Top 10 Family Reunion Destination Resorts Overview
Memories flash through your mind: the tears and screams of the losing team in a friendly game of soccer between cousins, Aunt Mable loosing her teeth in the punch bowl and Uncle Bill stumbling around the campfire and saying “Beer me!” Yes, the time has come – the time for your annual family reunion. This year, instead of tearing up your atlas in an attempt to find a state that’s big enough for all of you to vacation in at once, just take a look at our Top 10 Family Reunion Destination Resorts. Each has the main components of a successful family reunion: spacious accommodations, a plethora of entertainment options for all ages and an abundance of smiling staff to attend to every detail.
Woodloch Pines - Hawley, Pennsylvania
Woodloch Pines Resort has all the entertainment of a five-star cruise, but in reality our No. 1 pick is firmly grounded in the woodlands of the Pocono Mountains. In fact, the nearest body of water is Lake Teedyuskung and though it’s no Pacific or Atlantic Ocean, it is a prime spot to teach little Jimmy how to fish. Watch the sun rise as you are reeling in bass, bluegill and catfish on the dock. Don’t dally too long, though. Soon it will be time to start your engines – errrr, your air-cushioned bumper car. If this classic isn’t hip enough for the youngsters, tell them to get their feet wet – in water bumper boats equipped with squirt guns, that is! Still not seeing something that you like? Well, how about the Broadway-style theme shows, indoor splash pool, snow tube run, ice skating, ice fishing, hayrides, family Olympic games or bingo?

Fairmont Banff Springs - Banff, Alberta
The Fairmont Banff Springs ski resort didn’t make those majestic mountains the color of glinting steel with powdery slopes, but we give them props for choosing this fabulous location to set up camp! Yes, we have traveled to Canada once again for its unparalleled mountain scenery and pastimes. Another great credit to Fairmont Banff Spring’s locale is its close proximity to Mount Norquay, Banff’s very family-friendly ski area. Groomed runs, bumps and terrain parks suit any level of skier – plus, Norquay is the only lit terrain park and only night skiing area in Bow Valley. When you come off the slopes, warm up with traditional afternoon tea, including scones with Devonshire cream and almond mocha lady fingers, at Rundle Lounge with views of Rundle Mountain and Bow Valley. Wrap up the family’s night with Mountain Heritage Campfires where Banff natives tell local stories.
