The Region of Waterloo Museums and Archives and the Region of Waterloo Library are hosting family-friendly events across Waterloo Region from March 14 to March 22, 2026. These programs are designed to give local children a chance to learn and play while school is out for the break.
The activities are held at several local heritage sites, including the Ken Seiling Waterloo Region Museum, Schneider Haus National Historic Site, and McDougall Cottage Historic Site. Families can take part in a variety of workshops, games, and creative projects throughout the week.
Most of the events do not require any registration and are included with the standard cost of museum admission. This initiative provides an affordable way for parents to keep their kids busy with engaging activities that cover history and creativity.
While many activities are open to everyone, a few special sessions require a fee and advance booking, such as a workshop for building fairy houses. Families are encouraged to check for which specific programs might need a spot reserved before they head out to the museums.
