Spring Break 2026 Plans Shaping Up With Texas’ Best Destinations

Spring break will be here before you know it. Luckily for us, Texas has plenty of fun things to do!

Spring Break 2026

The cool thing about Spring Break in Texas is you have a wide variety of activities from which to choose. Just keep in mind everyone else is also making plans, so get your reservations made ASAP!

Student Spring Break Destinations

Spring Break for students means sun and sand, and Texas is the perfect place to enjoy both.Popular, warm-weather destinations include South Padre Island (beaches) Galveston (Pleasure Pier, Moody Gardens), Port Aransas and Crystal Beach.

Family Fun

For those planning Spring Break activities as a family, Texas is where you want to be! The San Antonio River Walk is a beautiful place to visit, and if you are a history buff, San Antonio has you covered! A trip to Austin means a visit to Barton Springs and if you are in Dallas, be sure to check out the Perot Museum of Nature and Science which is downtown.

Have Fun In Your Own Backyard

Before you make plans to travel hours away, have some fun in Waco! Do some shopping (and snacking) at the Magnolia Market at the Silos. The Surf Waco resort gives you the beach experience without the long drive. Travel back in time and visit with the animals that were the original Texans (looong before it was Texas) at the Waco Mammoth National Monument. A visit to Waco also means you can visit the home of Dr. Pepper, the oldest soft drink manufacturer in the country and you can visit a museum and Hall of Fame that honors a legendary symbol of Texas and the American West; The Texas Rangers. Speaking of Hall of Fame, be sure and visit the Texas Sports Hall of Fame.
