The Whole Family Will Love These Fun Spring Activities (2024)

There are few words that inspire a mood boost more than “spring.” Winter is (finally!) behind us, the snow has melted, and you don’t need to wear that big heavy coat anymore. With the grass turning green, birds singing, and flowers coming to life, it’s time to celebrate in a big way with these spring activities that will keep you entertained all season long. While there are plenty of solo things you can do, you can also share these experiences with your friends and family, too!

Petting zoos are always fun, but they're especially fun in the spring with baby animals abound. Your little ones can have up-close encounters with those little ones—and might even get to pet and feed them, too.

Grab your peanuts and Cracker Jacks, then head to the ballpark! Whether you have an MLB team nearby or support a local league, the whole gang will have a ball (get it?) watching America's favorite pastime.

Who wouldn't enjoy an assortment of tiny sandwiches, scones, and tea on a nice spring day? Send out charming invites and have guests come in their sweetest floral dresses for a tea party event you'll want to turn into an annual tradition.

Not only will starting a garden give you a new hobby to last the season, but you'll also get to enjoy the fruits of your labor (literally) every time you go to make a recipe that calls for fresh produce.

These whimsical little setups will add so much life (and magic) to your garden! Create your own fairy home using items like pots, tree stumps or wheelbarrows, then decorate the space with live plants, flowers, mushrooms, tiny statues, and other darling trinkets.

From fresh fruits and veggies to artisanal goods like soaps, jewelry, and candles, you can find it all at your local farmers market! Don't forget to pick up some flowers to adorn your home, too.

The only thing better than searching for eye-catching rocks is painting all the pebbles that you collect! It's such an easy and fun way for the kids to get creative.

The arrival of spring can only mean one thing: cornhole and giant Jenga! Get your loved ones out of hibernation mode by heading outdoors for a little friendly backyard competition with the best outdoor games.

What could be cuter than feeding the ducks at a local pond or lake? Just be sure to do it in moderation and steer clear of bread. Some great alternatives include lettuce or cabbage, corn, rice, peas, broccoli, tomatoes, and most fruits (not citrus).

An outdoor scavenger hunt is fun for the whole family! You can find printable scavenger hunts online or create your own unique challenge for kids and adults.

It's springtime and the fish are jumping! Visit a nearby lake, river, or stream and spend the afternoon fishing with your friends or family.

Gather your favorite springtime snacks and drinks and head to your favorite park for a picnic. Don't forget your picnic blanket—and your appetite!

Now that we can *finally* enjoy the outdoors again, host a co*cktail party or dinner right in your backyard. Set up a table with fresh decor and foods that nod to the season. And don’t forget the punch or lemonade!

There’s nothing quite as breezy or fun as going for a long bike ride on a gorgeous spring day. Explore a new path in your area, pack a picnic, and wear your springiest biking outfit. Make it a date by going with your special someone.

Research hiking trails in your area that are known for showcasing stunning spring wildflowers. Pack a bag and plan a day of savoring the great outdoors and breathing in the scents of those amazing blooms.
