For Family Day can bring long lineups so it makes sense to brainstorm some fun activities in advance.

Here are some ideas:

1) Celebrate Family Day at Arctic Adventure in Aurora

Enjoy outdoor activities like mini snow tubing, body zorbs and skating. There will also be fire juggling, ice carving and a wildlife show throughout the day.

2) Get active thanks to the Town of Georgina

Georgina offers a variety of Family Day activities from public skating and skiing to snowboarding and tubing at the ROC to public swims (lane as well as parent and tot sessions).

3) Enjoy a nature-filled family day that embraces outdoor learning

Join the staff at Kortright Centre for Conservation to explore some of what our nature school has to offer: building forts, a campfire and more. All-ages, free.

4) Families create artwork inspired by the Varley Art Gallery’s permanent collection

Guided by an art educator. Sponsored by Aboveground Art Supplies. Minimum age: four. Morning session: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Afternoon session: 2 to 4 p.m. Free tours start on the hour: from 1 to 3 p.m.

5) The 5th annual Kidapalooza Family Festival
