After the year we’ve had, your family deserves a nice break from everyday life — treat the family to the ultimate spring break getaway. Consider heading to one of these family-friendly destinations for the best spring break yet.

 

Walt Disney World
While Walt Disney World still operates on limited capacity, it encourages and welcomes guests to visit and explore its four theme parks. Let the magic come alive this spring and head to the most magical place on Earth with the family. Make sure to take advantage of the Park Hopper option, the dining plan and the free transportation. A spring break spent at Walt Disney World Resort is one the family will never forget.

 

Camelback Lodge
Head to Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains for an unforgettable spring break. Camelback Lodge is the best place for families to kick back, relax and enjoy their vacation. With a completely new redesign of the suites and rooms, delicious new dining options and more, the resort outshines its competitors. Splash around at the indoor water park, take a ride on the wild side at Camelback Mountain Adventures, zip through the trees, ride the Mountain Coaster and much more.

 

Williamsburg, Virginia
If you are looking for more of an educational experience for the family, Williamsburg, Virginia, is the perfect place. Travel back in time and get a taste of what it was like during the 18th century. Walk down cobblestone streets and explore original colonial buildings. Once you’ve learned all about historic Williamsburg, treat the kids and yourself to a fun, thrilling day at Busch Gardens.

 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Another educational but fun destination for the family is Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is filled with important and historic sites from the American Revolution. Visit Betsy Ross’s house, see the Liberty Bell, explore Independence Hall to see where the Declaration of Independence was signed and much more. Make sure to stop by Reading Terminal Market for delicious food and treats. After exploring the history and the city, head into the suburbs surrounding Philly for a fun-filled day at Sesame Place, located in Langhorne, Bucks County.
