Best day trip locations in the game?
Where do you take your Sims out for the day? Do you have a favorite lot or residential neighborhood maybe for a day trip with a Sim family or an evening night out for a couple or place to recommend ...

I would say I keep my sims fairly busy. I don't like for them to spend every day at home, unless its fall or winter. Of course they will still spend plenty of time at home, but they tend to travel somewhere for a day a few times a week.
What I like to do is to download nice, big parks from the gallery packed with plenty of activities which I usually place on the big lots in Willow Creek, Oasis Springs and Brindleton Bay. I edit the parks to be family, especially toddler and child friendly and dog friendly so the whole family and sometimes extended family can have a good time. I also use the parks for family reunions and dates.
I like to send my sims to Mt. Komorebi for the day for some hiking, snowboarding, skiing and rock climbing.
Sometimes I just send my sims out and have them do specific activities, for example one sim will do fishing while the other one will paint the scenery with the sketch pad.
For teens I like to organize after-school club meetings at different locations. For example I downloaded a nice, big art center where they can practice their music and art skills. I also downloaded a really cool cafe, which has a small apartment on the top floor where the teens can do their homework and practice other skills like logic or research and debate for example that will prepare them for university. I have also had a gym club where they gather at a local gym to workout together.
For my current sim I have a yoga/spa club for her and her sisters. They regularly gather at a big spa and keep in touch through the club meetings.
For evening activities I like to replace simple bars with karaoke bars, where my sims will gather with friends and family.
My sims go to festivals in San Myshuno and Mt Komorebi fairly often.
I will also have my sims visit their family members a lot. And they live almost all over the world, so it is fun to get a change of location frequently. If my sims have a big enough garden, they tend to throw a lot of parties like weenie roasts and costume parties at their own place and if my sims have a tiny garden they will throw and host a party at a family members house which also works great.
I don't send my sims to Sulani, Selvadorada or Granite Falls just for one day, because then they would not feel like special vacation places to me anymore.

Sorry, I know you asked for specific locations, but a lot of the above activities can be done in any world really.
Another thing I remembered is that I am currently looking for parks in the gallery that will have season-specific themes and activities. For example I want to find a christmas market or village where they can travel in the winter and a pumpkin patch where they can go in the fall.
