Our advice on preparing for your family holiday in the USA
Family travel to the U.S. means a comfortable, well-organized adventure. Before you leave, remember to check your formalities: a valid biometric passport is required for each member of the family, as well as an ESTA authorization to be requested online at least 72 hours before departure.
As Florida is a vast country, it’s best to choose your itinerary according to the age of your children and the time of year. Florida is ideal in winter, California is pleasant all year round, while the western parks are spectacular in spring or autumn. Remember to adjust to the time difference: the United States has several time zones, which may require a few days of adjustment for the little ones.
Families are very welcome. Cities are generally well-equipped for strollers, restaurants offer children’s menus and hotels often provide services dedicated to young travelers. To explore in complete freedom, the car remains the most practical means of transport, especially in the West or to visit the national parks. Also, in American restaurants, tips are the waiters’ wages, so you should allow for an additional 15-20% of the price of your meal.
Gastronomy: a treat for little gourmets
Burgers, pancakes and cookies may be the stars of the American plate, but the United States has a much richer gastronomy than you might think. Each region has its own specialities: the lobster roll in New England, Californian tacos, Louisiana gumbo or New Orleans beignets will delight curious taste buds.
Many restaurants offer children’s menus, and the generous portions are often a hit with families.
