Family Day in Ontario is on February 16th.
Finding something for your kids to do is a challenge at times.
The Museums of Burlington run a Family Day program – two sessions. They fill up very quickly, so if this interests you, book now.
Family Day at Ireland House Museum for a Victorian Board Game Café! Try playing games that the Ireland family would have enjoyed during the Victorian era, like chess, checkers, snakes & ladders, and cribbage.
Victorian parlour games will also be available to play throughout the historic home, and families can take turns trying old-fashioned children’s toys.
There will also be games from the historic collection on display as you tour the museum. Whether you’re a seasoned player or trying these games for the first time, staff and volunteers will be on site to help explain the rules and get you started.
Beverages and baked goods will be available for purchase in the Oakridge Interpretive Centre. Ticket includes admission to Ireland House Museum and access to all available games.
Pre-registration is recommended. There are two time slots available to book: 10am and 12pm. Link to book this event.
