Home to the fourth-longest river in the world and the birthplace of American music, Mississippi is full of exciting and interesting things to see and do for the whole family. Boasting several stunning state parks, including Clarko, Holmes County, and Roosevelt, as well as beautiful beaches, dense forests, and some of the country’s bloodiest battlegrounds like the Vicksburg National Military Park, Mississippi is a fantastic destination for families with kids. Cool off in waterparks like Geyser Falls or Barnacle Bills, test a space shuttle engine at the NASA Infinity Science Center, or hit the beach along the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
