Spring Break Activities in California: Dates & Fun Family Events

Is California a Good Destination for Spring Break Events With Families?

Yes, California is the perfect place to travel if you’re after Spring Break events and activities with the family! California weather from March to April is generally warm and sunny, great for relaxed outdoor fun. 

For nature lovers, a day trip to Yosemite National Park or Big Sur are great Spring Break activities for kids. Or, head down to the coast for a scenic walk along the Monterey Bay Coastal Recreational Trail or sit on the sandy shores of Moonlight Beach. If cloudy skies are there to stay, wander down to Carlsbad village for shopping, restaurants and museums.

There are plenty of theme parks open during Spring Break in California, with lots of options for the toddlers, bigger kids and teens to explore. LEGOLAND® California Resort is the ultimate destination for theme park lovers, with themed attractions, Water Park fun and an aquarium to discover. 

Plan Your LEGOLAND California Resort Visit This Spring

Our Theme Park is open as usual during Spring Break, so you can start planning your family trip to LEGOLAND California Resort in advance. Explore DUPLO® Playtown for gentle rides and play zones, or head to LEGO Technic Coaster and LEGO® NINJAGO® The Ride for some speed and interactive thrills!

Make sure to pack your bathing suits for our Water Park, one of the best things to do in California for Spring Break, as the weather is typically sunny and warm. Little builders can splash around in DUPLO® Splash Safari while older kids can race down Orange Rush or test their skills on Riptide Racers. 

Don’t miss our Deep Sea Adventure, where you can explore real marine life aboard a submarine at SEA LIFE® Aquarium.

To get the most out of your California visit during Spring Break in 2026, we suggest pacing your day by starting with popular rides early and saving the Water Park for warm afternoons. Plus, you can get set for a cosmic adventure with the all-new LEGO Galaxy land opening in March, with the Galacticoaster and a junior astronaut training zone.
