3 family-friendly spring break ‘staycation’ destinations
Spring break looks a little different these days, doesn’t it?
Instead of mixing margaritas, you’re making your own stuffed animals or racing micromachines.
And since you’re still a fun parent, aunt, uncle, nonny, or pop-pop—you’re all about having a fun-filled adventure with the kids. You know, somewhere exciting but without having to travel to all ends of the earth. A one-day, one-night road trip, perhaps, that won’t disappoint.
We’ve been there! So much so that we’ve put together a short list of places you can go for a family-friendly weekend in Western New York or the Southern Tier.
Here’s what we’re thinking:
Science, diners, and dives in Buffalo, NY

Pancakes? Hotcakes? Flapjacks? Stack ‘em up and mow ‘em down in an authentic diner car that was built in 1937.
