If one of your little one’s birthdays is coming up, you’re probably trying to figure out a gift you can get for them that they’ll be able to treasure for a lifetime – so, why not give them the gift of incredible memories that they can look back on for years to come? By getting them a special getaway trip for their birthday, the whole family can get involved and everyone is sure to have a fantastic time.
If you can’t quite stretch to a trip away this year, you can always check out fun gifts suitable for their age range online – for example, see gifts for girls that are 8 years old here. Now let’s take a look at some great destinations for families with children!
Disneyland
Number one on the list and sure to impress any child is the one and only Disneyland. Having said that, there are actually twelve Disney parks across six resorts throughout the world. So whether you want to go to the closest one, or have your heart set on a specific one, the choice is yours.

Safari in South Africa
Does the birthday boy or girl love animals? Well, what better gift to give them than a visit to see wild cheetahs, lions, and zebras out in their natural habitat. They’ll be in awe seeing them so up close on an unforgettable trip. You’ll have a great time too – going on a real safari is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Rome, Italy
Rome is a fabulous all-rounder for a trip with the kids, as you’ve got so much to see and do, from visiting the historic sites, checking out the high-end fashion, and sampling the amazing local food – think of the pizza, pasta, and gelato! Go to the colosseum and the kids can get a taste of what it’s like to be a gladiator for the day, whilst learning about the history along the way.
Lapland, Finland
If it’s the right season for it, a trip to Lapland around the festive period is not an opportunity to miss. Whilst there, you have the chance to marvel at the northern lights, go husky sledding, and of course, see Santa Claus in all his glory! This would certainly be a trip to remember forever, for you and them.
The most important thing when it comes to gift-giving is the thought that you put in. Therefore, you must ensure that where you decide to go is definitely somewhere your kids want to visit, not just somewhere you can get a suntan! Talk to them and see if you can find out if there’s anywhere they’d love to visit before you book.
