Six Sun Country Spots Packed with Family Fun, Minus the Crowds

Just a four-hour drive from Anchorage, Denali National Park immerses families in Alaska's stunning wilderness. Spot moose, caribou, and more; enjoy easy or challenging hikes; and interact with Alaskan sled dogs—even pet one.
Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN

Minnesota summers are idyllic in the land of 10,000 lakes—perfect for swimming, fishing, or splashing. Don't miss the Mall of America, America's largest mall, featuring an indoor theme park, FlyOver America flight simulator, the world's top-rated shark aquarium (per Animal Planet), adventure golf, The Lego Store for hands-on building, plus 500+ stores and restaurants.
Myrtle Beach, SC

Endless family entertainment awaits: expansive beaches, a vibrant boardwalk with arcades and shops, an amusement park, and the towering SkyWheel Ferris wheel. Try mini-golf, the aquarium, or Broadway Grand Prix's seven go-kart tracks.

Iconic Gateway Arch and its museum are must-sees. The St. Louis Aquarium at Union Station (1.3 million gallons, global sea life) anchors a revamped historic train station with dining in vintage cars and a 20-story observation wheel. Explore the playful City Museum, blending playground and funhouse.
San Antonio, TX

Beyond The Alamo and River Walk, families love the Witte Museum (dinosaurs to mummies), San Antonio Zoo & Aquarium (750+ species), and nearby Six Flags Fiesta Texas for thrills. Unwind at your hotel pool afterward.
