We limit the amount of TV the kids can watch. They watch much much less than others their age. We take them to local parks and nature centers.
They haven't been to any actual National Parks in their lives, but that's just because we live in the East, and there aren't too many National Parks around here. Plenty of state parks, county parks, national recreation areas and monuments, etc. But getting to the National Parks is a real task.
When I was a kid, my dad was a professor, with summers off. We travelled the US and went to most of the national parks. I loved it, and would love it if my kids could see all of them too, but I don't know when I could ever take a summer off to do that. I'd have to quit my job or something.
