This year we’ve decided to stay home during spring break and do some fun things locally. As I’ve been writing our list it’s pretty easy to come up with some fun things that won’t break the bank. Here are a few ideas you could do with your family this spring break no matter where you live!

1. Visit a local museum. We recently got the PBS kids pass which lets us go to a variety of museums. If you haven’t done this before, the be sure to check back in October to get yours next year. It’s a fun one! If you don’t have a PBS kids pass you could check out Groupon and see which museums are included near you.
2. Look for Easter Egg Scavenger Hunts near you. Since this week is close to Easter I know a lot of different places are doing scavenger hunts. Do a quick Google search for one near you! For example, if you live in Utah you should check out Hill Airforce Base. They have a fun scavenger hunt going on right now and it’s FREE!
3. Be outside! If you’re having good weather then grab your kites, pickleball set or go find a new park. Being outside is the best during the days. Plus, it will help get your kids energy out.
4. Baby Animal Days. Spring is the time for baby animal days at every Farm. Look for a local place that has baby animals you could go and pet and feed. My kids love doing this! It’s something different to do.
5. Library. Keep your kids reading this week and go to the library for new books. My kids love having the time to read. You could even go outside and lay on a blanket while you read.
6. Family Fun Centers. Again, this would be a great time to check out Groupon for a fun center near you. We have a Boondocks near us so this is the fun center of choice for my kiddos. This could be your activity that may cost a bit more, but the kids will love it. We have decided to go bowling this spring break together. It’s so fun!
7. Family movie nights. If you’re out and about during the days, then a nice quiet movie night in the evening is perfect. Grab a few treats and find a fun movie to watch together.
