7 Spring Break Spots in the U.S.
Spring break offers a much-needed respite from work obligations and hectic school and work schedules. The beach, mountains or city—whatever your ideal spring break is, there’s a destination for every type of traveler. Here are seven to consider.
Sunset, Key West, Florida
Key West, Florida
Endless sunshine, a laid-back vibe and fantastic beaches make the southernmost city in the United States a logical choice. Check out quiet Higgs Beach or spend your day on the beach at Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park, popular for snorkeling.
Las Vegas Sphere, Nevada
Las Vegas, Nevada
Crave nightlife and casino fun? Sin City’s for you. The weather’s perfect, clubs are open late and casinos are open 24/7. Add to that: all-day pool parties at many resorts along the Strip. Plus, you'll want to visit the Sphere—Las Vegas' newest hot-spot. The Sphere hosts a variety of entertainment events, original immersive experiences, concerts, sporting events and more.
Mather Point, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
Grand Canyon, Arizona
If you seek a more natural escape, head to this popular national park. Spring temps are cooler for optimum hiking. Consider a guided tour with a AAA preferred partner—Member Choice Vacations, Tauck or Trafalgar— and enjoy exclusive perks, while avoiding long lines and parking dilemmas.
Inside the Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C.
Washington, D.C.
The nation’s capital offers a family fun vacation with teachable moments. Visit attractions, such as the National Air and Space Museum or the National Zoo, plus monuments, including the Lincoln Memorial. Older kids love playing cloak and dagger at the International Spy Museum or delivering their own weather forecast at the Newseum.
Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, Orlando, Florida
DISNEY
Orlando, Florida
From Walt Disney World to Universal Studios Orlando, thrill seekers will find plenty of exhilarating rides, and many area resorts offer kids’ camps and clubs. If you’d rather explore more than theme parks, check out the area’s natural resources by kayaking, fishing, biking, snorkeling and taking an area boat tour.

Colorado Tourism Office
Breckenridge, Colorado
When you want an active vacation where sun meets snow, head to the slopes for a ski getaway. March and April are the state’s snowiest months, so spring break is an ideal time to head to Summit County. Breckenridge is charming with its boutique- and restaurant-lined main street. Ask your AAA Travel Agent about special packages and discounts on lift tickets and rental gear here or for other ski resorts in the state.
Hilton Head, South Carolina
The beauty of Hilton Head is not just its beaches, but also its vibe. It’s where Lowcountry meets Lilly Pulitzer. Vacationers and residents alike keep things casual, but classy—from teeing off on manicured greens to sucking on peel-and-eat shrimp. Ride cruiser bikes beneath shady oaks, soak in the sun on soft strands or frolic in the waves of the Atlantic. Families love it here.
