While Orlando boasts the most family activities (4.31 per 100,000 people), Clearwater offers a good balance of affordability, safety, and activities (3.98 per 100,000 people).

This study provides valuable insights for families planning vacations. Clearwater, along with other top-ranked cities, offers a safe, affordable, and activity-filled environment for a memorable family trip.

“There is huge pressure on families to book cost-effective, fun vacations that cater to all ages. You have to consider affordability, activities, and safety to book a trip that doesn’t break the bank.

“Florida’s got the crown. Florida appears to be the most family-friendly state in the country, with three of the top cities located there. It’s home to theme parks, beaches, affordable accommodation, and more. Florida’s stranglehold over domestic and international family vacations remains clear,” said Shayne Fitz-Coy, CEO of Rustic Pathways .
