Spring Break Activities
The weather is warming up and Spring Break has finally come. For the kiddos this is exciting but Spring Break can be overwhelming for us parents. If you are like me you probably tend to put pressure on yourself to make just about everything fun and special for your children. So if you are sitting around wondering to yourself what to do for Spring Break then keep reading!
· Okay this idea is for all of you that have an allergy kiddo. Personally I always felt bad because my daughter has a ton of allergies so it was always hard to find an allergy friendly place to go for a treat. We love visiting Hokulani Shaved Ice, you can find them on IG to see where their truck will be popping up. They sell shaved ice but ALL of their syrups are made from scratch and there truly is something for everyone. It feels good to celebrate a small family business too!
· Take a trip to the Dollar Tree. You` might have forgot this place exists but it is really an underrated resource for cheap activities. Recently we got some flower seeds and pots to plant with my toddler and she loved this activity! They also have fun little bubble machines right now. And with kids going from one thing to the next so quickly its always a win when you can save money!
· Another fun activity to plan for Spring Break is a trip to Landa Park in New Braunfels. They have a train that you can pay a few dollars per ticket to ride through the park. There is also a ton of wildlife such as ducks, deer and squirrels you and your kiddos can see. We enjoy buying oats and tossing it to the ducks- sometimes they will even eat right out of your hand! Be sure to pack a lunch to enjoy at one of the many shaded picnic tables. Your kids will also have a blast exploring the three different playgrounds. I suggest getting there early and letting your kids get nice and tired that way when it’s time to go home you can take a family nap!
· Visit the Witte Museum! If you are a Bexar county resident you get free admission on Tuesday’s from 3-6 pm. There is so much to experience there and kids of all ages are sure to love it. This is a great afternoon activity especially if you are trying to adjust to the time change and get your kids extra tired.
· Another fun affordable New Braunfels attraction is the Mckenna Children’s Museum. Admission is $8 per a person ages 1 and up. This is an ideal activity for kids under the age of 12 and its mostly indoors. They also have workshop days you can participate in at no extra cost. Find them on IG to see what they have planned.
· If you are looking for a spot where your kiddo can eat free- go check out The Cove. On Tuesday’s after 5pm your child can eat free with the purchase of an adult meal. They also have amazing outdoor seating with a playscape your kids can run around on. Enjoy the nice weather by going out for a meal together as a family.
