Traveling with the fam is nothing short of amazing—it's all about bonding, discovering new places, and making those memories you'll be talking about for years.

There's something super special about exploring the world together, right? But let's be real, planning those trips can sometimes feel like a huge task, especially with everything else we've got going on. That's where we come in, like a breath of fresh air, making the whole process easy-peasy and super exciting. So, here are five big reasons why Pack Up + Go is your go-to for family adventures that are all about fun and zero about stress.

Let's dive in and see why it's a game-changer for family travels!

1. Surprise Destinations Spark Excitement

One of the most thrilling aspects of a Pack Up + Go Trip is the surprise element. Not knowing your destination until the day you depart adds an element of mystery and excitement that is especially delightful for families. It turns travel into a game, where anticipation builds up until the big reveal. The element of surprise makes the travel experience more about enjoying the moment and less about the stress of planning. For children and parents alike, the novelty of not knowing where you'll end up encourages flexibility, openness, and a sense of adventure.

2. Tailored Experiences for All Ages Expertise + Knowledge

Understanding that families come in all shapes and sizes, Pack Up + Go offers personalized Trips that cater to your specific interests and needs. Whether your family loves outdoor adventures, cultural excursions, or kid-friendly activities, we design Trips that ensure there's something for everyone. This personalized approach takes into account the ages of your children, any special interests, and any accessibility needs, ensuring that the Trip is enjoyable + engaging for the whole family.

We take care of all the details of your Trip so you can have the best family vacation possible! When signing up for your vacation, you’ll complete the Pre-Trip Survey, where you can let us know your family’s interests (and any dislikes), specific time restrictions, travel history, and “anything else we need to know,” so that your family getaway is made just for you. We can also arrange for a pack ‘n play in your hotel room, car rentals, restaurant reservations, and other services that make your Trip more comfortable and convenient — just let us know what you need! We also provide 24/7 support, ensuring you have someone to contact if you have a question or need help before, during, or after traveling with us.

3. Hassle-Free Planning Saves Time

For busy parents, finding the time to research destinations, book accommodations, and plan activities can be daunting. Pack Up + Go takes the burden of planning off your shoulders by handling all the logistics. After filling out the Pre-Trip Survey with your travel preferences + budget, we curates a trip tailored to your family's interests and needs. This means more quality time spent with your family and less time fretting over the details. Everything is arranged for you, making your travel experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible.

We also provide dozens of vetted recommendations that are curated to the interests you include on your Pre-Trip Survey to save you hours of time researching the best things to do + see in your destination, ensuring you make the most of your Trip! If you’re planning your own vacation, you can still pick up one of our Destination Guides or Bundles before you hit the road!

4. Encourages Family Bonding

The magic of setting off on a surprise journey with Pack Up + Go lies in the shared anticipation and excitement that builds even before you reach your destination. Imagine the entire family guessing, hoping, and dreaming about where you might end up—it's a unique way to kickstart the bonding process. Once you arrive, stepping into the unknown together quickly becomes a great way for families to bond. The beauty of our Surprise Trips is that they push everyone slightly out of their comfort zones, in a good way. Whether it's navigating a new city, trying local food for the first time, or embarking on an adventure you wouldn't have thought to try, doing it together brings a sense of unity and accomplishment.

Plus, free from the usual routines and distractions of daily life, families can focus on each other and make every moment together special. Let's face it, in our “always-on” world, it can be tough to find quality time together, but a Surprise Trip gives everyone the chance to really connect. With Pack Up + Go, it's more than just where you're going – it's about the journey and the unforgettable memories you'll make together. It's about making those family ties stronger in the most fun and easy way possible!

5. Flexibility is the Name of the Game

When it comes to planning a vacation, everyone has different needs. We offer flexible payment options, making it easier to budget for your Trip. When completing your Pre-Trip Survey, you’ll have the option to pay today with a credit card or PayPal account. Or you can choose to apply for Affirm, our buy now, pay later partner. This means you can spread out the cost of your Trip over time, making it more affordable and accessible.

Pack Up + Go offers 24/7 Traveler Support to help you have a seamless experience from start to finish. Understanding that surprises can come in many forms (not all of them welcome) this dedicated support means you're never alone, no matter where you are or what time it is. Whether you encounter a hiccup with your accommodations, face unexpected travel disruptions, or simply have a question about your pre-booked activities, our Team is just a phone call or email away, ready to assist with any issue that may arise during your Trip.

We've also got you covered in case your plans need to change.
