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.

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

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.

Pretty useless. Should more properly be titled "Great Family Resorts", as that is what it principly addresses. Has some information about seperate activities (at the resorts) for children, but very little pertaining to "family" vacations. Found information about locations with which I am familiar to be misleading or just plain wrong (ex., Calling Hilton Head Island "unspoiled" is about like saying that Manhattan is in its natural state as acquired from the Indians).
