The weather may not always show it but spring is right around the corner which means spring break is here! If you don’t have plans to go out of town, there is tons of fun stuff for you and the kids to do right here in the Memorial District during the week of March 11th through the 15th.
Need to find all day activities to keep the kids busy while you are at work? Then check out Life Time Athletic – City Centre’s week-long spring break camp for kids age 5-12. The camp is offered all week but you can also register your kids on a daily basis. Activities offered include swimming, rock climbing, arts and crafts and science activities. To register, visit their Activity Center or contact the club's Kids Manager, Brandon Day at (713) 630-8451 or by email at bday@lt.life.
Starting at 5 p.m each weekday, Memorial City Mall’s Spring Escape calendar offers a different fun activity such as a Mascots Olympics, a rodeo-themed concert, Dino Fest, Circus Night and even a Luau, ensuring that there is something for every child in your family. Be sure to stay for the 7 p.m. movie when a different family-friendly movie will be shown each week night. Don’t forget the regular weekly activities available at Frolic’s Castle like Storytime on Monday morning; Gymboree’s Kidtastic on Wednesday morning; and Paint Boss on Friday morning.
For the older spring-breakers, catch the latest blockbuster at either Cinemark Memorial City or the Studio Movie Grill. If you want something a little more active head down to the Bowl & Barrel for some friendly bowling or try to figure your way out of The Escape Game.
Over at CityCentre, their monthly Parachute Play Time is a great activity for toddlers. Bring your little one and join the colorful fun in the plaza on Friday, March 15th from 10 a.m to noon. Afterward, get some shopping in, enjoy a nice meal and stay for some live music later that evening – flamenco guitarist John Acevedo will start playing at 7 p.m.
For a bonus spring break activity The Easter Bunny is hopping into town early and will be visiting with children at Memorial City Mall starting Wednesday, March 15th, right in the middle of spring break. Get your visit in sooner rather than later!
Whatever you decide to do, make the District part of your family’s spring break memories this year and be part of the fun as we say good bye to the winter chill and welcome the fresh spring season! You deserve the break!
