Easter Vacation Getaways

The Christian holiday of Easter takes place in the springtime, on the first Sunday of the paschal full moon in March or April. The holiday often coincides with spring school vacation for children across the U.S. That makes Easter a great time to take a family vacation. Enjoy the holiday traditionally or rest and relax at one of many warm-weather destinations.
  1. Atlantic City

    • Atlantic City celebrates tradition for Easter. Considered the oldest parade in the history of the United States, the Atlantic City Easter Parade travels down the Boardwalk through Kennedy Plaza and down New Jersey Avenue. Dress up in traditional Easter attire or a festive costume and brave the judges to possibly win the prize for best dressed on Easter Sunday. Eat Easter dinner at the Wolfgang Puck American Grille. Bring the kids to Atlantic City or go as a couple. There's plenty to do and enjoy, especially during the scenic beauty of early spring.

    Caribbean

    • Toss out tradition and welcome the warm weather of a Caribbean vacation. The ultimate relaxation destination includes islands such as Aruba, the Bahamas and Jamaica. Get your tan started for summer by spending Easter vacation lounging on sandy beaches. Enjoy water sports such as scuba diving, surfing, Ski-Dooing and swimming. Spend your holiday in an all-inclusive resort complete with fine dining, luxury accommodations and entertainment all in one location.

    New York City

    • New York City always makes a great getaway experience. NYC may not host the oldest Easter parade like Atlantic City, but the New York City Easter Parade surely impresses. Traveling down Fifth Avenue, New Yorkers revel in costumes, bonnets and their Sunday best all in the name of Easter. The festivities don't end at the parade either. Visit the Eggstravaganza in Central Park, where there's an egg race, egg hunt and even a visit from Peter Cottontail himself. Easter in NYC offers fun for the whole family.

    Israel

    • Reflect on the religious nature of the Easter holiday in cities like Bethlehem, Nazareth and Calvary in Israel. Remember the roots of the holiday and pay homage to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Visit the areas where he lived, worked and prayed. This is truly the vacation of a lifetime for Christians, especially during Easter.
