Best Activities for Family Trips That Everyone Will Love

Family trips are supposed to be fun. Though, to be honest, getting everyone to agree on what to do can feel like negotiating world peace. Grandpa wants to relax, the kids want action, and somehow, there’s always that one person who just goes with the flow (which is zero help when planning).

Good news? There are plenty of activities that bring everyone together, no arguments, just good times. Here are a few to put on your list.

1. Scavenger Hunt with a Twist

Forget wandering aimlessly, turn exploring into a game. Whether you're at a beach, in a city, or in the mountains, a scavenger hunt gets everyone involved. Hide small prizes, create goofy challenges (take a selfie with a stranger, find a rock shaped like an animal), and watch the competition heat up. Together Hub lets you create and share custom hunt lists, so no one gets left out.

2. DIY Olympics on Family Trips

You don’t need to be an athlete for this one. Set up simple challenges; three-legged races, water balloon tosses, even a contest for the most ridiculous victory dance. Divide into teams, keep score, and let the bragging rights last all year.

3. Campfire Night (With More Than Just S’mores)

Sure, roasting marshmallows is great, but take it up a notch. How about a storytelling contest? A sing-off? A round of "truth or dare" that even the adults can’t resist? It’s all about making those moments count.

4. Foodie Challenge

Pick a theme (best homemade pizza, most creative ice cream sundae, weirdest food combo that actually tastes good) and let the family chef battle begin. Everyone gets to eat, so no one complains. Together Hub makes planning group meals easy, so no one gets stuck doing all the work.

5. The Ultimate Movie Night

Forget cramming onto the couch, take movie night outdoors. A sheet, a projector, some blankets, and suddenly, watching a classic together feels like the best part of the trip.

Plan it All Without the Headache

Great trips don’t happen by accident, they need a little planning (but not the kind that makes you want to pull your hair out). With Together Hub, you can schedule activities, keep everyone on the same page, and actually enjoy your trip.
