raring2go.co.uk Raring2go! PLACES TO GO 5 family-friendly Spring Break ideas that balance fun, relaxation, and together time: 1. National Park Road Trip Pick one or two nearby parks and turn the journey into part of the adventure-short hikes,wildlife spotting,scenic overlooks,and picnic lunches. It's flexible,educational,and great for all ages. 2. Beach Town Staycation Skip the long travel and choose a calm beach town within driving distance. Build your days around simple pleasures: sandcastles,bike rides,early dinners,and sunset walks. 3. Theme Parks Visit a theme park for one or two days instead of a full week.Balance excitement with rest days at the hotel pool,movie nights,or local attractions to avoid burnout (especially with younger kids). 4. Cabin or Lake House Escape Rent a cabin or lake house for unplugged family time.Think board games,bonfires, paddle boats,nature walks,and slow mornings-perfect for reconnecting without a packed itinerary. 5. City Discovery Trip Choose a walkable,family-friendly city and explore it like locals.Mix museums,zoos,food markets,and neighbourhood parks with downtime. Let each family member pick one activity to personalize the trip. Whatever you decide to do this Spring, make it a memorable one with the family! 16
