Nothing tops off a family vacation, especially during the holidays. During these vacations, you make memories that last a lifetime. When planning a family vacation, we recommend you research places where you’re sure you’ll have the best time. To make your work easier, we’ve compiled a list of the ten best family vacation destinations to visit with kids this year. Let’s dive in.

Okanagan

During the spring, summer or fall, do not miss out on going to the Okanagan region of British Columbia. During this time, the farmer’s market is usually full of local produce, and in the spring and fall, the people are fewer so you’re sure to enjoy your stay. In the Okanagan, check out the family beaches such as Kal Beach at Kalamalka Lake and Hot Sands Beach on Lake Okanagan in Kelowna. Have fun on the water with a paddleboard, take in a swim or cycle through the signed trails. End your family’s fun day with great food and some famous Okanagan wine for the adults.
