refreshing green mountain scenery. Kids can participate in the fun, too!

4) You and your family can also soar above the tree tops with exciting cable rides. You can also take a scenic lift rides for a picturesque mountain view. Once you reach the top, you can hike along the groomed access roads, exploring the beautiful surroundings before enjoying the scenic ride back down.

5) Those who are animal lovers would enjoy the wildlife at the zoo.

6) Even in tough economic times most families are still counting on a summer getaway. But they may take trips closer to home, or even try a "staycation", enjoying and exploring their own town or region the way a tourist would.

Ah, the choices are so endlessly amusing. It just depends on the family’s passions, interests or hobbies. It's a big world anyway, explore where you want to play, relax, and tour. No matter where you take your family for a vacation - a fun and exciting mountain vacation, a Caribbean cruise to lie around in the summer sun, or even a simple trip to the back yard for "staycations" – it can be a very unforgettable experience that you and your kids will treasure forever.
