Now is the time to plan a daycation.

From picnics in open spaces to stepping back in time with visits to historical sites, nature excursions to walking and driving tours, small towns offer options for off-the-beaten path getaways. All provide plenty of relaxation and outdoor adventures, with fewer crowds and room to wander.

But, planning trips can be so frustrating … especially when your kids are bored and begging for ideas on something fun to do … away from the backyard! “Traveling with kids shouldn’t be so hard. We wanted to make family trips easy so, we researched and wrote books about years of experiences,” says Family Travel Mom, Michele Z.  KIDS LOVE TRAVEL GUIDES include great hints on what kids like best.

• Kids can discover places to race and fly over giant sand dunes or just dip your toes in the water.  Watch a butterfly form before your eyes or learn the secrets of a perfect children’s garden.

• Another weekend you’ll discover where ponies swim and dolphins dance, or dig into archaeology and living history. Search for real treasure, pirates, castles and lost civilizations. Cross prairies, romp around forts, or venture on journeys of Indians and explorers.

• And what about the wonders of nature – the roar of the falls, fossils, fish ladders or pine forests.  Rent a boat to traverse a new river or smile at the antics of baby animals in zoos.

The books provide all the details a family needs to know (i.e. maps, directions, websites, prices, reviews) to save lots of time. PLUS:

• The ACTIVITY INDEX is helpful. Choose to explore Animals & Farms, Outdoor Exploring, or Historical sites that often have walking trails and gardens.
• Limited budget, don’t worry – each book finds lots of places to visit for little or no charge!
• Packed full of over 500 places designed for children between the ages of 2-15. Updated regularly.
• Quick look Favorites in each region.
• Tried & true Suggested Lodging & Dining that appeal to kids. Often we mention candy shops & Mom & Pop ice cream shops around the corner from major attractions.

The series offers 16 regional travel guides: Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, The Carolinas, Virginia, Wisconsin, I-75 & I-95
