March Break Family Activities for Oakville Moms

March Break is a great opportunity to spend some quality together time with your family. There is lots of options for Oakville moms and their families to have some fun in the Halton Region or the Greater Toronto Area. Whether you are looking for outdoor fun or a new adventure, these options have something for all Oakville families to consider. And of course, momstown Oakville has plenty going on this week too!

March Break Ideas for Oakville Families

1. It's Maple Syrup Time at the Halton Conservation Area
Choose from two locations to enjoy some tasty pancakes and about how maple syrup is made

2. Bronte Creek Maple Syrup Festival

3. Royal Botanical Gardens Dinosaur Exhibit
Live Animal Shows Daily During March Break!

4. Go Skating! Click here for public skating locations and times in Oakville during March Break

5. Head to the Ontario Science Centre. They have a whole floor dedicated to kids (best for kids 15 months up to 6 years). Click here for their March schedule

6. The Toronto Zoo is having daily promotions throughout March Break

7. Visit ROM for their Passport Around The World exhibit

8. Visit the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory for their BugFeast: Sweet Treats! exhibit. That's right, it's time to eat some tasty insects!

9. Hit the local slopes! Glen Eden offers rentals and lessons and has tubing Friday through Sundays.

10. Get Busy Indoors - Crack open that board game you haven’t had time to play together yet, plan a puzzlepalooza afternoon, get baking and try a new muffin recipe or pull out the craft supplies and cut, glue and draw until little hearts are content.

11. Think Green! - Plan a St Patrick's Party together! Decorate the house green, bake some Irish soda bread and Guinness stew, create shamrock craft decor and invite the neighbours over for some board games and green kool-aid!

12. Hang out at your local library! There are always things to do but the Oakville Public Library has also got some special March Break programs going on.

13. Take the kids to a performance at the Oakville Centre for Performing Arts! Tales from the Garden is a show for kids 5-10 years and there are 4 performance times over March Break.

And if you find yourself itching to take just a bit more of a getaway, there is no better place for a family to have some winter fun than at Fern Resort in Orillia. Here are 10 reasons why your family will love it!

Whatever you choose to do, have a great time creating some family memories and enjoy a break.
