March Break sneaks up on us every year. We think about it in January and start making plans and lists of plans and ideas. Then all of a sudden it’s mid-March and there are no spaces left in camps and nothing for our kids to do (other than hang out with us!). So we needed things to do with our kidlets in Alberta that won’t break the bank but will allow everyone to have some fun and stay busy while off school for at least a week.
There is a lot of stuff to do in Calgary and Edmonton during March Break with the kidlets. Here is just a sampling of the many free and/or inexpensive things you can do this year.
If you want to shop and check out the attractions at a discounted price at West Edmonton Mall, you can purchase a super savings coupon book for $9.95, which will get you deals all over the mall.
Visit Devonian Gardens, Calgary’s only indoor park and a renowned indoor oasis.
Empire Theatres is offering $2 matinees at its Alberta locations during March Break.
