Planning a vacation for the entire family spanning multiple generations can feel like a logistical puzzle. Different interests, activity levels, and comfort needs collide, often leaving someone unhappy. But when done right, multi-generational trips spark core memories that last a lifetime.

The key? Choosing destinations that blend comfort, variety, and accessibility for all age groups.
