Travel Destination: Best Family Getaways

Mackinac Island, Michigan


Mackinac Island, Michigan
(800-454-5227; www.mackinacisland.org)

Motor vehicles are banned on this island in the Great Lakes, so you can count on a peaceful vacation with an old-world feel. Horseback, carriage, and boat tours make getting around with your family an adventure. But the best way to explore the beaches and quaint town is to rent bikes and pedal along one of the 60 scenic trails. Or take a stroll along the picturesque shore, and make sure to stop by Main Street to snack on free samples of fudge in almost any flavor imaginable.

Where to stay: The Mission Point Resort is a big hit with families, thanks to its large kids' center, hiking field trips, and pizza parties. Rates start at $119.
