500 Places to Take Your Kids Before They Grow Up

Every parent ought to know that a well-traveled child will grow up into a well-adjusted, socialized, and cultured adult. With the whole wide world out there, beyond the United Kingdom, there are so many

different places for parents to take their children that it might be quite difficult to choose. Holly Hughes has attacked this very issue by writing 500 Places to Take Your Kids Before They Grow Up (published by Frommer's).

This well-written guide helps parents get their children away from the television and video games and out into the world learning about different regions, cultures, and spending some good, old-fashioned quality time with Mum and Dad. 500 Places to Take Your Kids Before They Grow Up is a fascinating guidebook for parents and children alike. It could be recommended that parents and kids read through the book together while planning the next family holiday. Simply flipping through the pages alone will inspire the urge to travel and to see the world; some of which isn't so far off from the good old U.K.

In writing this book, Hughes approaches each destination through an adventurous eye which makes it quite an enjoyable though informative read. She presents each trip in a way that a child might appreciate it by suggesting, for example, that the family see Germany by following the footsteps of those wonderful Brothers Grimm fairytales. Almost every page of 500 Places to Take Your Kids Before They Grow Up is filled with colour photographs of each place to give you and your child an idea of what the destination looks like. These fabulous photos only inspire more interest in travel.

500 Places to Take Your Kids Before They Grow Up is an excellently detailed and fun guidebook for not only parents and children but for grandparents, aunts, uncles, and extended family to partake in creating memories that will last a lifetime. Hughes outlines dozens of cities, beaches, castles, zoos, museums, sports shrines, and natural wonders all over the globe that will appeal to adults and kids alike. All destinations are listed in a geographical index as well as a specialty index to help families plan their trips accordingly.

In addition to suggesting a thoughtful list of prospective destinations, Hughes also takes care to include details such as kid-friendly hotels, age ratings, service details, and other helpful information related to each entry in the book. 500 Places to Take Your Kids Before They Grow Up is filled with brilliant and original travel ideas which every parent should know.
