From the towering landmarks of New York City to the chic hills of Los Angeles, and everything in between, you'll have plenty of options. Read on for a roundup of some of the greatest family holiday destinations in the USA.
You can't go wrong with the Big Apple, with its iconic sites including the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and Central Park. It's a superb family Christmas destination and also great to explore by foot in warmer weather. Other attractions include the wonderful Bronx Zoo and the vibrant, neon-lit Times Square.
You'll feel like you're on a film set as you take a guided tour of the star-studded spots of Beverly Hills. Also look out for your favourite celebrities' names on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and visit the trendiest stores in Highland Park. Los Angeles is a wonderful springboard for visiting other Californian cities by car, bus, or train, including San Diego and Long Beach.
With all the theme parks clustered around Orlando, Florida will entertain everyone in the family for weeks. Discover everything from Universal Studios and Walt Disney World to lesser-known parks like Fun Spot America. Exploring Florida by car is a delight, with its subtropical climate offering a rich wilderness of plant and animal life in the mighty Everglades.
This is one of the world's most awe-inspiring natural landmarks. Arrive at the historic Grand Canyon Village and head on to the dramatic views from the iconic Watchtower. Snap-happy family members will capture incredible photos in this scenic and unforgettable landscape. The Grand Canyon is reachable by car from Las Vegas.
This is another of the USA's great cities, perfect for families who love to shop and take in culture. Get panoramic views from the Skydeck on Willis Tower, over 1,300 feet in the air. Then head to the Magnificent Mile for great shopping, or visit museums like Adler Planetarium and the Art Institute of Chicago. Millennium Park is a cultural centre for arts, and features an ice rink in winter.
