March Break is the perfect time to do day trips,\u00a0as many museums and galleries offer March Break programming specifically for families. Spend the day exploring and learning with special exhibits at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontariosciencecentre.ca\/March-Break-Programs\/\">Ontario Science Centre<\/a> or the Royal Ontario Museum,\u00a0for an inclusive price with \u00a0a variety of activities for the entire family to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-03-10-at-11.19.02-PM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3417 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-03-10-at-11.19.02-PM-300x200.png\" alt=\"Day Trips - Ontario\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photograph via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rom.on.ca\/en\/blog\/tips-for-toddlers-visiting-the-rom\">The ROM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Road Trips:<\/p>\n<p>As much as Spring is on its way, March break is usually the time to get one last winter sport in. So why not take a road trip to a local ski hill and get one last run in before the seasons change? Local hills like Glen Eden in Milton, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.horseshoeresort.com\/march-break-.htm\">Horse Shoe Valley<\/a> in Barrie, not to mention the endless ski resorts located in both British Columbia and Alberta, all have winter programming and exclusive March Break packages for families. No matter what you\u2019re looking to do on the slopes, most of these places are only a road trip away, so load up the car and see where you end up.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-03-10-at-11.20.48-PM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3418 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-03-10-at-11.20.48-PM-300x199.png\" alt=\"Road Trips\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photograph via Pixabay<\/p>\n<p>What are you doing this March Break?
