Nickey4271647545519 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I'll second mammoth cave. Gatlinburg area wouldn't be bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimpsy1647545505 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I don't know what your budget is like but Chicago is a great time. My wife and I just went there. They have the pier which has a ton of kid friendly activities/games (they had a wiiU exhibit on display that parents/kids could drop by and play with character cutouts and crap... and just a ton of other stuff on the pier (rides/games/funhouses/mazes). Then you have downtown Chicago with boat tours every hour which is a good time for kids. Anyway...hope you have fun wherever you go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GilbWs6 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Loved Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. Went in May for the first time. Rented a cabin that was capable of sleeping ~6. Was able to take the dog and keep him in the cabin with us. 4 nights for under $700. Cabin Fever Vacations was the rental agency. Had two jacuzzi tubs and a hot tub. Plenty of stuff to do for everyone. Took us about 6 hours to drive there. Will be going back either this September or May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed with the same company 2 years ago however it was my whole family so we had like 13 people in one cabin. Compare the price with hotels and it was alot cheaper. That area is definitely more kids/family oriented for vacations and thus some things were a bit expensive but we all had a lot of fun i would definitely recommend it.

Love that place. ^^ this. we used a cabin rental agency last year and had a blast. costs are all relative on what you want and where you stay and what you do. ours wasn't cheap but it was fun as hell.

downingracing Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 When my kids were little, we went to cedar point often and they had a blast. Plenty of places to stay close (or even in the park) which makes naps easy. Come and go as you please and tons for little kids to do. Close to home and cheap(ish). With that 4 day timeframe, close to home leaves more time for 'vacation' and less travel time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
