2024 Spring Break Guide

Spring break in Cowtown offers a ton of family-friendly activities that make it the perfect reason to stay home this spring break. At the heart of the city lies the historic Fort Worth Stockyards, where visitors can immerse themselves in the Old West charm with daily cattle drives, rodeos, and western-themed shopping and dining experiences.

During spring break, Cowtown Goes Green transforms the Stockyards into a festive celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, featuring parades, live music, and Irish-inspired cuisine.

In Fort Worth’s Cultural District, the Fort Worth Museum of Science & History offers interactive exhibits exploring science, technology, and history, while the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and the Kimbell Art Museum showcase world-class collections of contemporary and classical art….along with lots of family-friendly activities.

Parents looking to keep their children engaged during the break can enroll them in Spring Break Camps offered by various organizations throughout the city, providing a mix of fun activities and educational opportunities.

Whether you’re exploring the rich cowboy heritage of the Stockyards, delving into the wonders of science and art, or keeping the little ones entertained, Fort Worth offers something for everyone to enjoy during spring break.

Theatre Arlington Spring Break Camp

Honk! Jr. is a heartwarming celebration of being different that is sure to delight audiences of all ages with its sparkling wit, unique charm and memorable score. It is witty and hilarious, but also deeply moving. Ugly looks quite a bit different from his darling duckling brothers and sisters. The other animals on the farm are quick to notice and point this out, despite his mother’s protective flapping. Feeling rather foul about himself, the little fowl finds himself on an adventure of self-discovery, all the while unknowingly outwitting a very hungry Cat. Along the way, Ugly meets a whole flock of unique characters and finds out being different is not a bad thing to be.

There’s nothing quite like celebrating Spring Break at Six Flags Over Texas! Hang out with your friends or family and hop on to one of your favorite thrill rides! From March 11 through March 19, we’re celebrating Spring Break with THRILLS!

Live shows and entertainment all around the park is just what you need to have the best Spring Break experience.

  • 45 rides and attractions 
  • Specialty Spring Break culinary offerings
  • Outdoor performance stages  
  • Spring Break photo ops throughout the park 

Scream big on New Texas Giant on the world’s first hybrid wood/steel coaster or test your nerves on MR. FREEZE: Reverse Blast as you travel backwards into a 180-degree inversion that takes you upside down as you stare at the ground.

Take a visit to GOTHAM CITY and challenge yourself with a ride on THE JOKER or HARLEY QUINN Spinsanity, where no two rides are ever exactly the same! Or, perhaps you’ll dare to take on the RIDDLER Revenge and CATWOMAN Whip. Do you have what it takes to tackle these villainous thrill rides?
