Are you ready? Despite our recent snow, it’s now 80 degrees outside, trees are blooming and Spring Break is HERE.

If you find yourself spending Spring Break right here in the Rocket City, here a few suggestions for completely FREE things to do.

Spring Break is March 23 – 27, 2015.

#1  Spend the Afternoon in Big Spring Park.

Explore Big Spring Park from one side to the other! And don’t forget to bring a few quarters to feed the ducks and fish. Guaranteed to tire out kids and adults alike.

#2  Hike the Madison County Nature Trail on Green Mountain

A great trail for kids of all ages with interesting things to explore along the way. A family favorite.

#3 Fly a Kite

This is kite season, so get out there and fly a kite. It’s surprisingly fun (if you forgot) and the perfect unique spring-time activity that you can do in your own backyard.

#4  Take Your Dog to the Dog Spot DogPark

A great place to let the dogs run and a great way to get the kids outdoors. Located on Cleveland Avenue, take the whole family and your dog will be in absolute heaven.

#5  Bike on a Greenway

Find a nearby Greenway in our Directory of Parks, Greenways, & Trails. These are paved trails and excellent for a family bike ride or leisurely stroll.

#6 Visit the Library

Your local Library branch (there are actually 12 branches throughout Madison County) is a fantastic resource for entertainment and education. We recommend indulging in a book series to last the whole week long.

#7 Play in a Public Park

Find your favorite new park in our Directory of Parks, Greenways, & Trails. Free fun and so many options… it’s the perfect way to spend the whole day (or the whole week!).

 

Enjoy your week!
