Today's teenagers can be sullen, demanding and, dare we say bratty, and as a parent of teens myself, I can identify with what you may be going through. Put it this way - an vacation with a teenager (or teenagers) can potentially turn out to be like a cross between an adventure movie and a disaster movie. Because they may be prone to doing so beyond your control or theirs if you do not choose the right destination for your big getaway. This will help prevent boredom, an unhappy teen and happy traveling for everyone.
When selecting destinations for your holidays, choosing a destination focusing on teens requires you to consider you child's interests, likes and dislikes. Check for all the pertinent information on each destination - how are the facilities, and are there any special perks or fun activities? Keep your child's enjoyment above yours - you may enjoy golf but your teen may consider it the epitome of "uncool."
Theme parks and amusement parks are popular destinations that tend to cater to teenagers more than others. While there are amusement parks you can visit over the span of one day, other amusement park resorts may take the entire vacation to fully enjoy. Aside from the obvious (Disneyland and Disney World), you can also include resorts like Orlando Studios. And Six Flags too - the good thing about their accommodations is that you can choose between hotel and on-site camping.
White water rafting is another great choice for holidays with teens. Some of the states that offer the best rafting tours include Colorado, Utah, Idaho and West Virginia, although they are available all across the USA. White water rafting is exciting and promises a rollicking adventure for everybody, but chances are your child would not have the requisite experience for this, neither would you. When in doubt, see if you can go on a guided tour to guarantee everybody's safety.
Unless you're thinking 30-40 years into the future, you'll never see Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga or Fall Out Boy performing on a cruise ship, but believe it or not, cruises can be "cool" not just for you, but for your teenagers as well. Cruise ships travel to various destinations, not the least Europe and the Caribbean islands. As for your teenagers, they can keep themselves preoccupied watching the latest movies, playing video games, swimming or even dancing with the other teens onboard. So if you think your teen(s) will enjoy a cruise, read up on the different amenities and check if the available activities will suit them.
We cannot underscore the importance of factoring in your teenager's preferences. Don't shut them out from your decision-making - allow them to plan your vacation as well. Do not think of this as giving them too much free reign - after all, you want them to enjoy the trip as much as you do. This will be time well spent in many ways.
The most important thing you can do as a parent would be very simple, yet very essential in determining whether the destination is just right - research. At the end of the day, you and your teen(s) will find yourselves agreeing that you have indeed had the best vacation ever!
