[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- I was you. Hang in there. Kids love tacky places. They just do. Chuck E Cheese, disney, those trampoline places, those indoor game places.

I promise you they will grow out of it and you can go back to standards. [/quote]

What age do they outgrow this? I just want to take them to Nantucket or London but it feels like it’s a long time off that they’d enjoy that. [/quote]

My kids love both of those places -- the beach and the city.  My philosophy is to bring the kids on your vacation, not go on the kids' vacation.  They don't "need" a gross amusement park or grody trash boardwalk beach to have fun.  
My kids have fun if there is 1) water or nature (a pool, a beach, forest, parks) 2) good food and 3) an internet connection.  If we are in the city, they need outings like museums (more science or kid based than art) or public parks.

We will never go on a cruise or go to six flags because I don't want to.  But will I take them to Bar Harbor, the Italian Riviera and New York City?  Yes.[/quote]

I feel sad for your kid. No 11 year old prefers the French Riviera to 6 Flags. [/quote]

I think that is a vast generalization. One of my 2 tweens would *absolutely*make that choice. Try some other simplistic generalization next time. [/quote]
