Most of us think of “kid-friendly” as being anything welcoming of tots or pre-schoolers - after all, they’re the ones most likely to cause an embarrassing scene. But teens go on family vacations too, and although they’re just shy of adulthood, they’re not mini-mes - they have their own interests, some shared with parents, some not.
Loews Hotels has some excellent teen-focused Edu-Cations being featured at several of their properties around the country. These cool packages allow teens to explore a new world or delve deep into a current interest. At Loews Santa Monica, for instance, your hipster can move one step closer to living like Lohan, with a 2-night stay in a premium suite, limo service for the duration of the stay, an acting lesson, meeting with an agent, and a makeover. (Can we sign up? We swear we’re 16, really…)
If your teen is less into the meat market of LA and more into the stock market, the Loews Regency in NY offers an inside view of the financial markets, with a tour of the NASDAQ, a power breakfast featuring a financial speaker, and a photo of your budding broker on the NASDAQ tower.
Other packages include surfing in San Diego, a tour of the National Press in Washington D.C, and a music and lyric session in Nashville, all with inside scoop and/or access to people really connected in their respective fields. With vacations like these, you might actually get some (begrudging) respect from your know-it-all kid.
