Duckwyn's Travel Blog

Today, we are happy to announce that there are over 300 airports included in the Duckwyn Travel app. This includes every countries' largest airport - at least for the countries that have airports. Our next goal is to ensure that every U.S. State has its largest airport listed in the app. If you are visiting a location and going to an airport that is not included in the app, let us know, and we'd be happy to add it.

We continue to add more airports each month to the DuckAbroad Travel Passport. Most recently, we've expanded into Africa and South America. If we don't have an airport that you'll be visiting soon, let us know. We can usually get it added before your trip.

Airports used to be just places you passed through. Now they're destinations your kids can collect, track, and remember long after the trip ends. DuckAbroad's newest feature transforms every airport visit into a collectible moment. Each of the 30 available airports comes with its own sticker and tracks how many times you've been there. Collect stickers the same way you always do Check in at airports exactly like you would any other DuckAbroad destination. When you arrive, the

Your family drives six hours to Zion. You park at the visitor center. Your kids ask what there is to do. You pull out a map with 47 numbered stops and vague descriptions. Your seven-year-old loses interest before you finish reading the first paragraph. Two hours later, you've seen three viewpoints. Your kids are complaining. You're not sure if you're missing the best parts or just hitting the obvious spots everyone else photographs. The park ranger said something about hidden

Your family's car winds up narrow mountain roads. Trees give way to glimpses of colorful towers. Then you round the final bend and there it is: a palace that looks like it teleported from a storybook, perched impossibly high on a rocky peak. Welcome to Pena Palace , where families trade flat museum walks for mountaintop exploration. This isn't your typical palace visit. It's an adventure. From earthquake ruins to royal retreat The story starts with disaster. The 1755 Lisbon E

Your kids can now collect Acadia National Park . The newest card in the DuckAbroad Travel collection celebrates Maine's coastal treasure. Acadia holds a special place in national park history: the first national park east of the Mississippi River and still the only one in the northeastern United States. President Woodrow Wilson established it as Sieur de Monts National Monument in 1916. It became Lafayette National Park in 1919, then was renamed Acadia in 1929. Why Acadia wor

You hear it before you see it. A low thunder builds in the distance, rolling through the trees. Then the mist rises, a shimmering cloud that catches the sunlight. Step closer, and the roar of Victoria Falls fills the air. Stretching 1,708 meters wide across the Zambezi River and plunging 108 meters into the gorge below, this natural wonder forms the largest continuous sheet of falling water on Earth. Locals call it Mosi oa Tunya, meaning The Smoke That Thunders, a name that

Imagine standing in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, surrounded by towering peaks and ancient ice. Banff National Park , established in 1885 as Rocky Mountains Park, is the oldest national park in Canada. By 1930, the Canadian National Parks Act officially gave it the name we know today. Here, families can explore some of the most impressive glaciers in North America. The park is home to several major icefields, including the famous Columbia Icefield, the largest uninterrup

Stand on the Yorktown battlefield where cannons once thundered. Walk the Jamestown shoreline where English settlers first landed. At Colonial National Historical Park in Virginia, your family traces 174 years of American history from fragile colony to independent nation. Two sites tell this story. At Jamestown, you see where it all started in 1607. At Yorktown, you stand where it was won in 1781. Together, they bookend two pivotal moments in early American history — colonial
