\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Destination: <\/strong>A lot of Caribbean destinations lay claim to being a \u201ctropical paradise\u201d \u2014 but the term may as well have been invented to describe the Cayman Islands<\/a>. With white-sand beaches, sparkling waters and an elegant ambiance, Grand Cayman is an ideal winter escape, with temperatures that generally stay in the mid-70s to low-80s throughout the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can\u2019t Miss Kids Activity: <\/strong>For an unforgettable aquatic experience, pay a visit to Stingray City. Located on Grand Cayman\u2019s scenic north shore, the sandbars here are filled with \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 stingrays. These gentle creatures swim around visitors in three-foot deep, crystal-clear waters, making for an incredible eco-adventure for all ages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where To Stay:<\/strong> Morritt\u2019s Tortuga Club<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Destination: <\/strong>San Diego<\/a> is a year-round playground, but the southern California city really shines in the winter, thanks to fewer crowds and cooler temps. There are countless San Diego attractions that kids will love, from the San Diego Zoo to SeaWorld to LEGOLAND. But the miles and miles of pristine coastline may be the city\u2019s greatest draw, whether you\u2019re splashing in the waves at Ocean Beach or checking out the resident sea lions in La Jolla. The endless summer is real in San Diego! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Destination: <\/strong>If you\u2019re looking to really<\/em> get away from it all during the colder months, Hawaii won\u2019t disappoint. You\u2019ve got plenty of options, but Maui<\/a> might be the best Hawaiian island during the winter (ho\u02bboilo<\/em> to locals). The water is still warm, the beaches are less packed, and the climate is just about perfect. Maui is renowned for its eco-adventures, with lush rainforests, gorgeous waterfalls and plenty of chances to see wildlife. Speaking of wildlife, winter is great for whale watching, with roughly 12,000 humpback whales enjoying a little winter vacation just like you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the kids are Jurassic Park fans, make sure to stop at the Garden of Eden Arboretum where parts of the original movie were filmed. Keep an eye out for velociraptors! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
