Spring break is right around the corner. It's hard to believe. If you're trying to plan ahead and find something for the kids to do while they're out of school, you have plenty of options in Amarillo. The Discovery Center is having its camp. Arts in the Sunset will be having a day camp. The Amarillo Zoo is even stepping up.

Your Kids Could Spend Spring Break At The Amarillo Zoo

This upcoming spring break you'll have the option of sending your kids to the Amarillo Zoo. Their spring break camp gives your kids the chance to spend their days doing hands-on activities, crafts, and even getting up close with some of the animals. It's March 10 - 14 and runs from 9 AM to 3 PM with optional early and later care.

It's for kids ages 6 - 12, and they will need to bring a lunch and a refillable water bottle if they attend. It honestly doesn't sound like a bad way for the kids to spend Spring Break in Amarillo.

Cost Of Attending The Spring Break Camp At Amarillo Zoo

The price tag on this one is a little steep. It runs $200 a kid for the week. That additional care runs $75. Still, might be cheaper than a one-off week at a daycare. You can see all the details here.

It sounds like a unique spring break experience. The kids will supposedly be getting to learn a lot and there's plenty of hands-on activities to keep them occupied. It beats a week-long Fortnite binge.

The Zoo camp is one of several options in the area. Check around. Find one at your price point and send the kiddos. You'll all have something to talk about over dinner when you finally get home from work.
