Orlando

• If your vacation is purely concerned with fun, then Orlando is the place to go. For kids who love movies and superheroes, take them to Universal Studios. If they love animals, Sea World has some of the most authentic animal habitats you'll ever see at a theme park. There's also Animal Kingdom, which is part of Disney World. Disney World can be a vacation all on its own. In addition to Animal Kingdom, Disney World includes the Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center and Hollywood Studios.
  
  

Chicago

• Kids are awestruck by skyscrapers, and one of the most stunning skylines in the country belongs to Chicago. If you want your kids to experience the excitement and culture of a city, Chicago is the perfect choice. Full of museums and zoos, parks and buildings, the Windy City will keep your kids busy. One of the best places to visit while on a family vacation in Chicago is Navy Pier, where you'll find a kids' museum, an IMAX theatre and one of the largest Ferris wheels in the country.
  
  

Colorado

• If you have enough energy for the mountains, take your kids to the Rockies. Colorado has some of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the country, and as long as you don't let the kids go too far off on their own, they'll love climbing around through the mountainous terrain. You might even see mountain goats and hawks while you're up there. If you want to bring out the nature-lover in your kid, Colorado should be priority No. 1.
