Back-to-school season ramps up fast, so you’re definitely not alone if you’re already dreaming of a vacation. Fall getaways are perfect for hitting the pause button on the daily grind and recharging as a family. The weather is pleasant, notes of pumpkin spice are in the air and everyone in your crew is eager for some fun to offset the end-of-summer blues.
Here are our top five reasons to get out of town this Autumn:
Anything goes!
Fall is prime time to visit somewhere on your travel hit list. The temps are just right–not too hot, not too cold. Whether you want to road trip through breathtaking foliage, hike among the mountaintops, chill out on a glistening beach down South, or explore natural wonders out West, there’s a destination that checks all the right boxes for every family’s ideal getaway.
You’ve got a break? Use it!
Many schools have “fall breaks,” which is a great excuse to zip off to a new spot and get a quick respite from typical routines. No lunches to pack for a few days or the blazing (tiring!) glow of your screen? We’re in! Find a great hotel with an awesome pool for the kids and a zen spa for you. Tour a scenic city teeming with historical landmarks. Experience all-out action and adventure in the great outdoors. Hit up museums and cool restaurants galore. No matter what type of trip is calling to you…traveling certainly takes school breaks up a notch.
It’s family bonding at its best
Make memories, laugh around the dinner table, and discover new things together. No matter where you go, a fall vacation is a special way to spend quality time with the people you love the most!
It’s often more affordable
From hotels to flights, planning a fall trip to a typical hot spot can be more affordable when it’s not peak season. Heading to a ski town before it snows or a popular resort after the summer rush can be a delightfully quiet, less crowded experience with plenty of incredible adventures to be had. And if you’re not into mile-long lines and the sweltering heat of theme parks in the summertime, autumn is an excellent time to enjoy your favorite rides. Many amusement parks host special fall or Halloween-themed events, too.
