Today, we’ve compiled a list of six of the best family-friendly spring break destinations, ranging from all-inclusive resorts with beautiful beaches to colorful water parks located near famous theme parks.

1. Omni Orlando Resort 

The Omni Orlando Resort, located in serene Championsgate, Florida, is a spring break hot spot because of its warm weather, sandy beaches, and outdoor activities

Separating itself from other Orlando resorts, the Omni is the only hotel in the area to feature its own wave pool measuring at 7,338 square feet. To help keep the kiddos safe as they play in the 131,000 gallons of water, there are inner tubes and life jackets available.

Aside from the wave pool, the Omni also has a family pool that allows you to submerge into the water without taking any stairs the same way you would enter the ocean! This pool features a thrilling 125-foot corkscrew waterslide.

Younger guests can skip the waterslide and play at the liquid playground instead. This spot features a 30-foot spilling water tower and dancing water fountains. They can also play in the kid’s pool and go down the tiny water slides made with children in mind.

If you’re looking to slow things down, take a sleepy ride down the lazy river, play a calming game of golf on the Champions 9, Par 3 Golf Experience, or pay a visit to the Mokara Spa and receive a relaxing treatment sure to soothe your mind and body.

2. Aqua Nick Waterpark 

The Aqua Nick is located in one of Mexico’s most idyllic vacation destinations, the Riviera Maya which is just south of another popular spring break destination, Cancun. Surrounded by picturesque tropical gardens, the Aqua Nick Waterpark Riviera Maya is the first to be built in all of North America.

This 500-meter water park is Nickelodeon-themed, making it especially suited for family fun! Your family can play on the multi-leveled water playground, Bikini Bottom Beach. Surrounded by characters from the popular Spongebob Squarepants cartoon, you and your family will splash and play amongst water jets, water guns, and tipping buckets.

For more organized fun, check out the Activity Pool. This spot features scheduled water activities for the entire family to enjoy and play together. Between activities, get adventurous on the floating pads and climbing wall.

After going down the resort’s 21 different waterslides, it might be time to chill out. Take a break on the 1100-foot-long Lazy River, riding past fun water features and themed sculptures. 

Don’t forget to catch the resort’s live entertainment, Nick Live! Poolside. This show pulls contestants from the audience to compete in fun games. Winners receive the most coveted prize of all, a chance at getting slimed!

3. Tidal Cove Waterpark 

The Tidal Cove Waterpark is located at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa in sunny Miami, Florida. With a 60-foot tower featuring seven different water slides, this park provides endless fun to last your entire spring break trip

One of the most popular attractions at the water park is the first-ever FlowRider Triple in the nation. This surf simulator creates waves up to 40’ wide and can accommodate up to three riders at once. Try riding for the first time, or show off your skills like a pro.

Perhaps the most daring attraction is the Aqua Drop slide. The bravest guests drop through a trap door and experience a free fall down a near-vertical drop and through the 360-degree loop at high speeds.

Children can play in the Kids Cove, a space built just for them! This Emoji-themed 4,000-square-foot aquatic playscape features a pool, water activities, and an ice cream-shaped tipping bucket.

Soak up that South Florida sun and take a break in the Lazy River, Laguna Pool, or Oasis Pool. All three spots are surrounded by a colorful, tropical landscape and provide space for families to cool off.
