We’ve rounded up the top events for March Break in our family friendly events guide. We hope it helps keep the kids busy and entertained during the school break with places to go, and things to do for kids in and around the Toronto area. There are as many events indoors as out – and hopefully we will enjoy a little warmer weather in the GTA so you can enjoy both options! Find festivals, workshops, special exhibits and activities – we hope you have a week to remember and make some great family memories!
