When traveling with kids it is important to make the journey a fun part of a family road trip. These fun ideas can add variety to the trip without breaking the budget. Given that the goal is to eventually reach the destination, each suggestion takes under 45 minutes to complete and is adaptable to every road trip.
1. Stop at a wacky or unusual attraction along the way (largest ball of twine, anyone?). Follow the roadside billboards or do a Google search before your trip to find one or two unusual tourist attractions along your route. Many of them are near the freeway, inexpensive and just may become the subject of family stories for years to come.
2. Add a safari tour. Every major highway has at least one wildlife or safari driving adventure located near the road. While the animals may be no more exotic than a zebra or buffalo, the excitement of watching for animals on a drive through the park effectively breaks up a long trip without breaking the bank.
3. Stop at a park, rest area or elementary school playground. Many states have clean, park like rest areas that are perfect for games of catch, tag or even flying a kite. If rest areas aren't an option, consider driving through a small, roadside town and visiting their playground for a few minutes of active fun.
4. Avoid fast food and stop at a family friendly restaurant for a sit-down meal. Chains like Cracker Barrel have a gift shop to walk around in (packed with plenty of demo toys for the kids) and a well-rounded menu with something for everyone. As a bonus, they are used to travelers and have fast service and clean restrooms.
Road trip memories are made on the journey - be sure to add some fun and adventure to your next family road trip and make getting there half the fun.
