On Monday, Feb. 16, families can explore a citywide lineup of hands-on activities, live performances, nature adventures and high-energy attractions designed with the whole family in mind.
From theatre magic and creative play to skating, reptiles, and LEGO builds, Vaughan makes it easy to design a Family Day that fits every age and interest.
