Attention parents: spring break will be here before you know it, so now's the time to start making your plans for Peg City. We have great packages for Winnipeg's hotels during spring break, which includes properties with family- friendly swimming pools and themed water parks. Check them out by visiting Tourism Winnipeg's packages & deals section on our website: www.tourismwinnipeg. com/deals/hot-packages-and-deals Here are some of the amazing ways you can entertain the entire family while in Winnipeg this spring! SPECIFICALLY FOR THE KIDS Coinciding with Manitoba's Spring Break (March 26–30), the biggest kid-centric event is The Festival of Fools, a seven-day free family festival that takes place annually at The Forks. This is a real spectacle for the senses, with a daily dose of jugglers, acrobats, clowns and trapeze artists. Animal lovers can get nose-to-nose with polar bears and seals at the underwater viewing tunnels in Journey to Churchill, the award-winning northern species exhibit at Assiniboine Park Zoo that's also home to snowy owls, wolves, caribou and more. There's an animal viewing encounter to discover at every corner, whether you like majestic snow leopards, bison (including a rare blond one) or cuddly red pandas. Unlike your typical artifact museum, the Children's Museum at The Forks is all about hands-on learning fun for kids (and adults have a blast too). Slide down the Illusion Tunnel, perform water experiments in the Splash Lab and make works of art at Pop m'Art, which are just a handful of the 12 permanent galleries. Kiddies up to age 12 love to burn off energy at Winnipeg's indoor play structures. Kid City features a three-level play structure, toddler area, laser maze, air hockey, foosball tables and more, while Great Big Adventure has a play structure featuring seven 20-foot slides, toddler section, mini-sticks area, café for the parents and more. For more must-see, kid-approved activities to add to your to-do list, visit the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, FortWhyte Alive, Hermetic Code Tour, Manitoba Museum, Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada, Royal Canadian Mint, The Forks and Winnipeg Art Gallery. ACTIVITIES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Let's not kid ourselves, sometimes come spring it can get pretty slushy out there, so why not try on these indoor activities for size? At Sky Zone Trampoline Park you can let your kids jump around (and wear themselves out) in its huge, wall- to-wall trampoline arena. Or, everyone can shoot it up inside LaserTopia's 10,200 sq. ft. facility. If your crew is older and looking for some adrenaline- filled racing, Speedworld Indoor Kart Track is the place. Its motto is, "It's not like racing...it is racing!" which is right on the money as you can get some serious speed going here. As well, Winnipeg has a vast array of Escape Rooms located in areas throughout the city. These range from challenging for adults, to simpler rooms your kids will enjoy too.
