If you need a holiday like The Bachelor needs fancy tropical proposals, but can’t bear to leave the rugrats behind, you’re in luck: There are plenty of hotels for families in Santa Cruz that are ready to cater to your kiddos. Pack up the fruit snacks and tablets (and don’t forget the headphones, so your teens can ignore you!) and get on the road to family bonding. A break from the ordinary could be just what you need to put the “dear” back in “nearest and dearest.”

Whether you’re embarking on the trip of a lifetime with the extended family or just taking a sickie so you can have a long-weekend escape with your tween, Santa Cruz family hotels are fun for all ages.
