As spring break approaches for students in Evergreen, there’s plenty of inexpensive ways to get out of the house and have fun. Students in Evergreen are zoned to Conroe ISD schools, which are on spring break March 9-13.
From a trip to a splash pad to a family adventure at The Learning Zoo, here are several local options for things to do and places to visit this spring break:
Get outside while the weather is beautiful and visit one of the city of Conroe’s 20 parks or one of the more than 150 parks in The Woodlands nearby, featuring playgrounds, picnic areas, sports courts and more.
Take a hike through the 1,722-acre W.G. Jones State Forest located off FM 1488 in Conroe. It’s a perfect spot for bird watching and wildlife viewing and is open year-round during daylight hours only.
For something a bit more thrilling, book a climb at Texas Treeventures, an aerial adventure course within the Recreation Center at Rob Fleming Park, located off Creekside Forest Drive in The Woodlands.
Splash into Spring Break at a host of local splash pads now open.
