Spring break in wine country might not sound like a family-friendly idea at first, but Newberg is ready to prove otherwise. This charming Oregon town blends tasting rooms, great restaurants, and scenic vineyards with plenty of activities designed for children. From hotels with swimming pools to walkable streets and hands-on art camps, Newberg delivers the best of both worlds.

Activities for Kids in Newberg During Spring Break
Kick off your stay by enrolling the kids (early!) in art camp at the Chehalem Cultural Center during spring break, March 23–25. With programming for early education and elementary ages led by talented local instructors, it’s a win for everyone. While they create their next masterpiece, parents can enjoy brunch in town, tee off at Chehalem Glenn Golf Course, book an early wine tasting, or relax with a spa treatment at The Allison.
Family-Friendly Adventures and Restaurants in Downtown Newberg
Once the family is reunited in the afternoons, wander through Critter Cabana and the neighboring ARK Pet Rescue to meet some furry friends before hopping across the street to Bubble Bear, the locals’ go-to for boba tea. When it’s time for dinner, there are plenty of family-friendly restaurants with menu items that will delight adults without raising the eyebrows of picky kids.
