Spring Break in HBURG

Enjoy the great outdoors with a run or ride down the Longleaf Trace, an afternoon filled with animals, a day on the river, or by splattering your friends with paint.

With specialty drinks and the re-opening of the kid favorite Splash Pad, you’re sure to stay cool while you check out all the animals at Hattiesburg Zoo’s Spring Break Adventure. Make time while you’re at the Zoo for the High Ropes Adventure Course, the interactive, barrier-free Wallaby exhibit, and a snow cone, too! The zoo will also be hosting its Spring Break Adventure, complete with animal encounters, live animal enrichment, and a splash pad beach party!

It’s every man for himself at Eagle Action Sportz! Hattiesburg’s premier paintball field is perfect for any skill level, so gear up and pick your hiding spot because the competition starts now! Try one of the three tournament style fields, or get carried away and try them all. Catch your breath between games at on-site picnic tables.  

Leave your cares at home and float with Black Creek Canoe Rental. Choose between a kayak or canoe and explore the scenic sights of DeSoto National Forest. Fun and easy trips for groups of all ages! 

  
No trip to HBURG would be complete without a little art or shopping!

Cozy up to a bowl of popcorn and enjoy a film at The Grand Theatre or Southwest Theaters. With movies, old and new, you can sit back, relax, and have a grand ole’ time!

Calling all those young at heart! Take a tour of downtown Hattiesburg and wander through each alleyway. Eventually, you will stumble upon a world of magic. The Hattiesburg Pocket Museum is hidden in the heart of downtown and just waiting for you to come and explore. Pack a lunch and make an afternoon of it at their picnic tables, and remember, it's fun to look at but not to touch.

Spend the weekend browsing merchandise, old and new, at The Lucky Rabbit. Make sure to stop by this junk-joint full of antiques, vintage items, handmade goods, and more. Hours of the Lucky Rabbit vary. Lucky, you! On March 4, get lost in the endless amount of retail at the outdoor flea market and leave with a bag full of antiques!

Once you’ve crafted your own HBURG spring break adventure, enjoy a local dining option! Hattiesburg is home to many kid-friendly restaurants like Ed’s Burger Joint, Glory Bound Gyro Co., and Keg & Barrel.
