Before you go to the USA – Getting your ESTA 

Before your USA vacation with kids, if you’re not from the USA, make sure you arrange a USA ESTA Visa for every member of your family a few weeks before your trip.  Basically, an ESTA is a mandatory travel authorisation to travel to the USA without a visa.  There is no exception, everyone in your family will need a valid ESTA visa to enter the country, or you will be refused entry.

The ESTA application is completed online and only takes a few minutes to complete.  The cost of the ESTA is minimal and basically consists of consular fees and application costs and can be made online via credit card or PayPal.

Once your application has been granted, you’ll be notified via email, and then you’re good to go!  There is no document required; it is just an electronic travel authorisation for the USA.  The good news is if you are planning multiple trips to the USA, an ESTA is valid for two years.

Ok so now the boring paperwork is taken care of, let’s get back to planning what to do in California with kids!

 As you cruise down the Pacific Coast Road, one of the first major cities you’ll hit is San Francisco.  Here are our top tips on things to do in San Fran!

Golden Gate Bridge

Did you even go to San Francisco if you didn’t see the Golden Gate Bridge?  The Golden Gate Bridge is the most iconic landmark in San Francisco and a must-see place while touring California with kids.  Either drive over it, walk over it, ride a bike over it, take a cruise under it or for the perfect photo of it head to Hyde Street Pier, Pier 39,  Coit Tower, Marin Headlands or either side of the bridge.

A trip to see the Golden Gate Bridge is a must, whether you’re a first-timer in San Francisco or it’s your fifth visit!  And if you’re on a California road trip – be sure to drive over it.
