Looking for east coast family vacation ideas? If so, then you have
come to right place, since the east coast of the United States has so
much to offer. Whether its spending time on a great beach, enjoying
beautiful scenery, visiting one of the many great theme parks or reliving
some history of our nation's past, you are bound to have a great family
vacation.
While probably no one will agree on the top attractions or best vacation destinations on the east coast, here are
some vacation ideas that should be helpful.
Florida is a favorite vacation spot for many visiting the east coast, and features some of the
finest beaches in the world. In fact, you can easily spend some great time with your family
relaxing and playing on the beaches and while you are there, take a tour of the Kennedy Space
Center. It is located about 45 miles east of Orlando just north of Cocoa Beach. Also, Orlando is
a great family vacation destination and is home to many great family theme parks like Disney
World, Sea World, and Universal Studios.
Washington, DC offers many different family vacation options that can be very educational and
great fun at the same time. Take a tour of our nation's capitol and explore many of the sites and
monuments in the area. There are many fully guided and narrated tours that will allow you to see a
great deal in just one day. A visit to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum is an
unforgettable experience for both young and old alike, and not to be missed if your schedule
allows for it.
