In reply to Hayley. It's hard to get more different than Florida and Oregon, haha—but that's one great thing about the US: Its regions are so diverse.

In reply to Anna Schaeffer. Oh my gosh you're so right! The Oregon Country Fair draws tens of thousands of people to the Eugene, Oregon area every year. It's not necessarily my scene—I'm not a huge fan of crowds—but it's a beloved annual event.

Great guide! Only ever been to Florida in USA by would love to do more of it! Oregan sounds like a good option with a lot to do!

In reply to Jasmine. I'm obviously biased, but the Pacific Northwest is seriously the best. There is SO much to do, see, explore (and of course eat and drink). I hope you make it out this way soon!

In reply to Baia. Yes! Most of these activities are great for adults and kids alike. Sometimes it's nice to have the children as an "excuse" to goof off!

In reply to Candy. Water fun is seriously the best! I get in the fountains with my kids, too. :)

In reply to Beth Anne. You make such a good point that children with different needs are sometimes left out of fun opportunities. I try to make a point of finding sensory-friendly activities on my blog, but I realized I didn't point out which ones in this list would be good for that. Thanks for the reminder: I'll go back in and make some additions!

Wow! I would have loved all of these activities as a child! You have found sooo many fun things to do. I can totally see this is worth the two hour drive!!

Picking fruit, getting soaked in fountains and then meeting raptors sounds like a perfect family day!!

What a fabulous idea for a post. My son has autism so school holidays are a bit hit and miss for us because everywhere gets so busy, but I love the variety of options you’ve covered
