Looking for fun things to do during March Break? There are so many places to visit & things to do in Hamilton, and the Halton area.
Head on over to Bronte Creek Provincial Park and check out the Maple Syrup Festival – an outdoor event for all ages. Admission is $17.00 per car & if you bring your puppies, make sure they’re on a leash. While you’re there, stay awhile and explore the trails, let the kids play at the Play Barn or climb the big hill and look over Burlington/Oakville.
If you’re in the Hamilton area, you can check out the Maple Syrup Festival at Westfield Heritage Village.

Admission rates are: $12 for adults, $10 for seniors (65+), $6.50 for ages 6-17 & kids 5 and under are free.
The RBG (Royal Botanical Gardens) in Burlington is another awesome place to explore. As a born & raised Burlingtonian, the RBG has always been a fun spot to visit with family or friends, and they have so much to offer. Their website describes them as, “a living, interactive museum filled with natural wonders, including 1,100 hectares (2,700 acres) of breathtaking gardens and spectacular nature sanctuaries.” Thats’s not even it… there’s also 32 km of trails, the world’s largest lilac collection & they offer fun events such as ‘Frogs!‘ that’s currently running at the main centre at 680 Plains Rd. West. Admission costs are: $14.16 for adults, $11.50 for students & seniors, $7.96 for ages 4-12. Or, just buy your family an annual pass so you can keep on enjoying everything that the RBG offers, year-round.
