The land of the free accounts for 6% of the entire landmass in the world.

It’s no wonder so many travel there every year.

Many Brits find themselves moving to USA from UK and end up vacationing throughout the US for many years.

With no fewer than nine regional climates, deserts, mountains and beaches, it’s no wonder so many flock here every year to do a bit of travelling.

It is even more attractive to do so with the family.

With English being the de facto language, your children will find it easy to communicate with everyone and anyone, unlike if you were to go to Europe.

Without further ado, here are the best seven family vacation destinations in the USA:


1. Walt Disney World, Florida

There is no better family vacation in the US.

Whether your children are fans of Star Wars or Mickey Mouse, there is something for everyone here. Many people aren’t aware of just how large Disneyworld is… It’s about the size of San Francisco, at 40 square miles!

Whether it’s the Millennium Falcon or Cinderella’s Castle for you, there is so much to do here. Unlike Disneyland Paris, you’ll need at least eight full days to enjoy everything that Disneyworld has to offer.

Go live out your childhood dream and take your children with you, to this stunning amusement park, unlike any other.

2. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

Outdoor enthusiast’s make up the 4 million visitors that Yellowstone receives every year. Yellowstone National Park was the first designated national park in the world and has everything from geysers to forests.

The majority will visit here in the summer, with the beautiful forest applying a green hue to the backdrop and creating the perfect environment for the local wildlife to run amok.

When it comes to winter, the travellers are far fewer, but they are rewarded ten times over. This stunning landscape puts on a white cloak and encourages snowmobiling and cross-country skiing, streaming past geysers and hot springs.

Whatever time of the year, you’ll find Yellowstone offers a warm welcome to those who decide to trek here.

4. Yosemite National Park, California

Add together dramatic granite cliffs with waterfalls overflowing from the precipice, clear streams and grassy meadows, and you’ve got yourself a place called Yosemite.

Yosemite makes an excellent vacation for all the family, and it’s even one of the most family-friendly tourist destinations in the US.

7. New York City

Grab the phone, contact a company that specialises in removals to USA and move permanently.
