You will see some of the most beautiful scenery in this country on a National Park Family Vacation. The beauty just cannot be explained - it has to be experienced.

Here,  we will offer reviews of our favorite kid-friendly National Park vacations, and offer you the chance to tell us and our readers about your favorite National Park vacations.

The National Park Service has a fantastic web site set up to provide information on all of the National Parks in the United States.... http://www.nps.gov.  I have used the site to help plan our trips to the parks and get information about the parks and the areas around the parks to help plan our National Park Family Vacations. 

Our family has visited National Parks on Family Vacations for many years, and usually try to work one in to any trip that we take.  We have visited parks in Tennessee, Virginia, California, New York, and Washington DC.....

One of the first things that we bought for the kids on our travels through the National Parks, was a National Park passport booklet.  This booklet is set up like a US passport, and allows you to collect the National Park stamp at each park. 

It makes a great souvenir.... you can buy a National Park Passport at any US National Park, or through the National Park Service E-book Store at eParks.com.

US National Park Family Vacations

• California National Parks - California has some great National Parks and historical areas to visit.  We visited several great National Park locations within San Francisco and within easy driving distance of San Francisco while visiting there.  We visited Fort  Point - located at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge, Crissy Field, Muir Woods, and The Presidio.  But the ultimate National Park Family Vacation visit of the trip was to The Yosemite National Park.
