Specifically, I am interested in family--friendly destinations with plenty of activities for kids and adults alike. I’ve heard great things about various places, but I am looking for first--hand experiences and recommendations from fellow travelers.   What destinations have you found to be the most enjoyable for a family vacation: ?? Any tips on must-visit spots or activities that are worth checking out: ??   Also, if you’ve experienced exceptional service or have travel tips specific to Southwest Airlines, I’d love to hear those too....!   Thanks in advance for your help.....!🙂   Maria Jonas   Hola Maria-   For each of its destinations, SW has a "Destination" web page that describes what to do. There is a "Things to do" area on the page. To locate these pages, I would search for "Southwest Airlines Flights To (City)" on any major search engine and visit the official SW website.   Being from SoCal, here's my take: SAN (numerous resorts, theme parks in San Diego) and SNA (Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, beach destinations at Orange County CA) both have many family places to visit. LGB is good alternative to SNA to lock in lower fares into SoCal...Still close access Orange County destinations and Long Beach features Aquarium of the Pacific and the Queen Mary.   E.g.: SAN https://www.southwest.com/destinations/west/san-diego   SNA https://www.southwest.com/destinations/west/orange-county-santa-ana   LGB https://www.southwest.com/destinations/west/long-beach-ca   Hope this helps ...
