Best Places to visit in Mumbai

Many (if not all) children cringe when they hear the word “museum”. Why? Well, that’s simple. Museums are boring to them! They can’t touch anything and they have to be quiet! Children deserve and do better with a hands-on and fun experience when it comes to learning. Take your child to one of the exhibits if you’re nearby!

1. The National Museum of Play (Rochester, New York) – This museum has something for all ages. Neither you nor your child will want to leave this land of wonderment.
2. The Delaware Children’s Museum (Wilmington, Delaware) – This museum has a 30-foot climbing structure for the active kids, an art studio for the mellow kids, and everything in between.
3. The Children’s Museum of the Arts (New York, New York) – This museum does a great job at inspiring your child to be creative and think outside of the box. It helps develop very important life skills.
4. The International Spy Museum (Washington, DC) – This super cool museum is all about spies and their gadgets! The gift shop is something that you won’t want to skip!
5. The California Academy of Sciences (San Francisco, California) – Experience an aquarium, a planetarium, and a natural history museum all in the same place! Kids can touch sea stars and other amazing animals!
6. The Montreal Bio-Dome (Montreal, Quebec) – Travel to all of the different regions without taking a flight. Your kid will get to see different ecosystems under one roof.
7. Dinosaur Ridge (Morrison, Colorado) – Hike to see real dinosaur footprints. You can take a tour while you learn about what life was like 100 million years ago. Why not dig some fossils afterwards?
8. The Brooklyn Children’s Museum (Brooklyn, New York) – This is the first children’s museum in the country. After undergoing extensive reconstruction you can now take your kids to do more great things to boost their learning potential!
9. The Skirball Cultural Center (Los Angeles, CA) - Take your kids to explore the 8,000 square foot Noah’s Ark exhibit. Skirball hosts many different family programs on the weekends as well.
10. Port Discovery (Baltimore, Maryland) – This museum is perfect for tiny tots and kids of all ages. It has many different activities to offer with many different ways for your children to navigate through them.

You're married and you and the spouse need to get away for awhile? There is always a romantic getaway out there for couples who just want to spend time alone and not have to worry about anything else going on. A vacation that will give them extra spark in their relationship and bring them closer to each other than they may have felt before.

For instance, a honeymoon suite at a hotel / spa could be a great destination to get couples massages and enjoy the relaxing times together. It leads to great communication and a way to be close together with nobody there to bother.

If a romantic getaway is what you are looking for, research places that don't allow kids and focus on the whole rest and relaxation of a vacation. You'll probably want a location with a nice restaurant as well so you can have a nice dinner together before spending your night relaxing at the spa.

When it is time to get away with the entire family, there are plenty of options out there, but the best one is probably a cruise designed specifically for families like a Disney Cruise. Having an area that the kids can truly enjoy, rather than other adult targeted cruise, will ensure that everyone gets something out of the trip and goes home extremely happy.

Taking the whole family on a cruise can be very fun, especially picking the right cruise line and destination. Movies by the pool, character meetings, family clubs and more are all activities that the entire family can enjoy.

What could be much better than having a great time where you can bond with your kids more and watch them have a great time? Vacation isn't always about relaxing, but having a great time to enjoy and experience new things. A family cruise is the best way to do all of that.

Relaxation is the name of the game when it comes to getting away from everything going on in your life, so why not find a nice, relaxing location to head to when you are feeling the stresses of work? It doesn't have to be somewhere that you go to when you take a vacation. It could be a simple place down the block from where you live, as long as you can relax.

Many locations offer different treatments that will leave you feeling like the weight of the world has been lifted off your shoulders. Hot stone massages, mud baths, facial cleanser, Swedish massage; there are so many different options that you can choose from.

Relax and rejuvenate any way you want when it comes to your leisure because you deserve to have less worry in your life. Just make sure that you enjoy every moment of it and you return should you ever succumb to the stress and hardships of life's obstacles again.

The work is behind you and you are officially on vacation; what are you going to do? It's called leisure for a reason and it's your time to get away from work, struggles and stress for a while and clear your mind of everything that is going on. It's time to treat yourself to a trip to the spa for some massaging, cleansing and pure bliss.

Going to a spa will bring out all of the tension in your body and release you from the pains and worries that build up over stressful things like work and bills. It gives you a feeling that nothing is wrong in the world and that you can stay like that forever.

When looking for a spa, know what kind of treatments they offer as well as reviews of those treatments because there are times when they don't work as well as another spa in the area. As long as they have happy customers from the past, you'll know that it is a place to go and get your leisure your way.

Certain seasons will call for vacationers to prepare different ways, obviously, changing what kind of clothes you pack, what your plans may be and everything else. And of course, different seasons could mean completely different things depending on the region you are vacationing to so you want to do your research before you take off.

Although, depending on where you are planning on vacationing, certain seasons are considered to be the best by the locals there, so that could be something to look into as well. Or if the location is somewhere that is cold nearly all year, you will want to prepare for that.

Vacationing is supposed to be about having time off from all the stress and struggles, so be sure to plan the time and season correctly for the destination you want to go and it could make a huge difference in how much you enjoy yourself.
