Keeping my kids busy in winter is hard enough, but when a new holiday is added to the mix, the challenge is greater…but in a good way. Family Day comes just when we need it most, mid way through the cold, snow and mush of February. There are so many great things you can do together on this special day to reconnect with your kiddos and just spend the day as a family, but I have some plans you will want to make for the whole weekend!
This year take your family out to the first annual Kidapalooza!!! A fun-filled weekend awaits at Kidapalooza, an indoor Family Festival taking place at the Markham Fair Grounds on Family Day Weekend, February 13th – 15th, 2016. Featuring over 35,000 square feet of activity stations, play zones, interactive inflatables, a performance stage, dance parties and over 30 vendors – this three-day long celebration of the imagination will have families creating, exploring and playing together.
You and your family can create,make and take home crafts, participate in group art installations, play in our build it zone creating with blocks, newspapers or sand, design a cardboard city, participate in mini yoga sessions, soccer demonstrations or ride through a bike trail, play dress up, visit a petting zoo, sing-a-long and take photos with princesses, enjoy a magic show or take in the wide variety of other stage shows plus so much more!! Man, I am out of breath after listing all of that! You have to join the fun at Kidapalooza and see for yourself.

I think my kids would be interested to try out the interactive inflatables first
Make believe it!
I think we’d want to visit the petting zoo first.
My son would go straight to the inflatables. He could hang out in a bouncy castle all day!!
I would go straight for the petting zoo ,I love to see the young animals as much as the kids and very little opportunity in the city! There is so much going on we will have to plan it all out so we can see and do everything!
We would go to the petting zoo.
