Spring Break across the South is just around the corner with warming temperatures and pollen showers, which signals fun times ahead at the Hattiesburg Zoo. Spring Break at the Hattiesburg Zoo dates for 2026 are Friday, March 13th through Sunday the 22nd, closing only on Monday, March 16th.
On the first day of Spring Break at the Hattiesburg Zoo, the Splash Pad will be turned on and remain operational during the entire Spring and Summer seasons. This year’s Spring Break activities include games, animal encounters and special animal enrichments, bounce houses, scavenger hunts and crafts.
The Zoo’s docents will be at various locations throughout the park interacting with and educating visitors. Face painting will be available every day of Spring Break this year, and pricing for the High Adventure Ropes Course is offered at a discounted price for kids of all ages to tackle.
