Finding the best spring activities to do with your family isn’t always an easy task. You’ll rarely find an activity that everyone in your household enjoys doing. While everyone may not enjoy all of the same spring activities, it’s fun to take turns doing something each family member loves. Not only are spring activities the perfect way to bond, but they’re also the perfect way to get some fresh air and a change of scenery after a long winter season.
5 Family Activities for the Spring Season
Take a Hike
Many places offer hiking trails for beginners and advanced skill sets. You can find a hiking trail that will work for the whole family. This can also be the perfect way to enjoy spring together without spending much money, if any.
Go Kayaking
The rivers are usually thawed out by the spring season. Consider renting kayaks and getting out on the water. This is not only great exercise, you can often see amazing views while in the kayak going down a river or across a lake.
Enjoy Miniature Golf
This fun-filled, family-style game is a great way to make golfing a little less complicated. During the spring season, many miniature golf locations will open their doors to customers. Find a local mini-golf location near you and make it a day trip with the family.
Go Bird Watching
Often times you won’t have to leave your house to go bird watching. Make your own bird feeder or buy one from a local store. Sit out on the front steps or porch and watch as all of the local birds come around to feed after having dealt with the long, cold winter season.
Plant a Garden
Start your very own family garden. Spring is the time where everyone gets those gardens ready for both flowers and vegetables. Consider starting a family tradition of planting a garden in your backyard this spring to enjoy the outdoors and what nature offers.
Each of these five family activities that you must do this spring will surely keep you all busy and happy. The biggest tip to ensure everyone enjoys these family activities come springtime is to ensure you’re doing something different with every family day to ensure each member can fully enjoy the time you spend together.
These sound like fun ideas. I wish we could grow stuff, but things tend to die in our yard. Oops. But we do plan on going out to Sea World and Six Flags!
All of these are great ideas. We will be doing some salmon fishing, trout fishing and tons of camping this year.
Spring is one of my two favorite seasons. I just love the milder temperatures and lack of humidity. A family bike ride is nice.
I am skipping the garden this year. Life has been crazy and I’m not sure I could keep up with it. But bring on the hikes and mini golf!
These are all great ideas and some of them are already on our list. I just saw a tutorial on how to make a pallet garden and it looks so cool! I think I’ll put my husband to work on that, he has the green thumb in the family.
We are so planning on hitting the road this Spring to visit family in Indiana. Doesn’t sound like much of a vacation but we’ve got a cruise, a trip to Dallas and a road trip to Branson, so it’ll be nice to spend some time with family.
We have already started hiking this year and I am dying to put in a garden. I am hoping this year is the year that I can grow a great garden that will taste delicious.
We love getting outside once the weather is nice. We take the kids out geocaching they love the hunt and seek fun!
I wish we could do more of these! We’ll definitely be doing the garden though, I’m already ready for that… now if only the weather would be ready too.
We absolutely love planting gardens but it’s hard where we live now. Kayaking is always at the top of our list for activities!
Lovely activities for the whole family to do this Spring. It’s always nice to prepare something for the kids, especially. I think these are great ideas!
We have not gone Miniature Golfing in a really long time. I’m not sure if we’ve ever taken the 6 year old.
Indeed great suggestions. I guess my top three picks would be to go on a hike, go kayaking and plant a garden. Not a golfer but I guess I can give it a try as well.
I will definitely be trying at least 4 of those this Spring. They are all great activities that my kids will love!
We are so excited to plant our garden this spring! It is one of my favorite things to do with my kids!
It’s always nice to make the most out of a season especially when you can spend most of the days outdoors! Spring is definitely a good season to enjoy the outdoors with family.
I love these family activity suggestions. We are going to try Bird Watching this spring. We love animals and my daughter wants to be a vet, so this is a perfect idea. Thank you!
Spring is the season to get outdoors with the family. Outdoor activities are indeed great for spending quality time together. Hiking is something we really love to do.
I’m always on the lookout for things to do and these are perfect. Can’t wait for the winter thaw and spring to finally come!
These are great ideas to get the family together. And the weather is so perfect too. I definitely want to take my son kayaking once he gets a little older.
