Getting the kids off the couch this March Break is
easy with our ever-expanding activity guide.
With a *new teen section*, there is even more on offer in the Downtown
core.
Both the civic museum
and the public library will
keep the kids busy with interactive exhibits and special events. The second annual scavenger hunt organized by
Fantescapes will see mini sleuths
follow clues and solve puzzles around Downtown.
Guelph’s first games café, The
Boardroom, is waiving the cover charge for kids under 13, and The Bookshelf has daily family matinees
for just $7 a seat. If the weather stays
cool, there will be skating at the Market Square rink. Go to the City of Guelph
website
for daily updates on the rink.
After all that exertion, take the kids and eat for
free* at one of many participating
cafes, bistros, pubs and restaurants. (*Each restaurant has its own
conditions attached to the offer, seen below, and these include grilled cheese
at The Cornerstone, a grab bag of candies at Sweet! and pancakes at The Vienna).
It’s not just the young ‘uns that get to enjoy themselves. Zombie movie matinees, two for one pizza
offers at Milano PIzza, and video
game tournaments at Afterlife
feature in the new teen section alongside beauty offers and dance classes to be
enjoyed with friends.
