8 Best Midwest Escapes for Families

One of the best things about the Midwest is the diversity of what you will find there. Every destination is completely different from the next. There’s essentially an unlimited amount of experiences to have in the Midwest.

1. Chicago, Illinois

Per Ava Roxanne Stritt from Spa Travel Gal, Chicago is an excellent destination for the entire family.

From toddlers to teenagers and their parents, there is a wide range of attractions and activities to choose from. Whether you want to be outdoors communing with nature or indoors solving a mystery, you will never get bored. My article offers five activities and locations to help make your trip a memorable one for years to come.  All of them are both fun and economical for families.

The first that I recommend is Millennium Park. This park is open year-round with different activities depending on the season. The kids will want to spend all day here so hopefully you find accommodations nearby. When it’s summertime, let the little ones splash around in the Crown Fountain pool while water pours from the gargoyles. If you visit in spring, take part in a scavenger hunt in Lurie Garden and seek out birds, bees, worms, and dragonflies. It is a great way to teach children about nature. Winter is no dud; that’s when the McCormick Tribune Ice Rink opens with a beautiful view of the lights.

2. Cincinnati, Ohio

Cincinnati, Ohio is a fantastic city with a little bit of everything. They have a great zoo, the Cincinnati Zoo, which you are probably already familiar with (remember Harambe). They have two theme parks, Kind’s Island and Cooney Island. Their playgrounds tend to be quite nice. Highfield Discovery Center inside Glenwood Gardens is incredible. It’s a fantasy playground filled with fairy gardens, trains, a butterfly garden and more. For foodie families, there’s an endless supply of wonderful places to eat. If for some reason you feel like splurging, head to Boca to enjoy an exquisite meal. Check out our Top 15 Things to do in Cincinnati for even more things to do.

3. Door County, Wisconsin

Door County, Wisconsin is a peaceful getaway. Visit in May to beat the summer crowds and benefit from off-season pricing. Not to mention spring will be in full bloom. Enjoy lilacs, cherry blossoms and daffodils.

While there be sure to climb to the top of the Cana Island Lighthouse in Bailey’s Harbor, where you will be rewarded with some of the best views of Lake Michigan’s Door County shoreline.

To score a great photo of the lighthouse walk along the rock-ledge shore.

For those that love wandering down quaint little roads take a pleasurable drive along the hilly two lane peninsula dotted with roadside cherry stands, state parks and small towns.

Along the way stop for a bike ride. There are many scenic trails in the parks lined with wildflowers.

At night, sit under the stars and enjoy an evening production at Peninsula Players Theatre south of Fish Creek.

Door County has an especially good selection of affordable mom-and-pop hotels, including Julie’s Park Cafe and Motel in Fish Creek. From late April to mid-June, and you can get a king room for $70-$80.

4. Kansas City

According to Susan Lanier-Graham of WanderWithWonder.com Kansas City is a fun family destination in the midwest.

This metropolitan area of more than 2 million residents straddles Kansas and Missouri, and offers something for the entire family looking for a fun family vacation destination.

History and Culture of Kansas City

Nothing is better for summer vacation than finding great museums, filled with interesting collections, which also happen to be free. Kansas City has several exceptional examples. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art has more than 35,000 pieces in its collection. Be sure to visit the Egyptian galleries. The museum is open daily except Monday.

The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art is also free and open every day except Monday. The main museum, at 4420 Warwick Blvd., offers a vast array of art. The Kemper Museum App can help you navigate it. Be sure to check out the museum shop and stop by Café Sebastienne for lunch or dinner featuring dishes crafted with produce from local farmers and some colorful artwork of its own.

Kansas City is also home to the country’s only museum dedicated to the First World War. The National World War I Museum & Memorial is a way to make history come alive. You’ll find recreated trenches, videos, original objects, and interactive tables.

Head just out of town to nearby Independence and walk through America’s past at The Harry S. Truman Library & Museum. You can get a taste of life in the 1950s and even see a life-size replica of the Oval Office as it was during Truman’s presidency.

Playing in Kansas City

There are plenty of outdoor activities to keep you entertained during your summer visit to Kansas City. 

Stop by the Richard Petty Driving Experience at The Kansas Speedway to feel the thrill of the steep embankments and let your heart pound as your driver races around the speedway. Junior ride alongs are available for the little racers.

