Our Top U.S. Spring Break Destinations

Some people love spending their spring break laying on the beach. Others like to explore new places and try new things. You and your adventurous spirit belong to the latter. It's time to discover some amazing cities throughout the United States you should consider visiting for spring break that are just a short flight (or even car ride) away! Here are 6 fun places that should be on your spring break bucket list!

Austin, Texas

​This up-and-coming city is the perfect spot for your spring break. If you're lucky, your trip might line up with the city's iconic South by Southwest festival (March 13–22, 2020). Support local filmmakers, actors, musicians and comedians as you explore everything this festival has to offer. Austin is also a great spot for foodies with hundreds of amazing restaurants! If you want to explore the entire city, try a bike or segway tour to soak in all the sites. Make sure you get a picture at the "Greetings from Austin" mural while you're there!

Florida Keys

Are you looking for a unique opportunity to volunteer for your spring break? Head down to the Florida Keys to help nesting sea turtles in the area. March is the beginning of Florida’s sea turtle nesting season, so spring break is a great time to help! There are many organizations in the area that can benefit from volunteers. You can learn about sea turtles or even participate in a local beach cleanup!

Washington D.C.

Calling all U.S. history buffs! Washington D.C. is the perfect destination for historical tours and museum visits. This city is great for all ages! There are so many free attractions and things to do in this city, such as museums and memorials, but the fun doesn't top there. If you are looking for an adventure, kayak or paddle board on the Potomac River. Soak in the history that surrounds you with a trolley or duck tour. See the latest World Series champions play at a Nationals baseball game. Or relax with cocktails during happy hour at a rooftop bar.

Seattle, Washington

If you're looking to visit the west coast this spring, Seattle should be at the top of your list! You can get a big city experience and a relaxing getaway to connect with nature all in one. You should definitely go on a whale watching tour to see gray whales migrate into Possession Sound and Saratoga Passage. For wine connoisseurs, plan your trip around Taste Washington, a food and wine festival held each year in March. Taste some of the best food and wine Seattle has to offer!

New Orleans, LA

Springtime is the best time to head down to the Big Easy! Grab a hurricane and beignet as you stroll through the French Quarter. This spot is perfect for party animals or someone looking for a quick weekend getaway. There is so much to explore in this city! If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, take a haunted ghost tour to discover the mystery and history of the area. Many of our staff members love NOLA, check out our blog post about some of the best places to eat in New Orleans!

Breckenridge, CO

Maybe you aren't looking for a beach or a break from the cold this spring break. Spring is the best time to visit Breckenridge, Colorado, because the sun is shining and you still have the perfect snow for skiing and snowboarding. There are many festivals and events in Breckenridge throughout March, so there is always a reason to be celebrating. If skiing isn't your thing, head over to TenMile Flyer Zip Line for an adrenaline rush or to Breckenridge Brewery for a craft beer.
