Ontario’s Must Do Activities

Ontario is the place to be this March Break. Whether you want to go on an outdoor adventure at a provincial park or go back in time at one of Ontario’s museums, there are plenty of things for families to do across the province next week:

• Learn why all living things – including humans – are machines built to survive at the new Biomechanics: The Machine Inside exhibit at the Ontario Science Centre.
• Skate through the woods at MacGregor Point Provincial Park where summer campgrounds become an ice skating trail.

• Visit the Northern Owls exhibit at the Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory for a special look into the secretive world of owls, featuring live outdoor bird displays and demonstrations.
• Dive into Out of the Depths: The Blue Whale Story at the Royal Ontario Museum, with hands-on marine-themed activities and a massive 80-foot blue whale on display.
• Explore special exhibitions at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, including an exhibition of abstract works by iconic Canadian painter Lawren Harris, storytelling circles, a drop-in art workshop and a special family performance.

• Embark on a guided nature hike or owl prowl with the Rondeau Provincial Park naturalists during the park’s annual Wings of Spring festival.
• Discover 101 Inventions that Changed the World at Science North in Sudbury, and learn how creativity and curiosity shaped our world.

• Unravel the secrets of the snow maze at Fort William Historical Park in Thunder Bay, try out snow sculpting and learn winter survival skills.
