What Type of Trip Is Perfect For Your Family?
Every family is different, and so is every vacation. Whether you're looking for a low-stress getaway, an epic adventure, or something in between, choosing the right type of trip can make all the difference. The best part? There are amazing options for every kind of family, no matter the size, travel experience, or interests. Here's a guide to help you find the perfect trip type that matches your family's vibe, goals, and schedule.
If you want to show your children a new part of the country, a plane trip might be just the ticket! Flying gives your family the chance to explore faraway destinations without spending days in the car. From the beaches of Southern California to the historic streets of Boston, a flight opens up a whole new world.
One great perk: kids under 2 fly for free, which makes flying with little ones much more affordable than you might think. Plus, when you fly, transportation is already taken care of. No need to map out directions, plan fuel stops, or worry about long hours in traffic. Once you land, our team will have everything else taken care of - your hotel, dinner reservations, activities, and more!
Road trips offer the perfect combination of flexibility + fun. With a road trip, you can bring as much as you need - strollers, snacks, toys, extra clothes - without worrying about luggage restrictions or fees. This can be a big perk for families!
You also get to explore areas closer to home, which often get overlooked in favor of big, faraway destinations. Who knows! You might get to explore a charming town or a state park you never knew existed or never took the time to visit.
To make your journey as exciting as your destination, we include a pit stop to break up your travel day.
For families who love the great outdoors, Outdoors Plane Trips are a fantastic option. These trips require a little bit more travel time, but they have big payoffs! Your family will fly to a city, then rent a car to drive to a beautiful outdoors destination. This trip type allows you to explore national parks, mountain ranges, and see beautiful vistas with ease. If your bucket list includes seeing the Grand Canyon, Zion, or other national parks, this type of trip gets you there without the hassle of planning!
We handle all the logistics, from park passes and guided tours to transportation and lodging. All you need to do is show up and enjoy the adventure with your family!
Want to disconnect from devices and reconnect as a family? An Outdoors Road Trip is an incredible way to do just that. You'll get to immerse your kids in nature, whether it's hiking scenic trails, or enjoying quiet mornings by a lake. This trip type is especially great for teaching kids about the simple joys of being outside.
It's the perfect antidote to screen time and busy schedules.
Have a specific place in mind that you’ve always wanted to share with your kids? Maybe it’s your favorite sport team’s hometown, a city you’ve always dreamed of exploring together, or a beach destination that seems perfect for your family. Our You Pick Trip is designed for exactly that.
You tell us the destination, and we take care of the rest. We handle all the planning, from where to stay and what to do, specifically curated for your family’s interests.
This is a great option for milestone trips, first-time adventures, or simply crossing something off your travel wish list!
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to family vacations, and that’s what makes them so special. Whether you're flying to a new city, cruising down scenic highways, or discovering the wild wonders of nature, each trip creates memories your family will treasure forever. The perfect trip is the one that brings your family joy, connection, and a sense of adventure. With Pack Up + Go, we’ll do the work, so your family can just enjoy the trip!
