Design Your Own “In Town” Spring Break: Inspiration from the Top 10 Hot Spots (Top Five)
#5 Tampa/St.Petersburg, Florida
This important collection of surrealist works is located in a building that is as interesting as the art.
Hometown break suggestion: There is probably a quirky museum in every corner of the USA. What is in your hometown? I know where the ball of twine is in Minnesota, but I’ve also been meaning to visit the collection of rare Asmat art a local college – it’s on my spring break list.
# 4. New York City, New York
Most Popular Attraction: The Empire State Building
Iconic Landmark with
incredible views day and night.
Even jaded New Yorkers love it.
Avoid waiting in the ticket line by buying your tickets online in
advance.
Hometown break
suggestion: What is the highest
point in your town? If it’s
public, just go and enjoy! If it’s
private, why not contact the owner and see if you can visit? If it’s a hill, think about going at
night to see the lights, the stars, or the migrating birds as the navigate
themselves northward by the light of the the moon.
# 3. Las Vegas, Nevada
People stare at lots of free shows
outside the hotels, but there's only one worth going to: the Bellagio fountains. Every half-hour
between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., and every 15 minutes from then 'til midnight, an
8.5-acre lake in the middle of the desert explodes with 1,214 spritzers
shooting water up to 460 feet in the air — the water rockets and dances,
perfectly choreographed to Frank Sinatra or Gene Kelly or "One Singular
Sensation" from A Chorus Line. And yet, for some reason, it doesn't
feel all that gay, which is quite a feat.
Hometown break suggestion: Find all the fountains, big and small,
public and private, in your hometown.
Do a daylong fountain tour.
Bring pennies where allowed to make wishes.
#2 Orlando, Florida
Florida has more than 700 springs. They
bubble up through the Florida Aquifer, an underground limestone formation. Clear, cool, and fun. Kayak, swim, relax and enjoy.
Hometown Break Suggestion:
Rent a canoe, bring a picnic and launch into whatever water formation
your area is famous for. There’s
just something about being near fresh water! Be sure to pack a Junonia swimsuit.
#1 Miami Beach, Florida
Most popular attraction? South Beach
South
Beach is the quintessential Miami hot spot. From shopping to partying, this trendy
area of Miami Beach is well-known for its art deco revival architecture.
Hometown
Spring Break suggestion: What
architecture is special in your area?
Just Google your hometown + architecture. I’ll bet you’ll find enough for a full day of exploring!
