Avoid places that everyone is already tired of: 13 unique parks for families with children
Summer is fast approaching, and you are probably itching to go somewhere to travel. Each region of the United States has its own unique, interesting and often quirky travel destinations for families to enjoy. Where can I go, said the publication Lifehacker.
Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin
Wisconsin Dells is known as the "Waterpark Capital of the World". This description of the city alone should give you an idea of what awaits you if you visit it. There are more than 20 different water parks in the area, but there are many other places for recreation and entertainment.
You can go to a museum, visit the Dells Mining Co., go hiking or play golf, just to name a few. Almost 3000 people live in the city, but more than 4 million tourists visit it every year.
"Dollywood" in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
Dollywood is a theme park located in a bay in the Great Smoky Mountains. In addition to the rides, you can attend a concert by a string band, gospel quartet, various performances or crafts, and try to make your own souvenirs.
There is a fair, a playground and a nature reserve, which is home to the largest population of bald eagles in the country. In addition, various exhibitions and other events are constantly held here.
Unique Cruise
When you hear the word "cruise" you probably think of a huge ship bound for the Bahamas. But it's interesting to find something more unique. For example, you can cruise from California or Washington to Alaska and visit an old city that flourished during the gold rush, or see whales.
Other cruises that are not standard may take you to Iceland or Canada. Just make sure your passport is in order.
Yosemite Pines RV Resort in Groveland, California
Yosemite Pines RV Resort in Groveland offers something a little different from what you'll find in popular California destinations like Disneyland, Lake Tahoe, Universal Studios, or Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
Namely, the chance to sleep in the van. These air conditioned, heated and fully furnished vans are considered "glamping".
Medora, North Dakota
Before you exclude North Dakota from your list of summer vacation destinations, read about this town. Medora is a tourist town in the style of the Old West. The whole city is following this theme, so expect to see cowboy hats and boots everywhere.

Drive through the beautiful Painted Canyon to the city near Theodore Roosevelt National Park and camp or stay at one of the fun themed hotels. In the evening, enjoy a delicious meal at Pitchfork Steak Fondue while taking in the views, then head to the Medora Musical for an unbeatable show that tells you all about the Wild West.
Vertical Horizons Treehouse Paradise in Cave Junction, Oregon
Here you'll find it all - rafting, wine tasting, fishing, tree climbing, hiking and more, as well as modern treehouses. They have cool names like Cottage, Calypso, Excalifir, and Shiitake.
There are toilets, hot and cold water, refrigerator and pots. You can also play golf and cook on the grill.
World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta, Georgia
At the World of Coca-Cola, you have the opportunity to sample various Coke products from around the world, visit a fragrance exhibit, take photos at the Coca-Cola Polar Bar, watch the bottling process from start to finish, and find artifacts. Entry to the World of Coca-Cola is included with the Atlanta CityPASS along with the Georgia Aquarium and the Atlanta Zoo. While in town, you can take a tour of the CNN studios, among other things.
Carhenge in Alliance, North Carolina
If you're planning a trip this summer, take some time off Highway 87 and stop in Carhenge. This is a replica of Stonehenge, made from almost 40 American-made cars. All cars are painted gray and arranged in a pattern more or less reminiscent of a historic English landmark. Nearby there is a rest stop made from hay bales.
Deadwood, South Dakota
Deadwood is a National Historic Landmark where you'll learn about the gold rush, see an Old West reenactment, gamble and practically travel back in time on the 1880 train, check out the Black Hills Mining Museum or the Broken Boot Gold Mine to get an idea of what the history of the region is.
You can also play the world's largest slot machine at Bodega Casino. Every summer, the nearby town of Sturgis hosts the infamous motorcycle rally, so if you plan your trip right, you can spend 10 days walking around with 500 riders and enjoying delicious street food and concerts.
Annual Astronomy Festival in Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah
Bryce Canyon National Park in southwestern Utah is open and beautiful year-round, but June hosts a special event: the Annual Astronomy Festival. If you love space and nature, then you should definitely come here. The list of events for the 2022 festival has not yet been released, but last year visitors made planispheres, went on ranger-led constellation tours and attended programs about planets, black holes and more.
Bryce Canyon also has hiking and mountain biking trails, guided quad biking tours, rodeos and more, so there's plenty to do.
Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia
At Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, the largest living open-air museum in America, learn about XNUMXth-century life in the former state capital before and during the American Revolution.
The historic landmark includes actors in period costumes, restored colonial buildings and streets closed to motor vehicles.

The reconstructed taverns are used as restaurants and inns, so you can stay in the heart of ancient magic by planning a visit to the Governor's Palace and courthouse, various art museums and artisan workshops such as a forge, a cooper's workshop, and a wig workshop. At the Public Prison, you can see where Blackbeard's pirate crew awaited trial in 1704.
Jersey Shore waterfront, New Jersey
Whether you live in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or even Connecticut, waterfront travel is a pretty standard part of the summer.
The waterfront stretches for 141 miles (226 km) along the Atlantic Ocean, from Perth Amboy to Cape May Point, and everywhere you will find beautiful beaches, a national wildlife sanctuary, an aquarium, an aviation museum, fun boardwalks, many restaurants and shops.
Choose any beach and you are sure to find nightclubs, amusement parks, ball courts or whale watching.
Train travel
This is not a destination, but a modest suggestion of how you could get to whatever you choose: take the train. Of course, it takes some time, but driving a car also takes time, and you can create great memories while watching the views outside the window.
Amtrak offers sleeping cars - private rooms with beds, chairs, a small sink, free coffee, lounge access and a guide.
