Spring break in Livonia isn’t just for college kids heading south. It’s the perfect time for locals and visitors to shake off winter and enjoy adventures right here in town. Whether you’re planning a family outing, a solo recharge, or a friends’ weekend, Livonia offers plenty of ways to make spring break memorable, without emptying your wallet.
Bounce, Flip, and Zip: Urban Air Adventure Park
If your idea of spring break involves bouncing off the walls (literally), Urban Air Adventure Park on Plymouth Road is your go-to spot. This indoor playground is packed with thrills for all ages:
- Trampolines galore
- Sky Rider indoor zipline
- Climbing walls
- Dodgeball courts
- Ropes course
- Bumper cars
Kids under 7 have their own area, so the little ones can play safely while older kids (and grown-ups) tackle the more daring attractions. Urban Air isn’t just a rainy-day backup—it’s a full-blown adventure zone that’s open year-round, making it a top pick for unpredictable Michigan weather. Pro tip: If you’re planning a spring birthday, check out their party deals for extra savings.
Dance the Night Away: Livonia AIR Spring Dance
Ready to show off your best moves? The Livonia AIR Spring Dance is happening on Saturday, April 26, from 5–7 p.m. at the Civic Park Senior Center. This event is designed for individuals with special needs, but everyone ages 12 and up is welcome.

It’s a great way to connect with the community and kick off spring with some fun on the dance floor.
Sip for a Cause: Lagers for Learning

It’s a perfect way for parents and kids to bond, stretch, and find a little zen together. No yoga experience required—just bring your sense of humor and a willingness to try something new.
Bookworms Unite: Rec Center Readers Book Club

Books are available at Livonia Public Libraries, so you can join the discussion even if you’re new to the club.
