Some Educational Activities in Toronto During the Winter Break


It’s the holidays! School’s out and your children need something to do. Here are some fun educational activities you and your child can do in Toronto during the winter break.

1. Royal Ontario Museum (ROM)
Located minutes away from the Subway, this museum is fun, interactive, and educational. You can spend hours exploring the various exhibits (especially the new dinosaurs exhibits, it’s pretty awesome). This place is great for all ages and there is nothing better than watching your child eyes light up as they see the different exhibits. Plus, entering after 4:30 pm means you get 50% off admission!

2. Ontario Science Centre
Yep, another museum! Sorry, but they’re just so much educational fun. For myself, the highlight at the Ontario Science Centre is the IMAX theater. The dome shape really creates an immersive experience and is always amazing to watch. While a little out of the way for myself, the Ontario Science Centre amazing IMAX theater make it worth the trip. Oh and the rest of the museum is fun and interesting too. But anyways, trust me, you haven’t experienced IMAX or any movie until you’ve been to IMAX at the Ontario Science Centre.

3. Cavalcade of Lights
Gain some art education with this exclusive Toronto event. The lights that line downtown really bring the city to life and are a great demonstration of the power of art. Also if you want to throw in some physical education to the experience, go have a skate on the ice rink at Nathan Phillips Square. It’s always a fun family bonding experience. Plus it’s free (unless you’re renting skates), and how can you go wrong with a free activity?

There, three days used on three fun activities. Hope that helps keep you and your family busy for the rest of the winter break!

Happy Holidays,
David
