1. Port Angeles, Washington<\/a> <\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"Sun](\"https:\/\/aarp.waveinteractive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Coastline-in-Port-Washington.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nPort Angeles is a vacation spot the whole family will agree on. Olympic National Park is magical no matter your age, as the wheelchair and stroller accessible paths wind all the way to Rialto Beach. Stand before the magnificent ancient trees in the temperate rainforest, and then round up the crew for an afternoon at The Art Park. Everyone will love searching for the hidden artwork scattered around this five-acre outdoor museum.<\/p>\n
2. Cincinnati, Ohio<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"Fans](\"https:\/\/aarp.waveinteractive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Great-American-Ballpark-in-Cincinnati.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nYou\u2019ll be pressed to find a better way to bond with your family than by eating peanuts and cheering for the Reds at Cincinnati\u2019s Great American Ballpark. Keep in the sporting spirit with a visit to Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum, where every member of your family will get lost in the fascinating memorabilia. Still have some time to spare during your vacation in Cincinnati? It\u2019s never too early (or late!) to learn and appreciate the stories of heroes past at the Underground Railroad National Freedom Center.<\/p>\n
3. Branson, Missouri<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"](\"https:\/\/aarp.waveinteractive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Silver-Dollar-City-Branson.jpg\")
<\/a>Via Flickr\/Jeremy Thompson<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nWhat\u2019s better than shooting down a rollercoaster head first? Watching your grandkids do it! There\u2019s a little something for everyone at Silver Dollar City, from kiddie rides to culinary classes. You\u2019ll soon find that the city of Branson has all kinds of entertainment, whether you\u2019re looking for some Civil War-themed entertainment at Dolly Parton\u2019s Stampede or some good times aboard the Showboat Branson Belle. You can even charter your own boat at State Park Marina for a sun-filled day on the water during the ultimate Branson family vacation.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n4. Louisville, Kentucky<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"People](\"https:\/\/aarp.waveinteractive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Churchill-Downs-in-Louisville.jpg\")
<\/a>Via Flickr\/Joanna Poe<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nYour whole family might not all agree on the same horse, but they all love a good derby race! Venture over to the Kentucky Derby Museum in Louisville, where you can tour the famous racetrack. What\u2019s another Louisville staple your clan won\u2019t want to miss? A tour of the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, where baseball lovers of every generation will find themselves captivated by the hands-on exhibits and stories of America\u2019s favorite pastime.<\/p>\n
5. San Antonio, Texas<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/aarp.waveinteractive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Majestic-Theatre-in-San-Antonio.jpg\")
<\/a>Via Flickr\/Phil Roeder<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nYou just might be surprised at how much fun you\u2019ll have with the little ones at Kiddie Park. Designated America\u2019s oldest children\u2019s amusement park, this attraction will stir up some nostalgia, from the carousel to the carnival games. Afterward, settle into one of the family-friendly shows at the historic 1929 Majestic Theatre. And if the 21+ members of your family are craving some adult time, join a Happy Hour Tour to explore behind the scenes! San Antonio has it all.<\/p>\n
6. Amelia Island, Florida<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"](\"https:\/\/aarp.waveinteractive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Fort-Clinch-State-Park-on-Amelia-Island.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nIt won\u2019t take much to convince everyone to take a family-centric Amelia Island vacation. Have some history nuts in the family? Head to the Amelia Island Museum of History. Craving some time outdoors? Take a romp around peaceful Fort Clinch State Park. In need of retail therapy? Hit the shops in Historic Downtown Fernando Beach. As for the sand and sea, no one will complain about spending the day at Main Beach Park, which is wheelchair and stroller accessible.<\/p>\n
7. Palm Springs, California<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/aarp.waveinteractive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Palm-Springs-Aerial-Tramway-in-Palm-Springs.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nYour family members have their different interests, but no one can deny how amazing the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is! As the largest rotating tram car in the world, this attraction serves up amazing views of Chino Canyon. Once you reach Mountain Station, hike around the trails or dine at an elevation of 8,516 feet\u2014yes, it\u2019s OK to brag! The desert destination is also within easy access of other family-friendly spots, from Joshua Tree National Park to the quirky Cabazon Dinosaurs.<\/p>\n
8. Charleston, South Carolina<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/aarp.waveinteractive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Coastline-in-Charleston.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nYes, we\u2019ve celebrated Charleston as a hot spot for retirees<\/a> in the past, but it\u2019s a solid vacation destination for the whole family, too. Climb aboard The Schooner Pride and sail around Charleston Harbor, or zip over to Sullivan\u2019s Island to spend the day on the beach and learn about the region\u2019s ties to the Revolutionary War. Next up, let the little ones run around as you stroll through Battery & White Point Gardens, and spot Fort Sumter in the distance.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n9. Honolulu, Hawaii<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n
