Hello,
Could someone recommend a National Park that is good to visit during spring break? My 7 year-old son is very interested in visiting National Parks, so I'm looking for one. Thanks in advance. |
| How far? Anywhere? Everglades?" |

Grand Canyon
Sedona (not a national park, but still beautiful) Smoky Mountains Everglades |
|
We did the Everglades for spring break a few years ago. I'm not sure when your spring break is but the year we did it, it was kind of late--mid April. It was HOT and there were a lot of mosquitos, I think a few weeks earlier would have been better. But it was still amazing.
We camped, which is when we experienced the most mosquitos. If you stay in a hotel and are only out during the day you won't have as many issues. |

Any of them? I don't think you can go wrong.
I just saw some pictures of Acadia National Park and now that's on my list to visit one day. Probably in the summer though, might be cold at spring break. |

spring break is a really tough time of year for national parks. most are still pretty cold then.
Arches might be nice that time of year or Zion. |
|
Shenandoah? Or smoky mountain?
Agree it's a great time for Grand Canyon but might be tough to get reservations now. Saguaro national park and painted desert/petrified forest are all in Arizona. Or maybe Zion or Bryce? All the southwestern ones would have nice weather. Or the Alamo? Anything else in Texas? Or Louisiana? |
Bryce will be cold. Zion would be good if you're ok with not hiking the Narrows. |
we were at Bryce and Zion in late May on year. Bryce was freezing and it snowed! Zion was in the 80's. It's crazy what elevation can do! |

| Saguaro! Not far from the Tuscon airport. When we went it was warm enough for pleasant hiking during the daytime and for swimming/eating outside in the late afternoon and early evening. Then it cooled down at night and we went in the hot tub! |
