Product Description
Millions of families visit the national parks annually. So we sent our author out to hit the trails and campsites to figure out how to beat the crowds and enjoy an unspoiled family experience of nature. Inside this book, you'll visit the most spectacular landscapes in the United States. This incredibly detailed, complete guide covers every kind of activity available in each park, from hiking to bird watching, with a range of sports for visitors of all ages and skill levels. This new edition of Frommer's National Parks with Kids also includes reviews of park lodges, camping, and nearby accommodations to help you plan all aspects of your trip. Exact prices are listed for every establishment and activity. No other guide offers such detailed, candid reviews...or such honest advice. Complete with maps of every park, including detailed maps of hiking trails in the major parks.

There are probably a jillion books about National Parks, but this one has the information a family with growing kids needs to make the most of visits to them. With this book as a guide, we have already visited over a dozen East Coast parks, and it has been of great assistance, especially in helping maximize the experience for the parks we only had a limited time to enjoy. We continue to use it to help map out our trips, we will be hitting 3-4 more parks this summer.

I really like this book. While it is supposedly geared for kids, I think it's very useful for finding interesting things to do at National Parks for everybody. I don't know why I didn't know this - but when I looked at the table of contents I realized just how few National Parks there are in the East. One side effect of reading this book is that it's made me realize what a precious resource these National Parks are to all of us, and it makes me wonder why there aren't more of them.

National Parks with Kids was invaluable for my family. I took my kids (7 and 4) on a cross country trip and visited 10 of the parks in the book. I found the descriptions for the campsites and food were perfectly accurate. Kurt Repanshek's writing fit my style and expectations for what I wanted my cross country trip to be. It was to avoid chains, find age appropriate activities and see a lot of beautiful stuff - not just the obvious attractions - but to get off the beaten track and see things that not everyone takes the time to see. This book couldn't have helped any more. Looking forward to hitting a few more parks this summer!
 GREAT for the parks it covers, but doesn't cover enough August 10, 2006

I found the information in this book much more useful than any other travel guide I have purchased. The lodging information for Yellowstone, for example, describes the state of specific room types at each location!
This book's one failing is its skimpy selection of parks.

Helpful in making comfortable but affordable reservations. Would be most helpful for those with strollers, helpful for us to get started. Glad I purchased it.
