Grandparents, parents, teenagers and younger children often want different things from the same vacation. The easiest solution is not to force every activity to be shared.

Create a few anchor moments

Choose the meals, park days or celebrations that everyone will do together. Leave the rest flexible enough for smaller groups to choose different activities.

Respect different energy levels

A home with several bedrooms and common areas allows one part of the family to rest while another keeps socializing.

Build transportation into the plan

If the group will split often, decide whether one vehicle is enough. Transportation flexibility can matter as much as the attraction list.
