Theme park resorts are always a popular choice, especially for younger kids. And although they can be quite expensive, these are ideal places for fun family holidays. There are a wealth of rides and amusements to keep the little ones occupied and also amenities specifically for adults, like spas and golf courses. Themed areas have restaurants serving cuisine from all around the globe and there's entertainment during the day and in the evenings, including shows, concerts, films and firework displays.

Camping is always a good old family favorite for a summer vacation. Holiday parks often have pitches for those with their own tents or caravans as well as accommodation for those who want to rent a place to stay. On-site facilities for use by all residents may include tennis courts, games rooms, swimming pools and aqua parks. There's also good news for parents who want some alone time, as on-site kids' clubs are often a feature of these parks.

Many families like to take their annual trip in a camper van. This means they get to visit various locations along their chosen route and see loads of places all in one holiday. They will also get to stay at different campsites, maybe some based in cities and towns and others in more natural locales like forests.

Other options for family holidays include staying on a farm. Children get to help out with day-to-day tasks like feeding animals and collecting eggs and might even get a ride on a tractor! Accommodation units range from converted barns, ranch and farmhouses to purpose-built lodges and on some farms guests can tuck into meals prepared with locally-sourced produce.

Families that love outdoor activities may want to combine these with their vacations. Activities like walking and cycling can be enjoyed by the whole family. These are a great way to enjoy the great outdoors, see some sites and get some exercise while spending some quality time together. Of course, the length and level of difficulty of the routes chosen will depend on your children's ages as well as ability.

Beach vacations are always popular, both with children and parents. While the grown ups might prefer to spend their time soaking up the sun, their offspring are happy to divide their time between the sand and the sea. Many beach resorts have instructors for various water sports like canoeing, surfing and windsurfing, for those who are feeling adventurous.
