Ontario Kids Family Events North of Toronto for February 21-24

Last weekend of February!

The last weekend of February is on deck, it's hard to believe that March and Spring are around the corner and soon the snow will melt and flowers will bloom. Has your family been hibernating? Are you looking for a change in scenery out of the city and suburbs? Within an hour or two of Toronto a winter wonderland of fun activities is waiting to entertain your kids and well, time flies when kids are having fun!

Of course, we totally recommend heading out to our fabulous ski hills and trails operators. Big and small ski resorts can give your family a great day (or more!) of fresh air, exercise, fun...and exhaustion! Blue Mountain also has the Burton Riglet Park where your wee ones can learn snowboard techniques with some really neat equipment courtesy of Burton Snowboards.
