MiniTime Makes Family Trip-Planning Easy!

5 Reasons to Plan Your Next Family Vacation with MiniTime.com

March 22, 2013
If you’ve got kids, then you know how time-consuming it can be to research and book a family getaway. Between figuring out where to go, finding fun things to do with kids, and tracking down a good deal, the whole process can be overwhelming.

MiniTime.com, a new website that launched last November, has been making news lately for simplifying family vacation-planning. In the words of BabyCenter.com, MiniTime “makes planning family travel a cinch."


MiniTime can help you:

1.    Find Tailored Travel Recommendations. "Think TripAdvisor but with kids in mind," was how CoolMomTech.com summed it up. MiniTime is not just any vacation review site. It was created for parents, by parents—so it’s 100 percent focused on family getaways. When you search for places to go and things to do, you’ll get kid-friendly recommendations from parents whose kids are the same ages as yours.

2.    Land a Great Hotel Deal. There’s nothing worse than wondering if you paid too much for your getaway. When you search for a hotel on MiniTime, be it in San Francisco or the Florida Keys, you can compare rates on multiple booking engines and snag the lowest going rate without ever leaving the site.

3.    Plan Smarter. MiniTime is all about providing the information you need to make informed choices. You’ll find articles ranging from round-ups of top attractions (7 Amazing American Aquariums) to expert trip-planning tips (10 Ways to Save at a Splurge Hotel) to crowd-sourced wisdom from other families (Insider Guide to San Francisco).

4.    Meet Like-Minded Family Travelers. As you explore MiniTime, you’ll find reviews written by parents who are passionate about traveling with kids. There’s nothing quite like getting the honest scoop from folks who’ve been there.

5.    Win a Vacation. MiniTime.com always has a great giveaway going on. Sign up before April 30 and write one review of a kid-friendly hotel or attraction, and you’ll be entered to win two nights at a Great Wolf Lodge indoor water park resort. The more reviews you write, the more entries you get!
