Hotel at a Glance: Aqua Soleil Hotel & Mineral Water Spa

More than a century ago, natural hot springs were discovered in the California desert. Today, those hot springs supply the rejuvenating hot tubs and a pool at Aqua Soleil Hotel & Mineral Water Spa. H2O is the focal point of most of the experiences here: the hotel has one main pool and two hot tubs situated in the property’s palm-shaded courtyard.

Desert Hot Springs, California: Spa-Centric Oasis Minutes from Palm Springs

In 1913, settler Cabot Yerxa was digging a well in the San Bernardino foothills when he unearthed natural hot springs bubbling beneath the Californian desert. This area later became known as Desert Hot Springs, a town that’s thrived over the years as a spa-centric getaway thanks to Yerxa’s find. The mineral waters, which hover around 148 degrees and are said to have healing powers, now flow directly into several local spas. Desert Hot Springs’ location, just 12 miles north of Palm Springs and two hours east of Los Angeles, also makes it an easy destination to reach for those looking for a relaxing escape from the big city.

After dark, take advantage of the area’s light-pollution ordinances by driving about 30 miles east to Joshua Tree National Park to stargaze during a night hike. The roughly 800,000-acre park stretches across parts of the Colorado and Mojave Deserts and plays host to some of the country’s most varied wildlife. The five fan-palm oases scattered throughout the park are the best spots to see native animals, such as snakes, bighorn sheep, and black-tailed jackrabbits.

Hollywood, Florida: Quiet Coastal Town with Beachfront Boardwalk

Hollywood is situated just a few miles south of Fort Lauderdale and about a half-hour drive north of Miami, but it’s quite a bit more relaxed than both. The town’s beach boardwalk—named one of the country’s best by Travel + Leisure—stretches along the Atlantic Ocean for 2.5 miles, attracting joggers, bicyclists, and shoppers. To get to the boardwalk from downtown, hop aboard the old-timey trolley that makes runs to the beach. Other Hollywood attractions include the Anne Kolb Nature Center, a 1,500-acre wetland where you can kayak through tidal channels or take walking trails through red-mangrove forests.

The tempo picks up in neighboring Fort Lauderdale, a city famous for its beaches and boats. During the day, water taxis cruise the Intracoastal Waterway, offering up-close views of waterfront mansions and anchored yachts. At night, hit up the upscale bars and restaurants on Las Olas Boulevard.

Herons, roseate spoonbills, and other local waterfowl live at Florida Keys Wild Bird Center, located in Tavernier, the southwestern part of Key Largo. It serves as a sanctuary for birds that have been injured or displaced. Nearby is Harry Harris Park Beach—one of the best beaches in the area, particularly for families. A large coral rock blocks big waves from coming in, so it’s calm enough for kids to play in the surf. There are also a number of grills and picnic tables here.

Mystic, Connecticut: Seaside City with Historic Charm

The small, seaside village of Mystic exudes New England charm.

Here, you can explore a re-created 19th-century village and the world’s last surviving wooden whaleship, the Charles W. Morgan. The interactive shipyard exhibit gives visitors a chance to see what it was like to work in this industry—performers demonstrate maritime skills and perform old seafaring songs. You can even go sailing for real: captain a rowboat or sailboat, or cruise down the Mystic River aboard Sabino, the seaport’s coal-fired steamboat.

Just down the road from the seaport is Olde Mistick Village, which features shops and seafood restaurants designed in the likeness of a colonial New England village circa 1720. Also in the village is Mystic Aquarium, which houses African penguins, New England’s only beluga whales, and Ziggy Star, a rescued northern fur seal. Across the Mystic River is another kind of attraction: the casual pizza shop Mystic Pizza, which served as the setting for the 1988 Julia Roberts film of the same name. Grab a slice before exploring the many surrounding art galleries peppered throughout downtown Mystic.

