California & Western USA Family Holidays Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Andy Boyce
With the kids, Monterey, perched on the Northern California coast, is a superb choice with all that it offers – the aquarium, Cannery Row, whale watching trips, Monterey downtown, and more!
Robert Mitchell
On a visit to Yosemite National Park with the family, there are so many outdoors activities to enjoy including night walks, archery and guided daytime tours of the valley. Perhaps treat yourself to s’mores over the fire pit after an energising day exploring the national park!
Ross Simpson
Anaheim, California, is a perfect base for visiting the Disneyland Resort. Being near to Disney, Downtown Disney, Anaheim GardenWalk, the outlets at Orange (outdoor shopping mall), and just 25 mins drive from the spectacular Huntington Beach, it’s a perfect location for visiting these top tourist attractions with a young family.
