5 family-friendly vacations that won't break the bank

Tour America’s National Parks


For less than the cost of one Disney World ticket, families can buy an $80 annual pass that covers entrance fees at national parks across the country. There’s a national park in every region, from the Badlands of South Dakota to the Great Smoky Mountains along North Carolina and Tennessee. Kid-friendly activities at the national parks include biking, boating, hiking and horseback riding. And forget the expense of a hotel—experience the great outdoors by camping under the stars.