Lincoln, New Hampshire: New England Town amid White Mountains and Forests

Formerly a mill town, Lincoln is now home to a modest collection of roadside diners and antique shops. But many visitors are drawn to Lincoln for its proximity to the White Mountains. Loon Mountain, the closest peak, looms 3,050 feet above town. The mountain is best known for its ski slopes—there are 61 trails on 370 skiable acres—and one of New Hampshire’s longest gondola rides, which leads to glacial caves and the trails.

Just northeast of town, Franconia Notch State Park boasts the Flume Gorge as well as the former site of the Old Man of the Mountain, a rock formation that remains New Hampshire’s state emblem despite having collapsed in 2003. Photogenic nature scenes can be found at almost every turn here. Birch trees jut out of the cliffs and thick mats of moss sprawl over giant boulders. In winter, blankets of snow add to the air of tranquility.

Niagara Falls, Ontario: Panoramic Views of the Falls near Vegas-Style Casinos and Water Parks

At Niagara Falls, water thunders downward from a height of nearly 200 feet, crashing onto craggy boulders below. The falls straddle the border between Canada and the United States, but the Canadian side of the Niagara River is universally hailed as the finest vantage point to take in all three of Niagara Falls’ photogenic brinks: American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls.

Hornblower cruises ferry raincoat-clad passengers around the base of the falls from April to October, depending on the river’s ice conditions. Year-round, Journey Behind the Falls grants a glimpse behind the curtain of Horseshoe Falls—visitors board an elevator that descends 150 feet into the bedrock, then stand at an observation deck steps from the cascading water. A 10-minute walk from the falls is the neon-lit Clifton Hill neighborhood. Its Fallsview Boulevard has plenty of Vegas-style kitsch, including glitzy casinos and indoor water parks.

Elsewhere, Kyoto’s local marketplaces and restaurants continue the traditions of old Japan, as does the city’s thriving geisha community.

Mystic, Connecticut: Seaside City with Historic Charm

The small, seaside village of Mystic exudes New England charm. Trisected by the Mystic River, Pequotsepos River, and Quiambaug Cove, the town has been an important seaport for many centuries, which is chronicled and celebrated at Mystic Seaport. Here, you can explore a re-created 19th-century village and the world’s last surviving wooden whaleship, the Charles W. Morgan. The interactive shipyard exhibit gives visitors a chance to see what it was like to work in this industry—performers demonstrate maritime skills and perform old seafaring songs. You can even go sailing for real: captain a rowboat or sailboat, or cruise down the Mystic River aboard Sabino, the seaport’s coal-fired steamboat.

Just down the road from the seaport is Olde Mistick Village, which features shops and seafood restaurants designed in the likeness of a colonial New England village circa 1720. Also in the village is Mystic Aquarium, which houses African penguins, New England’s only beluga whales, and Ziggy Star, a rescued northern fur seal. Across the Mystic River is another kind of attraction: the casual pizza shop Mystic Pizza, which served as the setting for the 1988 Julia Roberts film of the same name. Grab a slice before exploring the many surrounding art galleries peppered throughout downtown Mystic.

Lincoln, New Hampshire: New England Town amid White Mountains and Forests

Formerly a mill town, Lincoln is now home to a modest collection of roadside diners and antique shops. But many visitors are drawn to Lincoln for its proximity to the White Mountains. Loon Mountain, the closest peak, looms 3,050 feet above town. The mountain is best known for its ski slopes—there are 61 trails on 370 skiable acres—and one of New Hampshire’s longest gondola rides, which leads to glacial caves and the trails.

Just northeast of town, Franconia Notch State Park boasts the Flume Gorge as well as the former site of the Old Man of the Mountain, a rock formation that remains New Hampshire’s state emblem despite having collapsed in 2003. Photogenic nature scenes can be found at almost every turn here. Birch trees jut out of the cliffs and thick mats of moss sprawl over giant boulders. In winter, blankets of snow add to the air of tranquility.

