5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best family travel book on the market!, June 2, 1998

By A Customer

I've bought all three editions of this book, and each one has been better than the last. It's full of destination-specific ideas for vacations for all types of families, whether they crave adventure, love history, or merely want to relax at a resort. After looking through this book you'll wonder why you ever wasted a family vacation on Disney World! The authors are particularly attuned to the interests and quirks of children of all different ages -- and the needs of parents, too.

3.0 out of 5 stars East Coast Oriented, May 16, 1999

By A Customer

It's not bad, but it is a bit dated and a bit east coast-centric

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific guide for family vacations, August 6, 1998

By A Customer

We have visited many of the facilities outlined in this book both before and after purchasing it. The reviews are very credible and the ideas are terrific. This really does focus on resorts where you can interact with your children. These people have really done their homework from Alaska to the East Coast and Hawaii based on our experience.
