One of the wonderful things about homeschooling your children is that you don't have to follow the same schedule that your local public schools do. You can take breaks whenever it is convenient for your family and you can take trips to museums and local attractions at your leisure. There are still benefits, however, to planning trips around typical spring break calendars. This article will showcase five areas of the country that would be fantastic places for a spring break vacation for your home schooled family, combining fun with learning and specific family time.
Orlando, Florida
Orlando is best known for its large multiple-park attractions, specifically Universal Orlando and Walt Disney World. Universal Orlando isn't quite the educational destination that other places are, but it certainly is packed with fun! Movies such as E.T. and Jaws have their own attractions, little kids can be thrilled by Seuss brought to life, and there are roller coasters galore!

We rent a place right on the beach in TX for a month in Sept/Oct. The weather is amazing, the atmosphere is friendly and laid-back, and since you don’t pay the hotel tax with stays of 30 days or more, it costs us less to stay a whole month than one week during high season.
We’re doing Hershey on May 28th then on to Philly.
The PA kids are still in school.
We did Niagara Falls last year and Never waited in a line!
Wow, she must have been staying at one heck of a hotel. We did Disney a couple of years ago in the off-season. It was five of us for 8 days, on property, moderate resort, meals included, for less than $3,000.
Please remove me from the “Another reason to Homeschool” ping list. I’m still interested in the Homeschool Ping List.
Thanks in advance.
Sure thing.
