For families, August is a great time to take a quick vacation!  After all, the kids still have a few weeks before school starts up again and, chances are, they're getting a bit restless.  You can get them out of the house (and maybe even off their smartphones) by taking an affordable vacation from your local Brockville travel agency and have a great time too!

Here are just a few of the August vacation packages Howard Travel has lined up that would be perfect for a quick family vacation or a private little getaway for two.

Granby Zoo Tour - August 10-11

How can you spend an entire weekend just at a zoo?  It's easy when it's Quebec's world-famous Granby Zoo - because it's a zoo, amusement park, and water park all in one!  They have over 1,500 animals - from 225 species - in their massive zoological park.  There's also a full dinosaur exhibit and kids always love dinosaurs.

However, you could also spend time with classic carnival games and rides at their full amusement park or chill out in their "Amazoo" water park with a full selection of thrilling water attractions.  There's truly something at the Granby Zoo for everyone - and a full weekend is only barely enough time to take it all in.

Prince Edward Island Tour - August 22-31

Want to get away from it all?  We're proud to offer a massive 10-day extended trip to beautiful Prince Edward Island.  PEI is one of the most impressive island experiences in all of Canada.  The beaches are beautiful, the seafood is unbelievable, and the golfing is among the best in the world.

You get a spacious room equipped with a kitchenette and, largely, your time is your own.  From coastal drives to the Celtic performing arts troupe, PEI is full of beauty and culture.  It's the perfect antidote to the hectic pace of city life.
