Summer Road Trip Ideas

July 25, 2014momstownFamily LifeNo comments
It’s not too late to plan a summer Vacation – just hit the road. But where to go? Here are some U.S. Destinations within driving distance of Burlington, Ontario

Vacations sure have changed since we had kids.  It used to be we could plan to hop on a plane, hop in the car or even train it somewhere!  But three kids later – a little more planning needs to go into things – plus a bit of an itinerary!  We just had a discussion on our momstown message board about driving vacations in the United States.  Here are 6 Summer Road Trip Ideas (and how far they are from Burlington)!  Wherever you go this summer – happy travels and drive safe!


2 1/2 hour drive – Rochester:

 

– Museum of Play is a MUST

– Science Centre

– Seneca Zoo

 

plus they have a couple of amusement parks nearby


 

4 hour drive – Cleveland:

 

– Cleveland Zoo

– Cleveland Children's Museum

– Great Lakes Science Centre

Plus they have an aquarium, a botanical gardens, a museum of natural history and more

 


 

5 hour Drive Sandusky Ohio

 

– Great Wolf Lodge

– Cedar Point Amusement Park

– Merry Go Round Museum

– African Safari Wildlife Park

 

Substitute another waterpark instead of Great Wolf Lodge – Kalahari, Maui Sands and Rain Waterpark are all in Sandusky as well!

(We actually recommend combining this trip with Cleveland or Columbus and doing a bit of both!)

 


 

6 Hour Drive – Columbus Ohio

– Columbus Zoo & Aquarium

(both of these are voted in the top ten – even as high as #1 – in the U.S.)

– Zoombezi Bay Waterpark

– Easton Town Centre

 


 

7 Hour Drive – Philadelphia Area

 

– Sesame Place

– Adventure Aquarium

Plus there are zoos and so much within a one hour drive of here!