North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina: Sandy Beaches, Fresh Seafood, and Classic Amusement-Park Rides

North Myrtle Beach is at the tip of South Carolina’s Grand Strand, a 60-mile stretch of white, sandy beaches along the Atlantic seaboard that draws surfers, fishers, and kayakers. The town’s Cherry Grove Pier bustles with activity during the fishing season, and you can rent a rod nearby to take your place alongside veteran anglers. Nearby restaurants serve up fresh, cooked-to-order seafood including crab and shrimp.

About a half-hour southwest of North Myrtle Beach is Myrtle Beach proper, which USA Today named one of the best family vacation spots in the United States. That was in part because of its wooden boardwalk, which stretches for more than 1 mile and buzzes with carnival games and amusement-park rides. Hop into one of the SkyWheel’s glass-floored gondolas, surrounded by more than a million LED lights, for a panoramic view of the city.

Hollywood is situated just a few miles south of Fort Lauderdale and about a half-hour drive north of Miami, but it’s quite a bit more relaxed than both. The town’s beach boardwalk—named one of the country’s best by Travel + Leisure—stretches along the Atlantic Ocean for 2.5 miles, attracting joggers, bicyclists, and shoppers.

The tempo picks up in neighboring Fort Lauderdale, a city famous for its beaches and boats. During the day, water taxis cruise the Intracoastal Waterway, offering up-close views of waterfront mansions and anchored yachts. At night, hit up the upscale bars and restaurants on Las Olas Boulevard.

Niagara Falls, Ontario: Panoramic Views of the Falls near Vegas-Style Casinos and Water Parks

At Niagara Falls, water thunders downward from a height of nearly 200 feet, crashing onto craggy boulders below. The falls straddle the border between Canada and the United States, but the Canadian side of the Niagara River is universally hailed as the finest vantage point to take in all three of Niagara Falls’ photogenic brinks: American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls.

Hornblower cruises ferry raincoat-clad passengers around the base of the falls from April to October, depending on the river’s ice conditions. Year-round, Journey Behind the Falls grants a glimpse behind the curtain of Horseshoe Falls—visitors board an elevator that descends 150 feet into the bedrock, then stand at an observation deck steps from the cascading water.

Property at a Glance: Great Wolf Lodge Grapevine

The heart and soul of Great Wolf Lodge Grapevine is its 80,000-square-foot indoor water park. Splashy rides such as the Howlin’ Tornado—an enclosed water slide that shoots you through a six-story funnel—and a zero-depth-entry wave pool with 3-foot swells surround the park’s iconic hub: a four-story treehouse with a 1,000-gallon tipping bucket. Younger kids will have a blast with the water slides and gentle spray features of Whooping Hollow and Cub Paw Pool.

The water park, which hovers around 84 degrees all year long, isn’t the resort’s only family-friendly activity. You’ll also find an arcade with more than 100 games and Scooops Kid Spa, where visitors can get pedicures while enthroned in a chair shaped like an ice-cream sundae.

• Extended water park access: You can enter the water park at 1 p.m. on the day you check in and stay until close on the day you check out (essentially 2 days’ water park admission).
• Family-friendly fun: The resort has games and activities for kids of all ages. Explore options by age group here.
• Hands-on crafts and activities such as face painting and balloon twisting at Cub Club can keep kids entertained when they want a break from the water park action.
• Roomy suites comfortably sleep up to eight guests in a newly renovated suite. Some suites offer extra privacy with enclosed bunk beds.
• Fuel up with food and drinks at nine restaurants and snack bars.
• Add a Paw Pass or Pup Pass to your stay to enjoy kid-friendly activities and sweets at Creation Station, MagiQuest, and more at a discounted rate. See everything that’s included—as well as other available packages—here (additional fees apply).
• Safety first: Complimentary life jackets in multiple sizes and trained lifeguards help keep families safe and secure.
• Distance from Dallas: 23 miles