Just 20 minutes from downtown Kansas City, Moon Marble Company lets us all release our inner child. Marble making demonstrations take place at 3 p.m. daily through the summer. Buy beautiful handmade marbles, pick your own colored marbles in rows of bulk bins, and even find some of those classic games and toys of yesteryear.

Kansas City Barbecue is a Necessity

While visiting Kansas City, be sure to try the city’s famous barbecue. With more than 100 barbecue establishments in town, you’ll see that everyone has their favorite BBQ spot. Try one of the five locations of Jack Stack Barbecue, which has been smoking meat since 1957. Try the burnt ends—those crispy pieces cut off the brisket that are filled with the best flavor. Other favorite Kansas City barbecue joints include Arthur Bryant’s and Oklahoma Joe’s.

A summer visit to Kansas City is filled with art, history, food, and fun. The city is also known for its festivals, so no matter which time of year you visit, you can always find family fun in Kansas City.

5. Kenosha, Wisconsin

Oh the Places We Go recommends Kenosha, Wisconsin. Nestled between Milwaukee and Chicago, the small town of Kenosha is one of our favorite getaways with many budget-friendly options – many free!  The Lake Michigan town has a wonderful downtown area with a fun sculpture walk. Don’t feel like walking? Hop on an authentic streetcar trolley ($1/person) that makes its rounds around downtown, then hop off at one (or all) of the museums including the Civil War Museum or our personal favorite, the free Dinosaur Discovery Museum. To add to the experience, don’t miss eating at the train restaurant, Choo Choo Charlie’s which also has a stop nearby.

Since you are right by the lake, you should of course check out the Southport Lighthouse and its museum. If you’re up for a challenge, climb the 72 steps to the top of the lighthouse for fabulous views. Looking for a sweet way to end the weekend? Stop by the Jelly Belly Warehouse for a free factory tour to learn more about the beans. The real highlight though is getting a chance to go on a tram tour through the warehouse. Samples are given, and you’re also able to taste test their Jelly Belly flavors including the Harry Potter ones like dirt and grass.

6. Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Crazy Family Adventure says Milwaukee, Wisconsin is a great place to visit with your family. You can go to Discovery World where you and the kids will spend hours playing with all of the different exhibits that they have from virtual reality to touching sting rays. Before walking over to the Art Museum to check out the kids area and do hands on art projects or walk around and explore the art and the amazing architecture of the building. All of this is located on the beautiful waterfront of Lake Michigan where if the weather is cooperating you can take a bike ride or spend time down by the beach. If you are a sports fan you can catch a Major League baseball game, professional basketball game, NHL game or even a professional soccer game.

Milwaukee is also known for beer and has a lot of great breweries that you can visit with kids! The Sprecher Brewery tour even offers all you can drink soda to keep the kids occupied while Mom and Dad sample the many flavors of beer. The city is home to a variety of restaurants for every food type with delicious food and fun. The Safe House restaurant requires a secret password to get in and AJ Bombers will drop peanuts off at your table from an airplane.

There is also the Harley Davidson Museum, the Milwaukee Public Museum and the Milwaukee Zoo. From indoor fun to outdoor fun there is plenty to keep the whole family busy when you visit Milwaukee.

7. Put-in-Bay, Ohio

Family Travels on a Budget says Put-in-Bay, on Lake Erie in Northwestern Ohio, is an idyllic summer vacation getaway for families.

The fun begins with a ferry ride to the island (leave the car behind). After checking in at your hotel or rental house, discover why people are drawn back year after year. It’s best to explore by bike or golf cart to enjoy the slower pace of the “good old days.” Rent kayaks for water adventures and discover the wildlife of the region. Get budget-friendly day passes to the adventure center and play putt-putt, tour the limestone cave, climb the rock wall, or participate in one of the many other activities.

Learn about the War of 1812 at Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial. As an added bonus, enjoy a picnic lunch on the grounds while you watch the waves — yes, Lake Erie has a surf! In the Harbour Square area, enjoy local cuisine, go window shopping or tour the Chocolate Museum! Yes, a museum dedicated to chocolate! We love Put-in-Bay for its slower pace — golf carts! And we also appreciate how budget-friendly it is — attractions are reasonably priced. Weekday lodging is discounted for added savings (and often includes a free golf cart rental). With so much to do and a relaxed pace, Put-in-Bay makes an ideal summer getaway for families.

8. Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota

Minneapolis, Minnesota is a fantastic Midwest getaway for families, offering a perfect blend of outdoor adventures, cultural experiences, and kid-friendly attractions. Known for its beautiful lakes and green spaces, families can start their visit with a stroll around Lake Harriet or a bike ride along the scenic Chain of Lakes. During the warmer months, Minnehaha Falls is a must-see, with its picturesque waterfall and nearby playgrounds providing the perfect spot for kids to burn off energy.

For indoor fun, families can head to the Minnesota Children’s Museum in nearby St. Paul, where hands-on exhibits let kids explore and create. The Science Museum of Minnesota is another hit, with interactive exhibits on dinosaurs, space, and even a giant astronaut suit that kids can climb into. Sports-loving families can catch a Minnesota Twins game at Target Field or check out a Minnesota Timberwolves game if basketball is more their speed.

No family trip to Minneapolis is complete without a visit to the Mall of America. It’s not just a shopping destination—it’s home to Nickelodeon Universe, the largest indoor theme park in North America, featuring roller coasters, rides, and character meet-and-greets. Nearby, the SEA LIFE Minnesota Aquarium lets kids get up close with sharks and sea turtles. Add in a thriving food scene with plenty of kid-friendly options (hello, cheese curds!), and Minneapolis becomes the ideal family-friendly Midwest escape.

Get Travel Insurance

Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that can go wrong on any trip. Be prepared for the worst with travel insurance. We use Travelex or Safety Wing (often cheaper).

Book Flights

I use Skyscanner to find flights. I use it so much, I wrote an entire guide to finding cheap flights with Skyscanner! Another option for finding deals is FlightHub.

Book a Place to Stay

I recommend using Expedia.com or Hotels.com for most hotel bookings. I prefer to book directly with Marriott when I stay there because of their excellent military discount.

If you prefer staying in a vacation rental instead, I recommend VRBO. If you are looking for a hostel, I use HostelWorld.

Choose Activities and Tours

To find great activities in any area I use Viator. If we are visiting a city with lots of popular attractions I always check CityPass, PogoPass, and GoCard to see if they have discount cards available. Groupon also tends to have a lot of local travel deals.

When I want to book a full-on multi-day tour I use TourRadar. They’ve got fantastic weekly deals. If going somewhere in Mexico or the Caribbean, I use Apple Vacations.

Rent a Car or Get a Lyft

More often than not, Lyft is cheaper than Uber. Use my Lyft link for an $18 credit! For a car rental in any country, I recommend Hertz or Discover Cars.

The city is known for its numerous beaches and its wide variety of fishes in the lake. The lake covers almost 5262 acres of land, is 7.6 miles long, and approximately 2.1 miles wide. It’s spring-fed and homes several delicious fishes like northern pike, walleye, lake trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass, and many others. It has options when it comes to beaches so you can relax and enjoy the day under the shiny sun at different beaches each day.

Lake Geneva Beach Guide

Lake Geneva has a total of three different beaches which are open to the public. These beaches are highly secure — they have lifeguards, swimming piers, life jackets, restrooms, and other amenities.

Riviera Beach

This is one of the most famous beaches in the city. It’s located in the heart of Lake Geneva and has ever-blue pristine waters, the gleaming sun, sandy white beaches, and the scenic landscapes of the beach.

Riviera Beach is located on Wrigley Drive, at a slight distance from the Lake Geneva Library, Geneva Lake Shore Path, and downtown.

The beach charges you for entry, but children who are six years old or under can enter for free at no cost.

Fontana Beach

Fontana beach is only about a 20 minutes drive to the west of Lake Geneva. This particular beach is perfect for people who want to deal with fewer crowds and for those who enjoy water activities like kayaking.

The beach has a wide grassy area on the side and also has changing rooms on the premises. There is a parking lot right next to the beach however you will have to pay for parking your car there.

Fontana is a small peaceful village which is located right next to the city. It is filled with small shops and cafes, which is quite convenient, especially if you want something peaceful after an exhausting day of physical activity.

You can also fish there as well. If you’re on vacation and didn’t bring fishing equipment along, you’ll be able to rent it from the many local shops nearby.

The city is a marvel on its own, which is why it’s one of the most famous resorts and recreation destinations in the USA.

The event includes special menus from all the top-notch restaurants in the city.
