Spring Break at the Witte

Benefits
Plan Your Visit

This Spring Break, explore, create and celebrate 100 years of curiosity.

Spend the week discovering hands-on activities, live performances and pop-up experiences across campus — including a 1920s-inspired Ice Cream Social that nods to the Witte’s founding era, and throwback fun in the H-E-B Science Treehouse with The Robot Zoo, a larger-than-life 1990s favorite.

From lawn games and art activities to music, film, and daily family-friendly activations, Spring Break at the Witte spans a century of discovery — with new experiences and extended hours until every day!

Texas Ceramics: From Land to Hand is generously supported by the Russell Hill Rogers Fund for the Arts.
