This book may be more appropriately titled Frommer’s 500 Places You Won’t Take Your Kids Before They Grow Up. Unless you’ve won the lottery or you’re filthy rich, you won’t be going to 500 places before your children grow up. In fact, you might not even go to 10 of these places—the selected vacation spots will cost you a hefty fee. A walk in Versailles, scuba diving in a tropical oasis or flying to Hiroshima are places we all aspire to go to and require many of us to save for months. For a family of four, these places will undoubtedly cost the average household more than just an arm and leg; these vacations might break the bank.

However, readers enjoy the book’s selection of places, arguing that instead of listing theme parks like Disney World, the book offers vacation ideas that help children gain an understanding of the world. This book will also give you an introduction to interesting places you may have never heard of. Overall, you can scour the internet for free.
