Daytona Beach Vacations - fun in the sun Family Vacations

Family vacation fun at one of the most popular beaches in the USA...

If you live in a windy state, say Chicago or a place wherein you do not get a lot of beach action, a great place for you to take your kids to for your next family vacation is to Daytona Beach FLA. One of the more popular beach towns in Florida, Daytona Beach FLA is teeming with touristy attractions such as amusement arcades for the kids, T-shirt shops for your wife’s souvenir shopping fix, and for a more affordable place to stay in, there are also load of motels available for visiting families like you.

This is definitely a fun place to take your kids to whether they are already water babies or just adjusting to all the sand, sea, and surf, they will surely have a ball here. One of the popular attractions at Daytona Beach FLA is its long stretch of light brown sand beach, twenty miles to be exact. Once a favorite among vacationing college kids who like to stay there for Spring Break, Daytona Beach FLA eventually became a more family-friendly vacation spot once it started prohibiting underage drinking and other inappropriate behavior caused by visiting college kids.

Now, Daytona Beach FLA, likes to focus on three major festivals to help draw in the tourists, there is the Daytona 500 every February, the Bike Week which is held during early March, and Daytona’s newest festival, the Biketoberfest. If you want to partake in these popular events though, you must book way in advance. Not just for your show tickets but for your hotel accommodations as well as tickets to the Daytona 500 do sell out really fast and the influx of tourists coming into town during this time can be quite overwhelming so you better beat the rush and book early. You can expect to shell out about $220 for a weekend package for the Daytona 500, just call Tel. no 904/253-7223 for your booking needs or for more information on Daytona festivals.

You can also avail of the guided van tours which are usually being held daily unless there is a race going on of course. For only $6, you can take your kids on a fun tour around the race track, tour starts at 9:30am up to 5pm and has an interval of 30 minutes.

If your boys like cars, then they will surely get a kick out of this tour as this is considered as the fastest racetrack in the world. And if that gets you and your kids in the mood to learn more about cars, racing, its history, beginnings, etc. then make sure to check out the Klassix Auto Museum which is located at 2909 W International Speedway Blvd. This is open daily from 9am to 6pm, and will only charge you $8.50 for admission.  And to cap off a fun day with your kids, make sure to treat them to a ride at the popular Space Needle which is located at the end of Main Street Pier. A ride up the Space Needle will only cost you $3.00 and from there you and your kids will already be able to enjoy a great view of the many bars, tattoo parlors, etc. of the area.
