Our family loves to travel. No big shocker there, right? Destinations vary, travel bucket list ideas and wants are different every year and we always tend to go through the same talk about which family vacation ideas are the best.
Typically, the one aspect that stops us from traveling to a number of different locations is that the price of airlines tickets for four can be pretty high. What fun is it to spend the majority of your vacation budget on the travel portion of your trip?
The good news? Frontier Airlines has come to the rescue to ease our travel woes. How different would your family vacation ideas be if you knew that your children would be flying FREE for the trip? It’ like a whole new world, right?

1. Atlanta
Not only does Frontier fly out of Atlanta (score!) but there is also a ton of awesome activities to see and visit as a family. Start off your family vacation by taking a fun tour of the Coca Cola Museum (don’t forget to sample!) and then work your way to the CNN Center, and Atlanta Aquarium as well.
One other really great place that needs to be on your radar is Stone Mountain. If you are in the mood for some Broadway Theatre, a visit to The Fox Theater is a must. Seriously, so much family fun is waiting in Atlanta.

3. Orlando
Orlando is no stranger to epic family vacations. From Sea World to Universal Studios, you and your family can literally hit the ground running from the moment you arrive. Pack your swimsuits and your tennis shoes because this awesome weather offered here can’t be topped!
Orlando is busy during certain months of the year as thousands of people tend to flock there to beat the cold, winter weather. If you’re wanting to travel there, see if heading there in the off-season is an option to beat the heavy tourist traffic.
4. Disney World
5. San Diego
Don’t miss out on this gem on the West Coast. San Diego is known for its amazing attractions like the San Diego Zoo, Safari Park, plus beautiful beaches and weather. Planning a visit to the USS Midway Museum is a great way to learn about the history or our nation while getting to see and experience it first hand. Vacationing here is a great way to get in some steps and enjoy everything that this city has to offer.
6. Las Vegas
7. New York
One of the most exciting vacation spots for families is New York. The Big Apple has something for everyone; from Broadway to Rockefeller Center, you will never run out of things to do here. (seriously, never!) Among the many sites to visit is Radio City Music Hall where you can take in a show; Madison Square Garden; the Empire State Building; the Village; 42nd Street, the Theatre District; museums; shopping, fabulous cuisine; the list is truly endless.
8. Chicago
9. Houston
Houston is jam-packed full of theater options and art so if you’re looking for a fun, unique and creative vacation, this is one place that you’ll want to visit! Plan a day exploring the NASA’s Space Center, Houston Museum of Natural Science, and make certain that you pencil in the Houston Zoo. The downtown area of Houston also offers some amazing activities to explore together as well. Is everything bigger and better in Texas? You’ll have to visit there to find out!
10. Branson
If you’re looking for a family-friendly vacation, Branson Missouri is almost too good to be true! If you are flying with Frontier, you will fly into St. Louis Lambert International Airport. It is about a 4-hour drive to Branson but well worth the scenic drive through the Ozark Mountains.
Branson is truly a hidden gem of the midwest that offers more than meets the eye. Plus, Midwestern hospitality is a real thing! Planning a trip to a Missouri town that takes pride in each and everything is truly a breath of fresh air.
Packed full of shows, activities, golfing, zipling, and one of the biggest Ferris wheels around, you’ll be busy from the day you arrive to the day you leave.
One bit of advice? Book your tickets for the shows well in advance because they fill up quickly! With great entertainers like The Clay Cooper Show, The Baldknobbers and The Dolly Parton Stampede, you’ll fall in love with the entertainers and the musical talent!

11. Cruise Vacation
A cruise can be an excellent family vacation. With some amazing itineraries, world-class entertainment, unlimited food, and in most cases, childcare! Not only do you get to enjoy so much on the ship, but you get to visit some pretty awesome destinations that you more than likely wouldn’t have thought before to visit on your own. You have the flexibility to choose from different itineraries and you can leave out of ports from Miami, Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, New York, Seattle, or San Francisco, to name a few. The best part, Frontier Airlines flies to many of these popular cruise ship terminals.
With just a little bit of research, you can choose the right cruise for you and your family. It can even be one of the most affordable vacations you’ll ever go on. Tip: Schedule your flight the day before your cruise. This takes the pressure off if your flight is delayed. You don’t want to miss your ship!
