Summer is here and everyone in your family is wondering, “Where are we going on vacation?” Whether you’re looking to cool off at a water park, catch some thrills at a theme park or find a more educational destination for your kids, you’ll find it out west!

We’ve got thrill rides, wild animals, water fun, great shopping, delicious food and so much more. You’ll find fun for all ages at these fun destinations, so pack your bags and hop in the car (or on a plane, a train or a bus) and have a great time!

If you have a favorite theme park, zoo, water park or other fun destination that isn’t on this list, send me an email and I’ll be happy to add it!
