Big Fun for Little (and Big) Kids
If you’re travelling with kids—or just kids at heart—Guelph delivers on interactive, high-energy fun.
Children’s Art Factory is a must-visit for creative minds. With open-ended art projects, messy play, and guided workshops, it’s the kind of experience where kids can truly explore their creativity (and parents can relax knowing everyone’s engaged).
Looking to burn off some energy? Funvilla is packed with climbing structures, slides, and obstacle courses that keep kids moving for hours. It’s perfect for rainy days, winter weekends, or anytime you want guaranteed smiles.
After a full day of play, this is where staying overnight really pays off—no rushing home, no overtired kids in the car, just a cozy hotel stay and plans for more fun tomorrow.

Nothing says winter getaway quite like getting outside and embracing the season.
Lace up your skates at Market Square, where the outdoor rink offers a picture-perfect place to glide in the heart of downtown. With nearby cafés and shops, it’s easy to turn an afternoon skate into a full outing.
