Spring Break is just around the corner, so lots of families will be heading south to Florida. The Bradenton area will have something for everyone: white sand beaches, museums, attractions, amazing food, outdoor adventure, and so much more.

Kolby Gayson, Marketing & Communications Director for the Bradenton Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, took a trip up north to the Fox 17 Morning Mix studio to share what families can experience for Spring Break, or beyond.

Flights to Bradenton on Allegiant are non-stop, and less than 3 hours, with some one-way flights costing less than $100.

Bradenton is closely located on many beaches that are open and ready for relaxation. The Bradenton area is great all year-round and is the perfect place to escape from chill Midwest winters.

Bradenton is also a special area for its unique food and drink scene. Family-friendly attractions and restaurants include:

○ Florida Maritime Museum
○ The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature
○ The Sandbar - parents can eat while their kids play on the beach
○ Cook your catch restaurants: list one or two
○ The Nest at Robinson Preserve
○ Paint a sand dollar at the Shiny Fish Emporium
