A Spring Break Your Family Will Never Forget
The key to an amazing spring break is to find activities that result in lifelong family memories. Thankfully, it’s easy to make unforgettable memories in Colorado. Here’s a collection of Colorado spring trips that your kids will never forget, and neither will you.
SLED & ZIP LINE IN FRISCO:
When it comes to family travel, Frisco, Colorado, tops the list. While the town is definitely a gem, it certainly is not hidden; it's located along I-70, just an hour and 20 minutes west of Denver.
The entire family will enjoy thrills at the Frisco Adventure Park, which is mere minutes from most of the town’s lodging properties. The park’s attractions during winter months are the multi-lane tubing hill and beginner ski and ride hill, which are both serviced by an easy-to-ride surface lift.

There’s also an onsite Nordic Center for cross country skiing, as well as horse and sleigh rides by Two Below Zero.
Another exciting option is to book an outing at Top of the Rockies Zip Line. Just 26 minutes from Frisco, this is one of Colorado’s most thrilling zip line adventures and one of the only zip line excursions in the state that is open during the winter.
