Jackson Hole
#7 in Best Family Winter Vacations
Experience a winter wonderland fit for the whole family in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Kids who aren’t quite ready for the bunny hill can go snow tubing at Grand Targhee Resort or Snow King Resort while aspiring ice skaters zip around the Village Rink on the Commons in Teton Village. Dog sledding tours and National Elk Refuge sleigh rides are additional must-do family activities. When you need to warm up, head inside the Jackson Hole Playhouse for dinner and a family-friendly Western-themed show.
Sanibel Island
#8 in Best Family Winter Vacations
Collecting shells along the sandy shores, exploring the Sanibel Lighthouse and indulging in fresh seafood are just a few activities that families can enjoy on Florida’s Sanibel Island. Groups can soak up some sun at Bowman’s Beach or look for shorebirds in J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge. Because Sanibel Island offers slightly more affordable accommodations than other popular beach getaways, it’s especially popular with budget-conscious travelers. But remember, temperatures often drop from the mid- to high 70s during the day to the 50s at night, so pack layers.
