5 Summer Vacation Ideas for Families with Kids
A new season has arrived again, school is out and the kids are home. It’s time to take advantage of the long days of summer to create memories with the kids and take a break without breaking the bank.
Our list of 5 summer vacation ideas for families with kids will take you to a farm stay in New York, theme parks in Pennsylvania, ski resort in Vermont and the beach in Florida.
One: Farm Stay Experience at Humble Hill Farm
Humble Hill Farm has been farming since 1999 producing clean food, using non-GMO seeds, no pesticides, herbicides or any chemical fertilizers. Your family will have a unique experience and find out where food really comes from, get a taste of local fresh fruits and vegetables and understand first hand what it means to have the
farm to table concept.
Humble Hill Farm is located approximately
288 miles from New York City and
362 miles from Boston. It is an easy drive from both cities. You can combine your summer vacation by visiting the busy cities of New York City or Boston and to the quiet retreat of Humble Hill Farm.
We like the fact that the farm stay includes free WiFi and includes a breakfast made with pure ingredients and fresh foods from local farms. For more information please check out their
website.
Two: New York City
The Big Apple, as New York City is known throughout the world, is a huge playground for young and old, history buffs, foodies, shoppers or anyone who loves architecture and city lights.
Three major
international airports and two domestic airports serve the city. We recommend The
American Museum and Natural History in New York City. The museum has ancient artifacts, dinosaurs, diamonds and even a night at the museum tour for your family this summer.
Three: Hershey Park Pennsylvania
11 thrilling roller coasters, over 65 rides and attractions including over 20 kiddie rides, lots of chocolates and chocolate characters are what you will find at Hershey Park Pennsylvania.
Hershey Park is located about
95 miles from Philadelphia and 161 miles from New York City.
If your kids like water parks, Hershey Park has nine water attractions and you can join the Breakfast At The Park program where meals are served with Hershey’s Product Characters like Kisses and Reese’s.

Rent a condo or stay at a beach hotel in Destin in the Panhandle area of Florida. Destin is only a
250 mile drive from New Orleans.
