If you've got kids in school, spring break is a convenient opportunity for a family vacation. Considering heading out for a unique spring break adventure? These five unique destinations will make for a memorable journey.

 

Galveston, Texas

Known in part for its famous Moody Gardens, Galveston is a great place to visit all year. Moody Gardens is a spectacular resort featuring several fascinating attractions: an Aquarium Pyramid, a Rain Forest Pyramid, and a Discovery Pyramid. Each Pyramid offers a variety of science-oriented learning activities kids will love.

 

Riviera Maya, Mexico

A stunning haven located south of Cancun in the Caribbean — and far enough away to avoid college-aged spring break crowds — Riviera Maya has gorgeous beaches and wonderful amenities. Kids will love the Eco Maya theme park: it's got snorkeling and many cultural activities along with a panoply of butterflies!

 

Steamboat Springs, Colorado

March is often one of the snowiest months in Colorado, so Steamboat Springs is a great destination if you'd like to relish winter fun during the spring. Multiple kid-friendly ski lifts along with a kid terrain park, tubing activities, sleigh rides, and a giant trampoline make this resort town a hit with kids.

 

San Diego, California

San Diego has dreamy weather year-round, but it's especially great during the spring! You and your family can enjoy Balboa Park along with an array of museums, a world-class zoo, hiking trails, bike paths, and beaches. Take some lessons at the San Diego Surf Academy while you're there!

 

Washington, DC
A trip to Washington, DC can combine fun with education! Your family will love visiting Washington's numerous museums, including treasures like the Smithsonian Museum, the National Museum of Natural History, and the Air and Space Museum. If your calendar allows, schedule your trip around the National Cherry Blossom Festival, a dazzling annual springtime treat.
