Ontario Kids Family Events North of Toronto for January 18-20, 2013

Ontario Kids Winter Joy
Ontario is in the midst of unusual seasonal temperatures. Who knew we'd have so many mild days....in the beginning of January! Has it gotten in the way of keeping busy with fun family activities and getaways, no.

Due to the awesome-ness of the area ski operators, there has been little disruption in the ski industry. We recommend you double check if you're heading out to cross-country ski and snowshoe on the trails but as far as dowhill skiing, snowboarding and snow tubing go, it's pretty much business as usual. Open times and some runs might be affected but your family will have no issues in finding some fun on the area ski hills and trails listed here:

BLUE MOUNTAIN | HARDWOOD SKI AND BIKE | HORSESHOE RESORT | SIR SAM'S SKI AND BIKE | SCENIC CAVES NORDIC CENTRE | SNOW VALLEY RESORT | WYE MARSH

The Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre in Midland also offers kids and families a beautiful forrest and marsh setting for exploring walking adventures. Kids of all ages love to feed the chickadees, they land right in your hand! It is a delight for the little ones and enjoyed by everyone.

Winter Carnival Fun is filling the weekend calendars. If you're a native Ontarian or visiting the province, you can get the full winter experience at any festivals. Toboggan races, ice sculptures, snowman contests, dog sledding and so many traditional and new winter and uber-Canadian events will have your family having fun and being active all weekend long.
