We did not do a lot of traveling when I was a older teen. My parents separated when I was 16 and it made traveling difficult. However as an adult I have taken my younger siblings on vacations while they were teens so it may be a very interesting perspective indeed. I was not a parent, or the teen, my husband and I took my siblings and my mother along on our travels!
From our travels and my extensive knowledge of Family Vacation Destinations I have come up with a list of the 5 Best Vacation Locations with Teens! These destinations will give every member of the family the vacation they all want and need. You will be the hero! (And If you contact me for help, you can be the hero without any work or stress)
3- Dreams, Dominican Republic
Many of the Dreams Resort & Spas provide teen activities, but the Core Zone Teens Club is a favorite for teens visiting Dreams La Romana Resort and Spa, Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana and Dreams Punta Cana. (Ok so I cheated a bit on this one...) Teens from 13 to 17 enjoy daily planned activities with the entertainment team. There are also sports and games across the resort. The club offers Xbox, Playstation, Wii, pool and foosball. Ever night, from 8:30 to midnight, the Core Zone hosts special teen socials, such as Disco mixers and bonfires. Your teens will be beyond thrilled there is something for them to do at night when they have spent all day with there family, and you will know they are in a safe and fun area and you can have some alone time to enjoy the adults only areas in the resort!
2- Beaches Turks & Caicos
Beaches Turks & Caicos and its sister properties are known for its kid-friendly activities and programing, and this espically includes teens. Various areas of the resort dedicated to teens include the Trench Town Lounge, the Xbox 360 Game Garage, Scratch DJ Academy, and the nighttime dance club, Club Liquid. Teens may also enjoy treatments at the spa, including manicures and pedicures. How wonderful would it be to get manicures and pedicures with your daughter? Or Dad going to the Scratch DJ with his teen? What better way to enjoy something together and get some great bonding time! This is an amazing resort as well because the rooms are so amazing! There are 2 bedroom rooms, so the teens have there own space and you have yours! And butler service...can you ask for more?
1- Disney World- Florida
I know, I know...Disney is just for little kids. This is quite untrue! From state of the art thrill rides to
every type of food the picky teen eater could ever want. The safety of Disney means they can be on there own and you parents can have lovely romantic date nights around the world in Epcot. You can all spend a family day at the epic water parks and your teens can watch you go crazy in the water on the family rafts or you can see them take the plunge on the tallest slides while you relax in the lazy river. Disney has something for everyone including your crazy picky teens! One of the best times to experience all Disney has to offer is during the Halloween party, this is the best parade and fireworks of the entire year!
