Spring Break 2024
Monday, March 11 – Friday, March 15
If you’re a parent looking for an exciting variety of spring break activities to keep your kids busy and entertained, look no further than Woodchase Park. Westchase District has planned a fun and diverse programming schedule that will have your kids demanding a “staycation” rather than that spring break getaway you’ve enjoyed in previous years. And everything is FREE for your family to enjoy!
Our calendar of events features daily activities with the Houston Museum of Natural Science visits from The Texas Bubblers, fun money games with Chase Bank and gardening and crafts with Harris County Master Gardeners. Guests will also enjoy a balloon twist artist, caricature artist and face painting by Truly Enchanting Entertainment; plus Lemonade Day Registration; music, lawn games, the book cart and games cart.
In addition, Young Audiences of Houston will present music, theater, dance, and storytelling fun at 1 p.m. daily. See the entire daily schedule below:
