[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s such a great age to travel.  We really liked Tetons and Yellowstone — great mix of different activities and animal sightings.

Alaska and California (SF, Yosemite, Santa Barbara) were also great.  Puerto Rico also great.  Hawaii is phenomenal but you can save that for when they are harder-to-please teens!

I’ll also be cliche and say disney world because it’s true.

What activities did you enjoy with young kids in Yellowstone and Tetons? Planning a trip this summer! [/quote]

I'm a different poster but took my then 5 and 9 year olds a few years ago.  We enjoyed the breakfast boat ride in Teton- boat us out to a small island on the lake at sunrise and there was coffee, breakfast foods, etc on the island set up for us.  Plenty of easy hikes around Teton also.  We stayed at Jackson Lake Lodge and my kids, of course, said the best part was the pool.  For me and DH, the best part was we got a cabin room with a balcony and enjoyed early morning coffee/ late evening drinks with gorgeous mountain views while kids were sleeping.    In yellowstone, honestly there was way more time in the car than I wanted- tons of traffic, and while Grand Prismatic Spring was one of the more beautiful and unique things I'd ever seen in my life, it was PACKED and we had to walk down the boardwalk in a crowd like we were on an assembly line.  We stayed at Old Faithful Lodge so at least we didn't have to worry about traffic around taht area and I'd 100000% recommend staying there- that way you can really enjoy the area without worrying about parking and leaving before dinner.  We rented bikes and took plenty of moderate hikes around there. Yes it was crowded, but also had a lot to do.  I will say our favorite parts of yellowstone were pulling over randomly and having picnics by rivers or walking around seeing wildlife on our own, with no one else in sight.  And then we stayed way up in the Roosevelt cabins (way north) and that was pretty deserted too.  The cowboy covered wagon ride to a BBQ dinner that leaves from there was a huge hit, also.[/quote]
