There are many ways to make a staycation feel like a vacation. Here are 18 awesome staycation ideas the whole family will love that will allow you to experience new things.
Oftentimes we are so busy living in our towns or cities, we forget to learn about where we live. During a staycation with kids, you can become a local tourist in your town or city and go exploring new and old things!
If you decide to have an awesome staycation and live semi-near an amusement park, it is a great way to entertain your youngsters. This was another family staycation idea we took advantage of last summer, and our kids had a blast.
During the hot days of summer, if pools are not accessible, there has to be a way to cool down. From water balloons, to slip and slides, sprinklers, and the good old-fashioned hose, it is a great way to cool the kiddies down during your family staycation.
From outdoors to indoors, you could spend a night or even a week focused on a new family movie during your staycation with kids. You could even project one outside, under the stars, during a camping at-home adventure. Each child could pick a travel-themed family movie like Moana, Coco, or Ratatouille.
