Thinking of taking your kids to a brief visit to the US? You need to know the right places to visit or else they will be left disillusioned less than a couple of days into the holiday!  We take a look at the top spots you can plan your vacation around. However, as you plan your vacation, don’t forget to apply for an ESTA. The ESTA document is an important one your family needs in other to be allowed entry into the United States.

Walt Disney World Resort, Florida

This resort is referred to as the magic world and it is no surprise. It is a 47 square mile park that is filled with theme parks, water wonderlands and hotels.  There are lots of fireworks, parades, meals and side attractions. This means that you could literally stay here for a couple of days with your family and not get bored. There is always something else to do, explore or eat. To navigate more quickly, ask about the FastPass on arrival. If your family is staying in a hotel at the resort, you get the privilege of going in an hour earlier than everyone else.

Discovery Cove, Florida

A few miles away from the northeast of Walt Disney world, the Discovery Cove offers a once in a lifetime experience. Your children younger than 6 will not be allowed to swim here but the ones 6 and above can enjoy time in the water, playing with dolphins, stingrays and other beautiful sea creatures. There is also a good collection of birds in the aviary. The entry costs is expensive though but this is understandable as it covers everything from meals to photograph.

Monterey Bay Aquarium California

It is almost impossible to not love this aquarium. Set on the beautiful but rocky coast of Carmel in California, this is one attraction that is a family favourite. This is thanks to the stunning exhibits ranging from touch pools for your toddlers to big shark tanks for you and your older kids to enjoy. There is a lot to enjoy and one of your toughest challenges maybe getting your children away from say, the sea otters, to see other animals in the Aquarium. Just outside of the aquarium, you can watch sea lions, whales and more swimming in their natural habitat!

St. Louis Zoo, Missouri

This is another wonderful facility that offers your family a great option for spending an entire day. The zoo is also popular for its constant improvements as this means there is always something new to love every time you visit. While here, make out time to visit the Penguin and Puffin Coast. Interestingly, general admission here is free.

With these places, you can be sure your kids would have a swell time in the USA.
