Local Destinations for Spring Break and Beyond
With spring break coming up March 17th through the 24th, you may have been thinking of how to spend your free time off from school. Want to do something fun but don’t want to travel far? Here are a few places at home in Green Bay you can check out for an affordable price!
The Green Bay Botanical Gardens is holding events this spring, focusing on well-being (think yoga and outdoor classes) and group tours. Check out the website for more information on hours, admission prices, and dates for upcoming events. [Editor’s note: The image above is from the Washed Ashore exhibit, coming to the Gardens from May 2 – Sept. 2. Washed Ashore features sculptures made from plastic debris pulled from the ocean, to draw attention to the need to keep our waterways clean.]
If you have a love for animals, then a visit to the zoo would be perfect for you! There are availabilities on certain days of the week for different experiences, such as feeding giraffes, penguins, and otters! The NEW Zoo is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. through 4 p.m., which gives flexibility for those with busy schedules to take some time off and have fun. Check out the website for more information on admission prices, and dates for upcoming events.
If you are interested in outdoor fun, Titletown offers winter recreational activities such as ice skating at Hy-Vee Plaza and tubing at Ariens Hill. Check out the website for more information on hours and admission prices
