For less time to drive to Chattanooga than waiting in line at the post office to get your passport, you and your family will be able to enjoy many family friendly things that Chattanooga has to offer. The children’s museum and the Tennessee Aquarium in downtown are a must-see for most visitor. Just a bit outside the city limit, you will be able to enjoy nature at the Rock City atop Lookout Mountain.

Another great town right next to Georgia border. With less than 4 hour drive, you will be able to enjoy a weekend at this town with one of the best Children’s museum we have visited. Spring and Summer is a great time to enjoy outdoor activities from hiking/biking along the Three Rivers Greenway to canoeing at Congaree National Park.

Destin, FL
Getaway from the city to the beach at this white sand beach town. The drive will take about 6 hours but it’s well worth it once you get there. There are many things to do with kids that you will want to stay longer than just a weekend. Spring break might be a tad cold for the beach time but don’t let that stop you from planning a weekend getaway to Destin. There are plenty of other activities for kids and the whole family to enjoy.
Helen, GA
For the shortest distance, you can getaway to the mountain and enjoy hiking in the park. Just skip over the cheesy part in town and you can enjoy a fun day out in the mountain and Unicoi State park. But I personally like the cheesy part in town. It is a fun thing to do to walk around this Bavarian inspired village and check out all the shops. Plan your spring break to Helen with this post to help with information on things to do, places to stay and yummy food to try.
