It's often the little things that get kids excited on vacation -- the chance to make friends with other children, a pool with a waterslide, an ice-cold hot-pink strawberry milkshake; that's what Francis Scott Key Family Resort is all about. Child-friendly and amenities abound on the property's extensive grounds. Take a quick stroll around the place with your kids, and the youngsters will have your vacation itinerary planned in a heartbeat, whether they want to splash around in the resort's indoor pool, cool off at the Pirate Sprayground or go mini-golfing with mom and dad. (The 3-year-old we traveled with was simply thrilled that there was a playground directly across the street from our room.) If you're looking for a resort where you can have a great time with the kids without setting foot off the grounds, this is your kind of place.

Of course, Ocean City, Md., isn't exactly the kind of town in which you'd want to stay cooped up for too long. But for rainy days and off-season visits, when a trip to the beach isn't at the top of your to-do list, Francis Scott Key offers tons of activities. And when you do want to hit the sand, Francis Scott Key (which isn't a beachfront resort) has a complimentary shuttle bus that will get you there in a cinch.
