MORE than half (53%) of parents believe the best way to make family memories is through travel, according to a new survey.

And 71% feel exploring the world gives kids confidence later in life.

But while a lucky 39% are travelling more with their children, post pandemic as many as 35% said hopping on a plane this year was just a pipe dream.

The survey reveals as many as six in 10 (62%) of parents have a dream list of adventures, they would love to experience with their offspring.

According to the research, if money were no object, the experience they would most love to share with kids, was seeing the bright lights of Times Square after dark.

This was followed by tucking into a pizza in Naples (32%), travelling on the Orient Express (30%) and seeing the Northern Lights in Reykjavik (27%).
