There is nothing like spring break with the family. A great place to go with kids is the Jumpin’ Jamoree. They have all kinds of themed rooms filled with bouncers to exhaust even the most energetic child. Families with children will have the time of their lives playing on the slides and getting through obstacle courses at the play center. There are plenty of interactive games for the older ones to enjoy. They also have fun and safe activities for toddlers. Who could beat a day just jumping around?

An overnight stay at a hotel is just what many “staycationers” need. The Doubletree in Northlake is just the place to stay. The pricing is reasonable for an overnight stay or even an extended weekend away from home. Some of the amenities include outdoor pool, Internet access, and a Jacuzzi tub in the room! This is the prime location to visit because it is close to everything in the Northlake area, including the mall.

Get a luxury facial as well as a nice mud body treatment during your staycation.
