New Year’s Eve is a classic partying night. Getting dressed up, popping champagne, watching the ball drop, and celebrating all night long. However, once you have kids, you might have to adjust how you party while ringing in the New Year.

Luckily, there are a handful of fantastic family-friendly New Year’s Eve celebrations that will entertain both you and the kids. Here are some of the most anticipated parties of the season, with spacious and affordable accommodations to match! Who says New Year’s Eve with kids has to be dull?

5. LEGOLAND, California

Head out west to Carlsbad, California for a fun LEGO-themed party! LEGOs are certainly ideal for kids and adults alike, and everyone will have a great time at this celebration. Live, kid-friendly bands play all day long, fireworks light up the sky, and a LEGO brick drops 22 feet from the sky to signify the “New Year.” Fortunately, LEGOLAND’s New Year is at the kid-friendly time of 6 PM! This leaves plenty of time for you to enjoy a family dinner and turn in early.

Carlsbad timeshare rentals offer swimming pools and spacious suites with multiple bedrooms. This way, you can tuck the kids in and enjoy a glass of champagne in the living area while ringing in 2017 with your spouse.

4. First Night Boston, Massachusetts

First Night is an affordable and fun way to spend New Year’s Eve with the family in New England. This day-long event offers activities ranging from puppet shows and arts and crafts, to tango lessons and live entertainment. One flat fee gets you into more than 30 venues and allows you to participate in all the activities. See theater, dancing, movies, ice sculptures, and more. If you wish to stay until midnight, you can enjoy fireworks over the Boston Harbor. If not, you are certainly able to pack in more than enough fun in a full day in the city.

Enjoy plenty of space and Boston skyline views with Boston timeshare rentals. You’ll enjoy being right in the heart of the city with the option to cook meals from the comfort of your accommodations, or walk to one of the nearby restaurants.

3. Beach Ball Drop, Florida

What’s more fun than a sparkling ball dropping in NYC? How about a beachside ball drop at Panama City Beach? This event takes 800-pounds worth of colorful beach balls that glide 100 feet from the sky to ring in the New Year. Come early to enjoy the carnival complete with bouncy houses and street performers. There is also an earlier 8:00 PM beach ball drop so that you can get the kids to bed at a reasonable hour.

With a Panama City Beach timeshare rental, you can stay nearby the big event with spacious and comfortable accommodations that will make you feel right at home. Kids will love playing on the beach, swimming in the pools, and you’ll enjoy soaking up that glorious Florida sunshine.

2. Brookfield Zoo, Illinois

Zoos are fun for families at all times during the year, but there is something special about celebrating a holiday among the wildlife! Zoo Year’s Eve is a free event (with zoo admission) that includes music from Radio Disney artists, games and crafts from 6-8 PM, and of course chances to see and interact with all your favorite zoo animals.

Chicago timeshare rentals give you a prime location to the city’s best attractions while providing you with homey accommodations complete with kitchens, washers and dryers, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, and more.

1. Louisiana Children’s Museum, Louisiana

If you have very young kids, the Louisiana Children’s Museum provides the perfect environment to celebrate the New Year. Located in the vibrant New Orleans, you can veer off of the loud partying on Bourbon Street and find yourself in a child’s dream land. Kids will love designing their own party hats and other crafts before enjoying a noontime celebration with balloons, cascading confetti, and Sesame Street’s the Count to appropriately countdown to “midnight.” All of this and you’ll have time to grab lunch!

Extend your New Year’s vacation and enjoy all the fun and excitement New Orleans has to offer. New Orleans timeshare rentals put you right in the middle of it all while providing high-end accommodations with ample space and conveniences for the whole family.
