1. Book your own staycation.

Most teens aren’t likely to be ready to go away to a tropical destination – especially without their families – but that doesn’t mean they are thrilled about staying home. Embrace the break with a staycation to remember. Spend the week touring our local landmarks. Oklahoma City is home to countless family-friendly attractions and activities.

2. Give back

Spring break is a great time for your teen to volunteer. Bolstering more than just college resumes, volunteering is an excellent way to try something new, benefit the community and learn about the importance of lending a hand.

3. Tour colleges

One of the best things to do on spring break for older teens is tour a college or university that they may be considering. Whether right here in the metro or out-of-state, make it a road trip to remember with fun stops planned along the way.

4. Family vacay that won’t break the bank

Spring break is a great time to hit the road on a new family adventure. Check out these 10 trips within 100 miles of Oklahoma City that are sure to keep the whole crew entertained.
