Yellowstone ranked No. 3 family destination

Yellowstone ranked No. 3 family destination




YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) - Family Fun magazine readers ranked Yellowstone National Park as the No. 3 attraction for family vacations behind Walt Disney World and Yosemite National Park.


Survey results were published in the April issue of the magazine, which has 1.3 million subscribers.




Rounding out the top five were Washington, D.C., and Disneyland.




In the Mountain-Plains region, which comprises 14 states, Yellowstone took top honors in the nature escapes category and Old Faithful Geyser was No. 1 among tourist attractions.




The survey ranked Jackson Hole Mountain Resort as the premiere area in the region for wildlife tours, mountain bike trails and proximity to national parks. Jackson ranked second to Estes Park, Colo., in the tourism towns category.




"This recognition can do nothing but help enhance our posture as a leading destination for safe, family vacations," Wyoming travel director Laurie Green said.
