Kids Eat Free
Spring break budgets can get tight with all those extra mouths to feed, but fear not—Kids Eat Free spots are our secret weapon! Picture this: you’re sipping a coffee while the kids chow down on gratis grub at local gems like TooJay’s Deli (Mondays after 4 p.m. with an adult meal.) Or enjoy a night at Miller’s Ale House (Tuesdays, one free kid’s meal per adult entrée).
It’s a win-win—happy bellies, happy wallets—and you might even sneak in a mama moment of peace. Check out our full list for more tasty deals across the Coast!

Indoor Play Spaces
When the Florida sun gets too sassy or a rain shower sneaks in, Indoor Play Spaces are our go-to hideouts! Teeny Town Play Café in Port St. Lucie has ball pits and slides for the littles (socks required!), while Urban Air Adventure Park in PSL offers trampolines and ninja courses for the wild ones.

Petting Zoos and Farms
Who doesn’t love a fuzzy friend? Petting Zoos and Farms are a spring break slam dunk for animal-loving kiddos! Head to Peace, Love, Goat in Port St. Lucie for baby goat snuggles (book ahead!), or hit Eastside Acres Ranch next door to pet alpacas and mini horses.
Splash Pads
Spring break heat calls for a cool-down, and Splash Pads are where it’s at! Tradition Square’s splash pad in Port St. Lucie (open daily, 9 a.m. to dusk) has a creek vibe and shady spots for mamas to chill, while Sailfish Splash Waterpark in Stuart ups the ante with slides and a lazy river (check daily rates).
Over in Jensen Beach, Indian Riverside Park’s fountain (9 a.m. to 6 p.m.) is free and fab for tiny toes.
Brunch
Spring break calls for a tasty treat, and Brunch spots are our family-friendly fuel-up faves! Head to The Chef’s Table in Palm City for organic twists like captain crunch French toast, or hit Cracker Barrel in Jensen for affordable classics (hash-brown casserole, anyone?). Over in Stuart, Jetty’s Waterfront Restaurant serves up eggs benedict with lagoon views—perfect for a mid-morning recharge. These yummy stops keep everyone happy and ready for more spring break shenanigans!
