Planning Your Next Family Vacation? Here Are Some Memory-Making Destinations

A family vacation sounds fun — until you remember all the scheduling, packing, and non-stop entertaining to be planned. But when things work? They really work. The right trips can turn into core memories. The key is choosing destinations that feel doable for families, not like another project to manage.

When it comes to planning trips that actually feel worth it, the Chase IHG One Rewards Traveler Credit Card can help by earning rewards on everyday purchases and travel purchases. Using the card, you can accumulate points to redeem for stays at more than 6,800 IHG Hotels & Resorts around the world.

And did we mention? There's even a limited time offer available that earns you up to 120,000 bonus points after qualifying purchases. Don't miss out, this offer ends March 18th, 2026.

Read on for three memory-making destinations that will keep everyone happy… your littlest, your spouse, and especially you.

Bar Harbor, Maine: Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor - Acadia National Park
Bar Harbor, Maine: Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor - Acadia National Park

A New England summer getaway is the stuff family photo albums are made of, and Bar Harbor, Maine ticks all the boxes: seal-spotting and whale watching for the kids, charming little shops for the parents, and enough fresh Maine seafood to crack your too-cool-for-school teen out of their shell. Shack up at the Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor - Acadia National Park, which has two (!!) pools, kid-friendly menus, and is perfectly walkable from downtown. It's the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the 4th Night Free Traveler card benefit when you redeem your points for a four-night consecutive stay.

Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Lake Buena Vista
Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Lake Buena Vista

If your family vacation plans involve theme parks and strollers, the Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Lake Buena Vista is perfect. The resort takes some of the pressure off the "park-to-park" shuffle with family-friendly infrastructure, like a free shuttle to the surrounding amusement parks and on-site. Plus, there's plenty to keep everyone entertained back at the hotel, from poolside movies to arcade time. And using the Traveler card earns you 17X total points for the hotel stay, allowing you to reach your rewards sooner. Especially since those Orlando days add up fast.

La Verkin, Utah: Holiday Inn La Verkin - Zion Park
La Verkin, Utah: Holiday Inn La Verkin - Zion Park

Holiday Inn La Verkin is located just a short drive from Zion National Park — and within reach of Bryce Canyon and other Southwestern standouts — it's an easy launch pad for outdoor adventures that feel memorable. Traveler cardmembers can earn 3X points on dining, gas stations, utilities, cable and phone services, and select streaming services and 2X points on all other purchases. It's a solid pick for families who want nature to be the main event — without sacrificing comfort, convenience, or a decent night's sleep.
