Affordable Family Fun in the USA
When it comes to getting more bang for your buck family trips abroad can be a real eye-opener. Coupled with a great range of all inclusive cheap holidays, there’s never been a better time to book a family trip state-side.
Where to go?
For excellent value-for-money accommodation one of the best places to look is in Florida. Holidays in Orlando offer some of the best value for money and family friendly entertainment imaginable.
With the airline market getting more and more competitive, there are some excellent value flights across the Atlantic. Florida is known for being sunny all year round, with mild winters and tropical hot summers. Try and avoid visiting in September though, where the cyclone season is at its peak and more severe weather conditions may be experienced.
Where to stay?
Resorts are now one of the most affordable ways to go abroad as a family, with package deals offering a range of excellent cheap holidays to choose from.
The USA resort market is overcrowded and competitive, meaning there are excellent discount deals if you know where to look. Be sure to keep an eye out for package deals that incorporate the bulk of your entertainment and activities into the one bill, such as access to water activities and good sporting facilities.
Some of the better accommodation choices include the Sheraton Vistana Resort and the Hard Rock Hotel at the Universal Orlando Resort.
What to do?
Compared to the UK, Florida holidays are packed with an excellent list of attractions in one concentrated area. The fierce competition for the tourist market helps to bring the cost down on everything from food to sightseeing destinations – giving you plenty of opportunities to enjoy yourself.
Some of the best local attractions include the expansive Walt Disney World Resort theme park that covers miles of rides, entertainment and games for kids of all ages. The Kennedy Space Station is another destination well worth a visit, offering kids the chance to see where rockets are built, walk along a real launch pad and even share a meal with an astronaut.
Lovers of the great outdoors can also experience the sights and attractions at a fraction of the cost. With over 1,200 miles of sandy beaches, few holidays are as enjoyable or as affordable as those spent soaking up the rays on the stunning Florida shoreline.
