Fun & Free Family Activities

Nothing beats pending quality time with your family! With Family Day coming up and the need for weekend activities, let us give you a few suggestions on where to go. Sadly, it’s just a bit too cold to be able to enjoy a day at the beach, but here are a few free activities you can do with your family in Toronto, Chicago & Ottawa!

Evergreen’s Winter Village (Toronto)

Stop by Evergreen Brick Works’ Winter Village where there’s a strip of nature on the Don Valley in the heart of Toronto!

Admission is completely free along with many activities!

Winterlude (Ottawa)

Winterlude is a 3-weekend celebration of the coldest season of the year! From ice sculptures to a large snow playground, you’ll find yourself having a great time, but Winterlude only lasts for a short time, so don’t wait.
