Family Fun for March Break

By on 0
Aquarium of Niagara

The kids are riled up in anticipation of an entire week off from school, but the parents on the other hand are soon to be feeling the dread. We’ve compiled a few family fun activities from across Niagara to keep the children entertained and the parents sane!

Niagara Falls History Museum
(March 17th – March 20th, 10 am – 5 pm)

It’s March!  Do you need a break?  There’s plenty to do for the whole family at the Niagara Falls History Museum during March Break – Tuesday, March 17 through Friday, March 20, 2015, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

This year, Mountsberg Conservation brings three live native birds of prey from its Raptor Centre for you to meet and interact with.  There will be two Birds of Prey shows per day, at 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.  The actual birds on display – owls, hawks and/or falcons – may be different each day.

Learn about each bird’s individual story, their habitat, care and feeding. Many of the birds at the Raptor Centre have permanent injuries which have left them incapable of surviving on their own in the wild. Often, these injuries are caused by human activity, but with the help of these feathered ambassadors, the community can learn about how to share our environment with native birds of prey, and how to reduce the negative impact  we might have on them.

Then, explore the Museum on your own or take a Scavenger Hunt with you.  Create a craft.  Try on a reproduction War of 1812 uniform.  Walk a tightrope like a daredevil or build a bridge.  Watch the live Birds of Prey show and stay for a screening of the movie, Penguins of Madagascar, at 3:00.

Come for the whole day or as for long as you like!  Regular admission rates apply. The Niagara Falls History Museum is at 5810 Ferry Street, Niagara Falls, Ontario, L2G 1S9.  For more information call 905-358-5082 or check out our website at www.niagarafallsmuseums.ca.
