Park-smart and Park Snark™

From bored to brilliant, let the adventure begin

At Travel Fam, we believe that every visit to a U.S. National Park can be more than just a checkmark on a bucket list. It can be informative, it’s true; but it can also be transformative – in a good way. And it can still be fun, even when the family is maturing and travel dynamics are changing.

We create tools to balance adventure and relaxation; engaging games and downtime; and journals and keepsakes that help you make every national park trip memorable.

Let us help you reconnect, reflect, and rediscover. With a bit of snarky humor, of course.

Our guides and games are crafted for the in-between. In between online and offline. In between families and friends. In between ages and cultures. All in an extraordinary setting – in between the every day and the anything-but.
