Very few things are fun for the entire family. This is particularly true if you have a large age gap between your kids. Sarah’s are currently 7-13, and mine are 5-18 so…family fun is a challenge.
But there are still a few activities that might work for families, even those with large age spreads. In today’s episode of Best of Both Worlds, Sarah and I share ideas, including movies, restaurants, day trips, vacations, and more that might work for people of all ages.
Then in the Q&A we answer a family travel related question: Any best practices for moving kids across multiple time zones? I have to say, I’m kind of still traumatized from the aftermath of bringing my 5-year-old back from Hawaii two months ago…
Please give the episode a listen, and as always we welcome ratings and reviews!
Love this topic — great ep! I would add camping to the outdoors activities. I never wanted to camp, and my 6&9yo talked me into it. Now, I love it. It is a great way for everyone to be away from the city, mostly disconnected, outdoors, and we’ve figured out how to sleep well on the overnights too.
@Amanda – yes! This could certainly be a fun family activity – kind of in the same category as “broad outdoors” – people can make their own fun in a beautiful rustic spot.
