Seeking Spring Break Activities Week of 3-15 - Plano,TX

Try Sharkarosa Ranch www.sharkarosa.com. It is a wildlife ranch near lake Ray Roberts - near Denton. My kids ages 4 and 9 had a great time. It is also very cheap! They are only open Sat and then on March 19 and 20 during spring break.

www.gocitykids.com is a great web site that list activities going on around town each day. It's also nationwide, so if you ever travel to major cities you can look to see what kid activities are going on there.

Hi

You should go to the Dallas Arboretum. They are going to have storybook playhouses for the kids to go through starting this weekend. I always take my 3 year old grandson there and he has a great time....and I get to see the beautiful gardens!!

I would like to suggest the Frank Buck Zoo, for a day trip:) It is a bit far from Plano for sure, but can make for a great day trip. It is quite inexpensive, and with young kids, we find it better than a big zoo. Honestly, I just cant say enough about it. You can let the kids walk for the most part, and pack a picnic lunch to eat while you watch the zebras and giraffes. They also have an nice wooden play park, and a fun little train ride. It is in Gainsville, which is on the way to an outlet mall, home of the Fried Pie Co (yummo) and sometimes for a fun meal, we head to Babe's in Sanger on the way home. I guess I better figure out what we will be doing too:) Have fun ~A.~

Check out www.MomsOutLoud.com. They just posted a list of things to do in the DFW area during Spring Break.

Amazing Jakes is an indoor food/games area for kids in Plano. It is a little pricey, but fun! There is also a place called Celebration Park in Allen off of E. Exchange Pkwy and Angel (go right). The Natatorium is a indoor swimming place for kids and its off of E. Exhange a few blocks down. Hope you all have fun!

In the Loop Kids is a email newsletter that lists events for kids in the DFW area. They've been having a whole section on spring break camps and activities lately.

Also check your local library or Barnes and Nobles. They both do free story time each week that the kids would enjoy and it gives you something inside if the weather isn't great.

The Dallas Morning News Guide (entertainment section). Check with Plano Park/Recreation program. They might have special events during spring break week. Good luck.

Go to the Dallas Arboretum-- on Mondays & Tuesdays they have special events like crafts and other activities, but other days of the weeks will be "quieter". Highly recommend this!!

I heartily second the recommendation for The Scoop at Metroplex Baby. http://www.metroplexbaby.com/Scoop.htm.
Not only is their list user friendly, they provide helpful details for parents. Have fun!

The Arboreteum is always fun and beautiful. There is the Great Wolf Lodge indoor water park in Grapevine and the zoo in either Dallas or Fort Worth.
