Planning a trip around a local custom or traveling display is a great way to learn about the local culture and discover festivals and events that you might not be able to attend elsewhere. Local tourist and community websites are great places to look when making trip plans.

 

Go to museums

Museums are the best places to learn about a place’s people, traditions, geography, and history, as well as historic buildings and locations. Scavenger hunts, self-guided apps, and other activities are available to help kids immerse themselves in the environment.
