Spring Break 2026 Activities
Spring Break is right around the corner, and if you’re staying local this year, the good news is there’s plenty to do in Chilliwack to keep the kids busy. Whether you’re looking to get outside, burn off some energy indoors, or try something new, here are a few ideas to help make the most of the break.
1. Explore Local Trails
Spring is a great time to get outside and enjoy Chilliwack’s trails. Family-friendly options like the Vedder River Rotary Trail, Teapot Hill, or the paths around Island 22 offer beautiful views and a chance for kids to stretch their legs.
2. Visit the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve
This is one of the best spots in town for nature walks and wildlife spotting. During spring break there are often camps and activities where kids can explore wetlands, learn about local wildlife, and even do art inspired by nature.
3. Make a Splash at the Chilliwack Landing Leisure Centre
If the weather isn’t cooperating, the wave pool, waterslide, and hot tubs make this a perfect indoor activity. It’s a great way for kids to burn off energy on those rainy spring days.
4. Get Creative at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre
Spring break art classes and workshops give kids the chance to try painting, crafting, and other hands-on creative activities in a fun environment.
5. Try Indoor Rock Climbing at Project Climbing Centre Chilliwack
Looking for something a little more adventurous? Indoor climbing is a fun challenge for kids and adults, with routes for all skill levels.
6. Hit the Playgrounds
Why settle for one park when you can make a day of it? Sardis Park, Vedder Park, Webster Park, and the newly redesigned Bill Kelly Park are all great spots to climb, slide, and run around.
7. Check Out Library Events
Local branches of the Fraser Valley Regional Library often host storytimes, crafts, and special activities for kids during spring break — and the best part is many of them are free.
8. Play Mini Golf at Cultus Lake Golf Club
Their putting course is a fun activity for families and a great excuse to spend a little time at Cultus Lake during the break.
9. Go Bird Watching or Wildlife Spotting
Chilliwack is a great place for birding, especially around Island 22 or the wetlands near the river. Bring binoculars and see what you can spot. Maybe pair this with a good bike ride to get a full scope of the beautiful area we live.
10. End the Day With Ice Cream
Because sometimes the best spring break activity is simply grabbing a treat and enjoying the sunshine. A stop at Kent’s Ice Cream Co. makes a pretty great ending to the day.
