While school is now in session for many, families already have the itch to travel again. Discover five destinations for fall break vacations your entire family can come along for.

1. Flagstaff, Arizona

Multi-generational travelers flock to Flagstaff for the city’s phenomenal weather, ponderosa pine forests and outdoor activities. Plan your fall break trip to this northern Arizona destination and discover ancient Native American pueblo sites, the Lowell Observatory and a variety of hiking trails for every member of your family.

2. Bozeman, Montana

Enjoy the Rocky Mountains when you stay in Bozeman, Montana this fall break. Bozeman is famous for its diverse collection of dinosaur specimens, many of which were found right in Montana. Go back millions of years when you hike along the Montana Dino Trail, a statewide trail covering fourteen historic locations, exhibits, programs and dig sites.

3. Halifax, Nova Scotia

Halifax, the capital city of Nova Scotia, is a blend of rural and urban Canada. The city offers a variety of tailored activities and experiences, from water sports like boating and surfing to tours of Halifax’s foodie and brewery scene. However you choose to spend your time in this coastal city, you’re sure to have a great time.

4. Waterbury, Vermont

Trickling rivers, quaint cider mills and an ice cream graveyard are all waiting for you in Waterbury, Vermont. This quintessential autumn town may have a population just over 5,000, but thanks to ice cream giant Ben & Jerry’s, Waterbury is known far and wide. During your trip to the town, tour a local brewery, glass blowing studio or coffee roaster to discover the true charm of the Northeast.

5. Victoria, British Columbia

Located on the southern edge of Vancouver Island, Victoria is a vibrant city home to the Butchart Gardens, the Royal BC Museum, Craigdarroch Castle and the British Columbia Parliament building. Experience British Columbia’s capital city when you visit Victoria this fall.
