Romantic Places in America
The United States is one of the most popular wedding and honeymoon destinations because if you can dream it, you can probably find it there. The sheer variety of options boggles the mind. Perhaps the hardest part of planning a wedding or honeymoon in the United States is deciding where to start. Are you looking for a romantic fantasy? An action adventure? A secluded getaway? Let’s explore some of the options.
For couples who want to have fun, the Las Vegas Strip, known for its incessant nightlife illuminated by endless neon lights, may be an option. Its casinos, shows, nightclubs and restaurants are legendary. But Las Vegas is also a favorite destination for honeymooners, who can enjoy romantic moments on the Venetian’s gondola rides or a stolen kiss in front of the Bellagio fountains. Other amazing attractions in Las Vegas include the King Tut Museum, the monorails and the desert landscape. The Las Vegas man-made volcano at Chimera is also a fascinating sight.
Florida, on the other side of the country, is a state that seems like a country unto itself. It offers coconut palms and coral reefs along with world-class nightclubs, museums, theaters and other entertainment destinations. And don’t forget Kennedy Space Center, Dry Tortugas National Park, Busch Gardens and Adventureland, and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge on your Florida excursion. Let’s hope all those attractions don’t distract the newlyweds too much!
If you are adventurous enough, you can try sports such as rock climbing, hang gliding, parasailing, skydiving, hot air ballooning, dolphin and whale watching, and bird watching in the Sunshine State. Florida is accessible from almost every city important and offers a practically unlimited menu of activities. Honeymooners will find Miami Beach blessed with warm sunshine, great food, and great cocktails—surely three of the key elements of any successful honeymoon—plus great hotel rooms, of course.
Meanwhile, the Poconos can definitely offer sumptuous and luxurious hotels, offering honeymoon essentials like breakfast in bed. The area also offers a great location for other exciting and adventurous activities such as water skiing, snowmobiling, racquetball, archery, ice skating, golf, lawn tennis, and pedal boating. Must-see destinations include Fun Park, Shawnee Play Place and Water Park, Cherry Valley Vineyards and Winery, Poconos Snake and Animal Farm, Bushkill Falls, Claws ‘N’ Paws Wild Animal Park, Costa’s Family Fun Amusement Park, and Carousel Water. Honeymooning in the Pennsylvania hills is an exciting and affordable alternative to more popular destinations.
