I. Family & Kids Activities this weekend
1. December Holiday Break
Fun, activities and learning are on our calendar for Winter Break. In fact, there will be a sleigh’s worth of fun for the whole family at the Aviation Museum! Our favourite holiday aeronautical super flyer – the reindeer – will make an appearance at the craft activity station where we’re making Reindeer Boomerangs. We’ll have a dress-up station stocked with vintage aviation uniforms and don’t forget to drop by Skyways – our interactive kids play zone.
Regular Admission
Free admission at the Zoo for children 12 years and under until January 8th.
2. MunschBusters!
Another holiday season, another high-energy, madcap presentation of the stories of Robert Munsch by Prairie Theatre Exchange. This year, get ready for tons of surprises, with lots of high-octane energy and loads of laughs. You’ll see much-loved classic Munsch stories, including Alligator Baby, The Dark, Mud Puddle, Good Families Don’t and The Boy in the Drawer — all presented with the larger-than-life, kid-friendly entertainment our young audiences have come to expect.

3. Women in Blues
If Keith Richards, Joan Jett and Ray Charles could somehow spawn a love child, it’d be Romi Mayes (suitably pronounced RAW-ME). Hailing from Winnipeg, Canada, and renowned as one of the hardest working independent musicians touring the globe today, Mayes has chipped away at the rock and roll stone over the past couple of decades.
