CAT | Travel Resources

Here at Jurnii we know that a good holiday is usually all about keeping the kids entertained and happy at all times. While we occasionally get the chance to enjoy a night alone, it’s usually the day activities that turn out to be the really memorable parts of a vacation.

With this in mind, we’ve developed a guide to the attractions of the US. Covering all regions and states, this one stop guide will help you plan your vacation to the US, taking all the hard work out of searching for places to visit.

So why not take a look at our Guide to US Attractions. In the meantime, here’s a sneak peak!

Seattle Aquarium

Discover a fascinating marine environment at the Seattle Aquarium where you will encounter orca whales, glowing jellyfish, sea anemones, clever sea otters, and everything in between.

This unique marine environment is perfect for people of all ages and is open 7 days a week.

Disneyland, Anaheim

Disneyland is famous for its masterful story telling of some of history’s greatest tales, in an interactive and mind-blowing way.

A trip to Disneyland is a guaranteed unforgettable experience no matter how old you are, and simply cannot be missed while in the sunny state of California.

Bloomington Mall of America

The Mall of America is not only the largest shopping center in the US; it is the largest in the world. Boasting an impressive 400 shops, 50 restaurants and bars, along with the largest roofed theme park in the US, this place is any shopaholic’s dream!

Ben & Jerry’s Factory Tour

Ben & Jerry make some of the best ice-cream around so a tour around where it all happens is a must for any fans. Nestled in the Green Mountains just north of Waterbury, this factory offers some fantastic tours with sampling mandatory.

Statue of Liberty

A ferry runs regularly to the Liberty Island on which it stands, and there you can visit the museum in the statues pedestal. Unfortunately it is no longer possible to climb higher into the statue.

Whale Watching in Cape Cod

Provincetown is probably the best place to organize a spot on one of the boats that takes you out to the whales – a highly recommended activity! A walk down the infamous commercial street to the wharf is a pleasant experience too. On the boat trip you are almost guaranteed whale sighting, and you’re bound to see other creatures such as dolphins and of course lots of bird life.
