Mostly A’s: The beach. Your family believes vacation is for relaxation, and the best place to relax is right next to a large body of water. You’re sure to have an amazing time swimming, building sandcastles and taking leisurely sunset strolls along the waterfront. Don’t forget the sunscreen!
Mostly B’s: A theme park. Satisfy kids and kids-at-heart with a magical week of riding coasters and posing with characters.
Mostly C’s: The great outdoors. Your family loves being outside as much as possible, so choose your destination accordingly. For amazing hikes and breathtaking scenery, consider visiting a national park. Of course, if your budget demands you stick with a smaller scale adventure, you can always skip the plane flight and take a road trip to the Canadian Rockies in our own back yard.
Mostly D’s: The city. You like to see new sights, meet new people and try new foods. Choosing a major city as your base of operations will ensure your family has plenty to do, day and night.
