Family Reunion Destinations

As time passes, family members inevitably find it harder to keep in touch. Getting the family together again is always a great idea and there are locations that are perfect for doing so.



Family Reunion Destinations

Some of the best memories a family can make is when an entire extended group of relatives gathers together for a trip. Family reunions can bring together entire generations, and both young and old can enjoy their time together. Choosing where to have your reunion, however, can be a bit tricky. Families need to find a place that will be friendly to both the youngest and the oldest in their group. Here are some destinations that will fit the bill no matter what ages you are working with.

One of the friendliest spots is also "The Happiest Place on Earth". The Disney Parks (Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida and Disneyland in Anaheim, California) offer packages that are perfect for getting a large group of people together. Disney's "Magical Gatherings" make it possible for multi-family and extended family trips to be planned and executed without many of the hassles that are inherent in other resort areas. If there are a lot of small kids in the extended family, the parks will keep them busy while the rest of the family chats.

Another great spot is the Rocking Horse Ranch, located in upstate New York. Just 90 minutes from New York City, this ranch offers breathtaking views of the Shawangunk Mountains, as well as the ability to host year round family reunions. There are many different outdoor activities put on by the ranch each season including winter activities like skiing to summer activities like horseback riding. The Rocking Horse Ranch claims that a trip here will be "the most fun your family's ever had", and with a claim like that your reunion is sure to be a hit.

Finally, one of the other great family reunion destinations is also located in the Northeast. Smuggler's Notch, located in picturesque Vermont, is open in summer, fall and winter for your family reunion needs. Located near Burlington, Vermont, Smuggler's Notch offers activities for smaller children as well as teens, and adults will find plenty to do as well. The condo-style accommodations means that even larger family units will be sure to have enough space here.

Planning a family reunion can be a tough job. One way to get people excited and involved is to pick a destination that caters to everyone regardless of age and interests.
