Serena Williams is on a heartfelt adventure: she’s fulfilling a promise she made a year ago to take her girls, Olympia (age 7) and Adira (almost 2), on an epic journey to explore the world’s wonders—natural, man-made, and ancient alike.
Their first destination? Niagara Falls in Canada—a natural wonder of North America, though not one of the “official” Seven Wonders of the World. Serena captured the moment beautifully with her little ones, decked out in vibrant red ponchos and even shared a video of a rainbow stretching across the falls.
In her Instagram post unveiling the adventure, Serena wrote: “A year ago I told @olympiaohanian that we would start an epic girls trip that would include the 7 wonders of the world… Natural wonders. Man made wonders. Ancient wonders. So we are going to do them all. We started with #NiagaraFalls … where to next?”. It’s clear this journey is about something much deeper than sightseeing—it’s about family, learning, and mother-daughter bonding.
And the world is rooting for them! Tina Knowles commented on the post, calling it a “great mother-daughter journey”. Serena’s husband, Alexis Ohanian, has also been vocal in his praise—calling her parenting “commendable,” and celebrating how, for her, the greatest joys come from simple, heartfelt moments with family.
So, where might they go next? The official Seven Wonders of the World include the Great Wall of China, Petra (Jordan), Christ the Redeemer (Brazil), Machu Picchu (Peru), Chichén Itzá (Mexico), the Colosseum (Italy), and the Taj Mahal (India). But Serena seems open to a broader, inclusive list—embracing natural wonders like the Grand Canyon and man-made marvels alike
