4 fun things to do with your kids over spring break

HOUSTON – Spring Break is right around the corner, which means many parents are on the hunt now to find some fun ideas of things to do while they’re on break from school.

Vacations are obviously fun, but what about things to do around the area that don’t require a ton of travel? Here are some super fun things to do with the kids while they’re out enjoying Spring Break.

1.) Exhibits

It’s a good idea to make these things a little bit educational, right?

Have you checked out the exhibits at Moody Gardens in Galveston, by chance? The kiddos can learn about ocean life in the Aquarium Pyramid, plant and animal life in the Rainforest Pyramid and even prehistoric life at the Dinos Alive Exhibit. There is truly something fun for everyone.

2.) Adventures

Are your kids ready for all the thrills?

They can have the thrill of their life on a ropes course, zip line and paddlewheel boat at Moody Gardens. All three activities are perfect for those who love an adventure and thrill.

3.) New movies

You can also seek thrills at the big screen. New films, such as Sea Lions 3D, Wings Over Water 3D and Mowgli in the 4D Special FX Theater are so much fun.

4.) Golfing

It’s never too early to learn how to golf. The Moody Gardens Hotel has one of the top public courses in all of Texas. It even has junior golf camps and spring break adventures for golfers who want to improve their game.


You can get in on any of the fun happenings above at Moody Gardens, which is located on Galveston Island, surrounded by 242 acres of lush, tropical gardens, palm trees, wetlands, water and all kinds of life for visitors to be in the moment and enjoy their Spring Break.
