Get out of town with a great deal
This week we’ve found even more deals that are perfect to help you plan your March Break Getaways. If you missed the original March Break deals you’ll find them here.
Toronto: If you’re planning on being in Toronto the Bata Shoe Museum is offering kids the chance to be a rockstar. The special camp is offered daily from 11-4 between March 14-18 and kids can make their own cardboard guitar, have their photo taken rocking the microphone, try on funky costumes and footwear and more.(Cost is $8 Cdn per child) The Museum’s deals are even bigger when you consider some of the great year-round reasons to drop in that will help you save a few pennies : Pay-what-you-can Thursdays (from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.) mean showing your kids shoes from around the world and across the centuries is even more affordable. And every Saturday from 11-4 and Sundays from 12-4, families can pop in and for an extra $2, children aged 3 to can try their hand at painting a mini-clog, try on shoes and go on shoe hunt in the galleries.
