Spring Break Staycation Ideas in Palatine

Staying home for Spring Break vacation? No problem! Here are some fun ideas to do with the kids.

Staying home for Spring Break this year? Yeah, so are we. However, that doesn't mean we aren't going to have a blast. We stayed home last year and went to a Bulls Game, the Art Institute and had a relaxing pajama day at home. The kids have off March 21st - March 26th and there are plenty of ways to have fun with your family during the vacation time with a little creativity and planning. But be careful, your kids might have so much fun they may ask to stay home every year.

We wanted to share some ideas to have fun at home, in Palatine, and in Chicago.   More importantly, we want to hear from you. What are you planning to do this Spring Break week? What are your favorite places to go for family fun in and around Palatine?

For some fun ideas on what to do at home like host a Wii Tournament, have a Movie Marathon, or Camp in your Family Room, read this post on Staycation Ideas.
