As summer school breaks stretch longer and childcare becomes harder to secure, some families are turning to an unexpected solution: hotels offering full-day, structured kids' camps that allow parents to travel, work and keep routines intact.

The True West Pass is a limited-availability, premium daily add-on—similar to First Tracks—that provides valet parking, dedicated line access at select lifts, a concierge service and a lounge experience. Availability is capped, with users expected to represent less than 0.5% of lift capacity on peak days at lifts offering priority lanes.

Six Flags will kick off the regional pass plan on Feb. 9 with a limited time sale on Gold season passes for $140 at Knott's and $90 at Magic Mountain that offer access to all the Six Flags parks in the West Region. The Magic Mountain Silver Pass will become the Gold Pass on Feb. 9 and include Six Flags West Region access. Knott's does not offer a Silver Pass.

Both cruises and all-inclusive resorts promise stress-free vacations, thanks to upfront pricing and built-in entertainment. But despite similar perks, the travel experiences couldn't be more different.

Do you crave variety and a busy schedule, or prefer settling into a single destination? Do you thrive with structure, or prefer flexible days at your own pace?

If you're looking for a tropical getaway, Germany likely doesn't come to mind. But about 45 miles south of Berlin, you'll find an unexpected vacation destination. Here, visitors can lounge on sandy beaches in balmy temperatures and splash about in warm waters, even in the dead of winter. The secret? It's all indoors. Housed inside a former airship hangar, Tropical Islands is a beach-themed water park that needs to be seen to be believed.

Marriott Bonvoy is giving bonus points on qualifying multi-night stays completed through January 31, 2026. It's a relatively small perk, but it can add up quickly if you're planning a longer trip or stretch of slow travel. The offer is valid across a wide range of hotels, from city staples like JW Marriott London and The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo to resorts like The St. Regis Punta Mita or W Maldives.
