There is no doubt that there are lots of people who are spending thousands of dollars on their one week getaway. But this shouldn't always need to be the case as there are lots of budget travel options that can let anyone save a few bucks when traveling. Anyone can stay on their budgets and still experience a remarkable and fun-filled trip with their families or kids if they only know how to use their creativity and knowledge.
After you get your airplane tickets all set up and the dates you would like to visit Chicago, it is time to book your accommodations. Michigan Avenue and the magnificent mile are the best areas to look at when looking at booking a hotel. There are many good options that are ideal for families like hotels that have suite style rooms and ones that also offer a free breakfast in the rate.
There are lots of online booking websites that allow travelers to check which day has a lower rate and find out what options could be best for you. Getting your ticket earlier or later can help you save some money on the price of your ticket. You may also check the airports that surround both the arrival and the departure city. In most cases, an hour drive or two may be needed to reach the arrival or departure airport but if it can help save you a few bucks on each of your ticket, then it will be worth the drive.
Another great museum in Chicago to take the kids to is the Field Museum of Natural History where one of the largest archeological finds of a T-Rex dinosaur named Sue is located. They also have one of the biggest Egyptian exhibitions with a complete pharaohs burial tomb made of limestone has been reconstructed within the museum and is quite a sight to see. They have quite a few kid friendly interactive sights that appeal to the younger children as well.
Another discount travel trick is to arrange for home exchanges, instead of even paying for lodging. Usually, you will be staying at the home of another family during your visit to that city. By going this route, you are actually saving money both for lodging and, most times too, for food. You can just search online for the destination country's or city's tourism council; they usually have information on home exchanges.
Electric Museum Tram Line
A unique experience. This moving museum takes you all the way to the Amsterdamse Bos while riding on board antique trams. Perfect way to do some sightseeing in the city without getting to tired.
The smart parents take a liberal amount of rest stops. Not only does this keep the kids from pulling each others' hair out, it keeps the drivers fresh. But stopping at rest stops often means coming into contact with the germs other people inadvertently leave behind. Keep your trip from becoming a sickness incubator. Carry hand sanitizers and apply them often. And remember to have anti-bacterial wipes for the accidental messes kids will make in the back seat.
