March Break In Mississauga

Did you forget to book the kids into camp for March Break? Do you prefer to let them have real time off? Either way, you don’t want them staring at screens for seven days, so we’ve come up with a list of super fun things to do in Mississauga and the surrounding areas during the break!

Get Some Syrup

Terra Cotta Conservation Area is hosting its annual Maple Syrup Festival, with demonstrations on how delicious, sticky and sweet maple syrup is made, taffy on snow (a must have!) and pancakes! Each day features live entertainment, including the Four Paws Flying Dog Show and The Country Saw chainsaw carving! Get more details on their site and buy your tickets too.

The Bradley Museum is also featuring Maple Magic 2019, where visitors can learn all about traditional methods of syrup production, taught to early settlers by the Anishinaabe people. Take a tour with a guide, try some taffy and even pet some furry creatures at the petting zoo. Open from 12 – 4 p.m. every day of March Break, visit their site for more information and directions.

Downtime With Storytime

The libraries in Mississauga are offering some great free (some with very low fees) March Break activities for children, including:

  • Storytime with songs, rhymes and literacy activities.
  • A Peppa Pig party storytime.
  • Crafting events, including card making, 3D model painting, origami and more (some require pre-registration. See the link below!)
  • Board games and playoffs.
  • Performances of live magic, music, mad science, and even superhero training!
  • A family gardening workshop (we’re all for that one!)
  • Special activities for tweens (ages 9-12), including crafts, t-shirt stencilling and more.
  • And for older kids (11+): Photography class, video game challenges and more!

Check out the full list here!

Play All Day At Playdium

Can’t get away for the break? Playdium will make your kids feel like you’ve gone away to the most fun place on earth, if only for a day. With games, simulators and virtual reality, the 40,000 sq. foot complex is the indoor playground that your kids will thank you for taking them to for months to come! Special hours during March Break, opening at 10 a.m. every day, check out their site for details.

A Spectator Sport For All

If you and your family like hockey, March Break is a perfect time to catch the Mississauga Steelheads, playing at the Paramount Fine Foods Centre, in Mississauga. Games are currently scheduled for March 8, 12, 15 and 17. Click here for times and tickets and see you at centre ice!

If you’d rather actually be skating, the Skate on the Square will be open for March Break, daily from 10 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., weather permitting, with rentals and skate sharpening available.

Indoor Dinos?

Looking for a little indoor activity, combined with some shopping and a nibble at the food court? Erin Mills Town Centre is hosting Dino Days, from 12-4 p.m. daily March 11 – 15. Kids can experience today’s dinos with Reptilia Mobile Zoo, create a dino craft and take in some amazing displays.

Events On Specific Dates

As the winter weather eases, now is the perfect time to start planning your garden for spring, summer and fall, a family activity that everyone can get involved in. Encourage kids by offering them a section to plant what they’d like, however they’d like. It’s a great way to expose kids to the healthful benefits of getting outside and getting dirty!
