Family Weekend Getaway

Things to Do in Kingman, AZ
Having a pleasant getaway with kids means keeping them busy and entertained. Fortunately, there is a lot of family-oriented entertainment all over the country.
Almost every large American metropolitan center has a zoo. All of them bear witness to America's love of animals, both native and exotic.
Family weekend getaways never needed to be far or fancy. Just a change of pace, a packed cooler, and the open road. I remember the sound of laughter from the backseat, the quiet joy of everyone waking up under the same roof, and thinking, “This is what we’ll remember—not the schedule, but the feeling.”
What stayed with me were the little things: skipping rocks by the lake, board games by lamplight, breakfast in a cozy cabin with messy hair and sleepy smiles. We wandered through forests and farm towns, along beaches and hiking trails, and every moment felt like a stitch in something we were building together—something soft and lasting.
Whether you’re dreaming of cabin weekends, beach picnics, mountain towns, or simple road trips full of snacks and surprises, these guides gather the family getaways that mattered most—easy, heartfelt, and stitched together by love, not plans.
