March Break 2013 Things To Do and Places to Go North of Toronto for Kids and Family Fun

Relax, take a break and have fun!

Real suggestions to get your kids active in body, mind and soul this March Break.

Now is not the time to spring clean. Parents need to think back to their childhood and remember those carefree and fun March Breaks that made ever lasting memories of good times with friends and family.  The world won't end if you take a day or two or more and have very few responsibilities but to relax and have fun. Winter and her fun sports continues in pretty much all of the ski areas for now so embrace winter one last time and ski, snowboard and try out some snowshoes!

Refer to our SKI AND SNOWBOARD page for links to your favorite ski place's current conditions, web cams, rates and ski school information. We recommend you always check conditions before you go at this time of the year.
