York Durham Headwaters - Shoestring Summer

Research Ahead of Time

One of our biggest tips for saving money on summer fun with kids is to do a little research ahead of time. Many family-friendly destinations in Ontario have deals so take a look at websites and social media as you plan your summer adventures. For example, the third Sunday of every month is “Family Sundays” at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg. All day long they have special drop-in programming like hands-on art workshops, storytelling circles and interactive tours. Plus each Sunday has a different theme, meaning no “Family Sunday” will be the same!
