Family Vacations in Florida

I’ve planned a few sunny family trips to Florida, and if you're thinking about your next getaway with the kids, you’re in for a treat. These top family vacation spots in Florida combine theme parks, beaches, and outdoor fun that always keep everyone smiling—trust me, I’ve been there.

Highlights I Think You’ll Love:

• Orlando – This one’s a no-brainer. I’ve taken my kids to Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando, and they still talk about it. You’ll find more kid-friendly attractions here than you can fit into one trip—but that just gives you an excuse to come back.
• Destin – I was blown away by the Emerald Coast beaches. If you want soft sand, dolphin cruises, and fun extras like sandcastle lessons, this spot is perfect. The resorts here are super family-friendly, too.
• Tampa Bay Area – I loved mixing beach days with thrill rides at Busch Gardens and indoor fun at places like Glazer Children’s Museum and The Florida Aquarium. You’ll have no trouble keeping the kids busy here.
• Florida Keys – If your family loves adventure, this is the place. I’ve gone snorkeling, kayaking, and spotted dolphins—all while enjoying a relaxing island vibe. You’ll appreciate the laid-back pace, and so will your kids.
• St. Augustine – I didn’t expect my kids to love history, but they were hooked after a visit to pirate museums and historic forts. Add in some beach time, and you’ve got a perfect combo of learning and fun.
