Visiting Austria with Children Austria is full of family attractions, and children of any age will enjoy it. It may not have famous amusement parks such as Disneyland of Efteling, but it has a variety of other attractions and beautiful scenery. The best areas for families to visit on a trip to Austria are, in my opinion, Tirol and Salzburg; but of course, there are things for children to do and see in Vienna as well: The famous ferris wheel in Wurstelprater, the Spanish Horse Riding School and a tour of Schoenbrunn Palace, which has its own charming gardens and a zoo.

If you do not have a car you will have to stay in hotels in central city areas, which are far more expensive (double the price or more). If you have rented a car, however, I recommend living outside of the busy central areas, just a few miles outside of the city centre. There, prices drop significantly while service remains just as good. Read More...

The Great Niagara Falls The Niagara Falls are two enormous waterfalls in the Niagara River, which straddles the border between the state of New York in the US and Ontario in Canada. The American falls are on the American side of the border, and they make up only 10% of all the water in the Niagara Falls. They are 55 metres high and 330 metres wide. To the right of these falls is a smaller waterfall, separated from the others by the forces of nature, called Bridal Veil Falls. Goat Island separates the two parts of the American falls.

It’s even better if you can pet them, feed them, ride them and watch them appear in shows. Adding animals to a holiday with children is a recipe for success, and so, in nearly every big touristy city in the world you will find a zoo or aquarium. Thailand in particular is full of options for friendly face-to-face encounters with animals of every type, shape and size. Read More...
•Costa Rica	•A ustralia
Star Trips in Costa Rica for Families Costa Rica is a fantastic destination for a family trip. It’s diverse, friendly and safe (The country doesn’t even have an army). The official language of Costa Rica is Spanish, but it is easy to get around in it with just English. It’s got a winning combination of sporty activities, active vacationing and nature. It is easy to combine a trip to Costa Rica with a trip to the U.S., thanks to the relatively cheap flights easily available from several destinations in the US. This includes direct flights (less than 3 hours long and costing only $150-200) from Orlando, the #1 family destination in the world. Read More...
