Once-in-a-lifetime destinations

These spots take a bit more planning and lots more funds but are definitely dream-worthy destinations. Our writers share their tips after visiting with their families.

  • Fascinating Iceland became popular with easy direct flights and stopovers from Seattle and it remains a terrific international family vacation spot.
  • This stunning, warm-weather spot is not as easy to get to as Iceland, but it's much cheaper and just as enthralling and beautiful. Our writer predicts it might become the new Iceland for local families.
  • We are lucky enough to have an Irish insider on our ParentMap staff; she's listed out great reasons to visit incredible Ireland with kids.
  • Interested in an international destination that suits families with sensory sensitivities? Here's a vote for Japan.
  • If you're considering Iceland, this guide gets you off the beaten path to even more incredible sights.
