lanning a family summer getaway? Look no further than Embassy Suites
Hotels, the brand known for giving guests more during every stay, and travel
expert and television host Samantha Brown – experts in family travel. Together,
they created this guide of top family travel spots, local must-see and must-do
activities and insider tips on how to do, see and experience more this summer.
Embassy Suites is also helping families get 300% more enjoyment out of every
trip with its 300% MORE Pledge. Yes, that’s right. 300% MORE. And to start,
ESH is crowning three new summer holidays – or as we call them, MORE-days
– that give families 300% MORE excuses to hit the road and explore
somewhere new.

July summer day
Look for three times the enjoyment every day, all summer long with Embassy
Suites’ hallmark amenities that give your family the energy and the foundation
for a terrific trip.
The daily cooked-to-order breakfast gives families the Energy
Assurance that they’ll get the right start to tackle a packed
trip agenda.
Two-room suites offer the Tantrum-Free Advantage where
separate sleeping areas for parents and children translate to
more restful sleep and fuss-free days.
The Complimentary Evening Reception’s Pick-Us-Up Promise
offers free drinks and snacks that can help bridge the gap from
the day’s activities to dinner without any meltdowns.

Tips from Samantha
The Georgia Aquarium offers once-in-a-lifetime experiences like
actually getting in the aquarium tank and swimming alongside its
25ft long whale sharks or having a hands-on encounter in an interactive
tank with Beluga whales.
While in Atlanta take your kids on a trip down memory lane at Varsity Drive-In. Order burgers
and fries from a car hop and have them delivered to your car window at a place that’s been
open since 1928.

ocated on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan, The Windy City
offers families a rich, multicultural and cosmopolitan environment
alongside some of the best beaches in the country. Renowned for its
sports fans, beautiful lakeside setting and deep-dish pizza, this city is
great for family fun!
SHEDD AQUARIUM – Dive into an
underwater world unlike anything your family
has ever experienced.
CHICAGO CHILDREN’S MUSEUM – Embark
on a learning adventure where play and
learning connect.
LINCOLN PARK ZOO – Check out the zoo’s
newest arrivals including two tiny takins, two
gorillas and a Moholi bush baby.
ADLER PLANETARIUM – Learn about current
NASA missions, discover the Milky Way and
investigate what lies beyond in nine exhibitions
and multiple theaters.
OAK STREET BEACH – Visit this kid-friendly
beach area to cool off on a hot day and
challenge the kids to a game of beach
volleyball or Frisbee.
Tips from Samantha
Oak Street beach is the family favorite because it has amenities
that the other beaches don’t have like restrooms, lifeguards and a
“Beachstro” for pick-me-up snacks and lunch.
Another great place to cool off is at the Crown Fountain in Millennium Park. The fountain is
actually made of two large video screens on either side of a play area. The video shows faces of
people of all different ethnicities, but be careful; when their mouths open out comes the water! It’s
a place of joy and fun as the kids and adults take off their shoes and splash around.

Kids will get a thrill comparing their footprints with that of
dinosaurs that roamed the land over 68 million years ago. Dinosaur
Ridge is just 15 minutes outside of the city and has 100s of tracks to
explore and even the bones of a Stegosaurus and Brontosaurus.
The 16th Street Mall is a mile-long pedestrian promenade lined with shops, cafés and kidfriendly restaurants. There’s art and sculpture that kids will love. They can interact with things
like a herd of colorfully painted buffalo or outdoor pianos.

AUDUBON BUTTERFLY GARDEN AND
INSECTARIUM – Discover 900,000-plus

Tips from Samantha
The gross-out factor always rates high with kids so while at the
Audubon Insectarium skip lunch and attend one of the show times
of Bug Appetite! You’ll be treated to a buffet of edible bugs like
“six-legged” salsa, “red beans and yikes” and chocolate “chirp” cookies.
Yes you can take your kids to a jazz club. The famous Preservation Hall has a family-friendly
policy of no drinking or smoking. Shows start at 8 PM which is pretty early for jazz musicians.
This is a great way to introduce your kids to an American treasure.

GATORLAND – Fly down zip lines and get
up close and personal with gators at this
110-acre theme park and wildlife preserve.
Tips from Samantha
Beating the crowds becomes a sport in Orlando. One way to do it
is if you’re staying within a theme park, see if you can see the
fireworks from your hotel. This allows you to leave the park before they
start, beat the crowds home and watch from the comfort of your own hotel. If you’re driving, you
can still see the fireworks from the parking lot and even hear the music.

This city has the largest collection of outdoor murals in the world!

Strict museum rules don’t apply here and kids will love seeing the
massive paintings while jumping, yelling and enjoying another museum no, no – eating ice cream.

Tips from Samantha
El Mercado is a family must do! With piñatas dangling above,
gargantuan sombreros, guitars and Mexican candy, this is a shopping
experience both you and your kids will be delighted and energized by.
Just remember it’s nearly impossible to pack a piñata.
The Twilight Family tour at the San Antonio Zoo is a relaxed way to see the animals once the
day has quieted down. The crowds and the heat are gone but the animals come to life as their
feeding time begins!

Seaport Village is a totally stroll-able 14 acres along the water
with beautiful views. Parents love the unique shops and free
concerts on Sundays and kids can’t get enough of rides on a hand carved
carousel from 1895. There’s also a face painter and balloon artist to keep everyone entertained.
The GasLamp Quarter is the historic district and its compact 16 blocks makes it easy to walk
around. From here you can catch a friendly trolley ride to the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Gardens.
San Diego has a beach for everyone–even dogs! For a beach experience unlike any other head to
Ocean Beach Dog Beach where on the weekends 100’s of dogs (and their owners) leave their

The main “takeaway” of The City Museum is not to take yourself
so seriously. With history lessons like “Corn Dogs through the
Ages” and a rooftop Ferris Wheel called Big Eli even parents get to act
like kids again.

Tips from Samantha
The Discovery Room in the Museum of Natural History
is a mom favorite because it gives kids a chance to touch and
parents a place to sit down! Kids can feel the skin of an alligator, look at
skeletons and try on costumes from around the world. Arrive early in the morning or late in the
afternoon to avoid crowds.
Kayaking along the Potomac is a wonderful way for families to see the monuments of our Capital
from a completely different perspective. The Key Bridge Boathouse in Georgetown has been in
operation for 68 years and has two-person kayaks so parents can double up with younger children.
