I seriously cannot imagine telling my friends we are going to Arkansas for spring break with a straight face.

Kiawah
Amelia Island
Zion NP + Gunlock State Park
If you ski, there are tons more domestic options - too numerous to list.

Grand Targhee or Alaska for late-season skiing.
Kauai for surfing, snorkeling, hiking, and golf. Stay at One Hanalei if you want to splurge. Surf in Hanalei. Hike Kalalau and Waimea Canyon. Golf in Princeville.
Southern Utah for the national parks and outdoors - our favorite is Zion, and we love the town of Springdale—Moab for mountain biking and a day trip to Arches. St. George, Utah, is an underrated destination where you can stay for a week without getting bored. Road biking is unbeatable, and they have plenty of rentals, hiking in Snow Canyon, and go to whatever a mature theater is in town at Tuachan - the most beautiful outdoor venue. Lots of good golf around, too. Rent a boat or ATVs at Sand Hollow. Definitely don't stay in a hotel - too many good vrbo's - the Inn at Entrada has townhomes that are ideal for small families, and Arcadia development is good for larger families.
If you like baseball, spring training in the Scottsdale area is fun.
Palm Springs plus Joshua Tree.

AZ - Phoenix, Sedona, got snowed out of Grand Canyon but could do that and we had planned to.

Thank you - My answer is on this thread.
Sedona/GC/Phoenix
Wouldn't pick for an early/March break, we went mid-April and it was fantastic.

Only ignorant people say this. Combine a great trip to Arkansas with sites along the way in TN. Beautiful nature, great history and delicious food.
What is the fixation here with Arkansas? Is it the new Ritz Carlton Dorado Reserve?
Duggar lovers
Your comment was lame the first time.

Best spring breaks were probably Scottsdale, Sedona, page/ antelope canyon/ horseshoe bend, Grand Canyon when they were teens.
Also during Covid with 9th and 7th grader, we did a road trip to Chicago, stopping in Pittsburgh, Notre dame/ south bend, and Ann Arbor in the way and back. You could also stop in Cleveland or Cincinnati. 3-4 days in Chicago in spring was fun.
Other week long trips we’ve liked, not at spring break but you could: NYC 3-4 days, Philly for 3-ish days, LA area for week, Yellowstone/grand Teton/ Jackson Hole, and of course Outer banks, Jersey shore and cape cod in summer.

Could fly to Miami and rent a car. Lots of kid friendly attractions like a very solid aquarium and turtle rescue center. Also, Bahia Honda State Park is beautiful. We did Tucson one year which was good but there was a cold snap so instead of going to the rodeo my kids swam in the 80 degree pool in the snow. We have done two west coast college trips during spring break and those were very nice too.
Tucson rodeo is always in February so you couldn’t have done that during spring break anyway. Sigh—I miss getting rodeo off from school! Agree Tucson weather can be variable (except summer which is invariably hot) but with climate change it’s now really unusual to have cold days during spring break.
