We are all finally in the swing of things. The weather is up and down, but our morning groove has definitely hit its stride. It's in the daily humdrum, however, that spring break inevitably catches us by surprise. If you are a family with children, you’ll want a plan in place to entertain your energized brood. It's with family in mind, and with the hopes of memories being made, that we have compiled the 2022 Fort Worth Spring Break Bucket List! Included are the traditional Fort Worth staples with, hopefully, something new to discover. So, whether your kids are aged 2 or 20, Fort Worth has something to offer this spring!
1) Benbrook Stables
The Benbrook Stables offers a vast array of outdoor activities. Whether it's your first ride or you have years of experience, there's a horse and miles of outdoor trails around Lake Benbrook for you to enjoy. For spring break the stables offer: hourly guided tours, lessons, and the 2022 Spring Break Horse Camp. The Spring Break Horse Camp will be available for ages 5 and up starting March 14th-18th.
