Taking trips domestically with children can be a great way to inject some fun into your environment, help your kids see more of the country, and uncover new experiences. But family travel, especially with younger children, isn’t always easy, and it can have its own complexities compared to solo or couple travel.
If you are looking for fun new ways to engage your family and have amazing experiences, these tips can help you to do just that.
Motorhome Travel
The excitement of traveling in and sleeping in one vehicle can be alluring to young kids and make life much easier for parents. When considering a motorhome, it’s important to choose one that is spacious enough for your family, has the necessary amenities, and is easy to drive. Having all the things your kids need in your vehicle with no packing and unpacking, being able to take food and snacks to appease even the fussiest of eaters, and, more importantly, having a toilet at hand when you need it can make your travel much more fun and enjoyable. Booking a motorhome hire and hitting the road to explore can be great for the whole family, regardless of what type of experience you’re looking for.
Caravan Parks
Caravan holidays can be a perfect choice if you prefer a stationary vacation and don’t want to be constantly on the move. While Haven is a well-known company for holiday parks, it’s important to note that not all resorts are like a Haven Park. These parks are ideal for those seeking a more immersive experience and amenities for entertaining kids. However, there are also parks with fewer frills and in different locations that cater to other needs. For instance, you can find holiday parks in the Lake District that are perfect for those seeking a quieter experience or a base for active holidays. The key is to research the amenities and location to find the right fit for you and your family.
All-Inclusive Trips
All-inclusive resorts within the UK aren’t a common thing, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. They simply look different from all-inclusive options abroad. In the UK, all-inclusive typically means that your accommodation, meals, and a range of activities and amenities are included in one price. This can be a great option for families, as it means you can rest assured that everything you want and need for your family is taken care of. Companies like Potters Resorts and Butlins offer options for all-inclusive breaks that include extras to accommodate visitors (Potters Resorts is adult-only, but it’s an example of what is available within the UK).
However, there are a range of hotels across the country that offer all-inclusive stays incorporating meals and drinks in a location that allows you to explore the local area, i.e., The Lake District, so not on a resort. The reason these are beneficial for families is that entertainment can be included as standard, and you don’t need to worry about food and drink options as it’s included for the duration of your stay.
