ZOOM! Family Sundays at Harbourfront Centre

For those of you who are looking for somewhere to take your kids on the weekend, Harbourfront Centre always delivers quality family programs. ZOOM! Family Sundays actually started back in September and is winding down, but there are still two opportunities to spend a fun-filled afternoon of family activities: December 10th and 17th from 1-5 p.m. And did I mention it's free?

ZOOM! activities include concerts, tours of the art exhibitions, readings at the Children's Reading Library, puppet theatre, and skating at the Natrel Rink. Gallery Kids brings kids and parents into the The Power Plant at York Quay Centre from 2-4 pm on Sunday.

Visit Harbourfront Centre for more information on ZOOM! and other family programming.

Free Ice Skating at Harbourfront Centre's Natrel Rink

As the temperature continues to drop, it seems that our outdoor activity level inevitably plummets with it. However, in true Canadian form, Toronto offers a great venue for free ice skating down at the Harbourfront.

The Natrel Rink opens next Saturday, November 18th. Admission is free and there is even music to provide a backdrop for your ice capades.

There are facilities available including indoor lockers and changing rooms. Parking is also available, but unless you're taking a whole crew it's probably cheaper to take the TTC (509 or 510 Streetcar) or even better yet, walk. The rink is located just south of the York Quay Centre at 235 Queens Quay West.

To warm up, there is hot food and drinks available at EATS but it's closed on Mondays. Of course you can always bring your own thermos of hot chocolate goodness to keep the cost to a minimum.

If you don't have skates, not to worry, you can rent them for $7, or $6 for children and seniors.

For more information visit the Harbourfront Centre.
