Tucson Spring Break Ideas

Spring Break season for the kids is already upon us, and if you are like many parents, you are looking for ways to keep the kids & teenagers busy and entertained. Getting the kids out of the house is always ideal, but if you have lived in Tucson for a while, you may be out of new things to do.

The owners of Ace of Escape, two mother’s of kids from ages 5 to 12, feel the pressure too from our kids asking what they can do. Beyond getting our kids out for some of the beautiful nature in the area, we have done almost all the museums, zoos and other activities. So we’ve researched a few more fun things, of course, including at least one visit to us: Ace of Escape

Top 5 Fresh Tucson Spring Break Ideas from Ace of Escape:

#1 Nature Hikes: Madera Canyon, Tanque Verde Falls, and Sabina Canyon are our favorites with running streams which keep our desert kids amazed!

#2 Ace of Escape: Have fun challenging your kids’ brains and working as a team. Immerse yourselves in a themed room and see if you can unlock all the secrets to escape within 60 minutes. Our staff is friendly and accommodating for all age groups. No one is really “locked in” and it’s not a scary experience, but rather a fun mystery that will leave your kids talking about it for hours and begging to come back. Parents are welcome to join their kids in the room or we can accommodate a kids or teens only experience in a room. Open from 10AM to 8PM throughout the week, our kids can come in for just 1 or do multiple rooms and make a day of it!

#3 PlayFormance: Just up the street from us at Ace of Escape, is an awesome kids and tween camp with flexible time slots and tons of activities for the kids only, while you take a break and enjoy that they are having an amazing time. Let your kids have fun the whole day, half day or other hours running through obstacle courses, playing around, doing arts and crafts, or so much more. Your kids will be begging to go back! Playformance runs multiple camps throughout the spring break weeks of many different schools.

#4 Sew Hip Tucson: Is your child crafty or been looking to learn to sew? Check out Sew Hip’s Spring Break Camp March 20th to March 23rd.

#5 Rocks and Ropes: Also close to Ace of Escape in downtown Tucson, Rocks and Ropes is great way to keep your kids active during spring break and develop their climbing skills. Whether new to climbing or experienced, it’s always a fun day to get on a wall at Rocks and Ropes and push yourself to the next level. Kids are always amazing to watch climbing and it’s wonderful to see them amazed in themselves. Kids love being able to have the freedom to climb in a place like Rocks and Ropes when so many times they are told to “get down” out there in the real world. Rocks and Ropes is a safe and fun way to spend a spring break day!
