Planning the Ideal Family Vacation in Florida

Florida is one of the most family-friendly vacation destinations in the world. You’ll find an array of theme parks and beaches galore, along with accommodations and restaurants catering to kids. Add Florida's warm weather to this mix, and it's no wonder the beautiful Sunshine State usually tops the list for fun family vacations.

The Best Destinations for Family Vacations in Florida

While there are lots of fantastic destinations in Florida that are great choices for your family vacation, here's a selection of popular locations you need to consider. It all comes down to what you want to see and do as a family.

1. Orlando

Known as the theme park capital of the world, Orlando is clearly the number one family destination when it comes to all things entertainment. There's so much here for the whole family to enjoy, including thrilling rides, water parks, and relaxing resort areas.
2. Clearwater Beach

Only 25mi west of Tampa, Clearwater Beach sports perfect white sands. Go for educational opportunities like interesting museums, going on a dolphin cruise, or checking out an aquarium to learn about local marine life.
3. Miami

The Magic City provides plenty of educational experiences for you and your kids to enjoy. There’s the Miami Children's Museum to test imaginations, or explore the biodiversity of the Everglades. Soak up the sun at gorgeous beaches, and even ride a hop-on, hop-off double-decker bus.
4. Anna Maria Island

A 9mi drive west of Bradenton brings you and your family to gorgeous Anna Maria Island, where the classic Florida vibe here is sure to win your hearts. You’ll find a selection of quaint stores and charming restaurants. Get some rental bikes or ride the free trolley to explore this picturesque island.

Things to Do During Your Family Vacation in Florida

Besides an array of activities ranging from beachcombing to scuba diving, Florida is an ideal family vacation destination both in and out of the water. There’s opportunities for adventure and learning about new cultures.

1. Aquatic Fun for Everyone

Florida's famed coastline offers seemingly endless opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and beachcombing. Kayak along the abundant mangroves to view bird rookeries, dolphins, and manatees. Miami's expansive Venetian Pool has been welcoming visitors to its aquifer-fed waters since 1923, a great way to spend a warm South Florida afternoon.
2. Go Day-tripping

From Miami, it’s 64mi south to John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, near the beginning of the Florida Keys, where your family will love snorkeling with the tropical fish, or simply viewing them from a glass-bottom boat. From Anna Maria Island, it’s a quick 22mi to Sarasota, where you can explore its unique cultural scene or relax at one of its many fine keys, or islands.
3. Theme Park Adventures

Jungle Island in Miami offers a popular tropical bird exhibit, and unique twin orangutans. Orlando is home to SeaWorld Orlando, Walt Disney World, LegoLand, and Universal Studios Florida. Buccaneer Bay Water Park at Weeki Wachee Springs offers an array of thrilling waterslides on a white sand beach.
4. Get Educated

A 55mi drive east of Orlando brings you to Cape Canaveral, home to the Kennedy Space Center, where you can explore exhibits related to the US space program, or even see a rocket launch. Gatorland offers visitors the chance to learn about Florida's iconic wildlife, including its collection of rare giant white alligators.

What to Pack for Your Family Vacation in Florida

Florida's climate generally requires casual lightweight clothing that can be easily mixed and matched. Comfort, convenience, and versatility are the key.

1. A Mix of Clothing

It’s a good idea to take two or more of each piece of clothing, especially swimwear. That way one set can be drying, while the other is being worn. Clothing that can be worn in light layers is always a good idea, as it may get cooler in the evening hours.
2. Saving Space

If you roll up clothing in your luggage instead of laying them flat, you’ll fit more into your bags overall. Space saver bags you can vacuum excess air out of are great for saving space and weight.
3. Packing with Your Kids

If you’re flying with your kids, set them up with backpacks including a change of clothes, a swimsuit, necessary medication, and hygiene necessities. Let your kids pick out a treat and their favorite toys to include in their packs. Involve them in the packing process, with your helpful supervision.
4. Enjoying the Florida Sunshine

To protect everyone from the warm, yet intense sun, be sure to pack sunscreen with a good SPF factor. Hats and sunglasses will also keep you adequately shielded from UV rays.
