Fall Break is upon us and with it comes the struggle of how to keep the kids entertained and happy! Keep the boredom at bay and have some fun together with our list of Ideas For Fall Break Fun below:

Ideas For Fall Break Fun

Take a Climate Quest at TELUS World of Science – Edmonton

  • Our Climate Quest: Small Steps to Big Change is the current feature exhibit at TELUS World of Science – Edmonton. This informative and interactive exhibit is filled with hands-on activities that teach about our changing planet and encourage visitors to take meaningful earth-saving action in their own lives. Enjoy it as part of regular Science Centre admission.

Spend the Day with Royal Alberta Museum

  • Journey into one of history’s greatest empires with the Angkor: The Lost Empire of Cambodia feature exhibit, discover the expansive Natural and Human history halls, catch a live animal presentation in the Bug Gallery, and have fun in the interactive Children’s Gallery. (Note: The Museum is open for Holiday Monday, and always closed on Tuesdays. Click here to check the schedule of What’s On.)

Go On a FREE Scavenger Hunt

  • FREE | On our last trip to IKEA Edmonton, I discovered they have a fun in-store scavenger with a sweet prize at the end – a FREE frozen yogurt cone from the Swedish Bistro! Grab a tiny pencil and hunt sheet from the display on the wall to the left of SmÃ¥land, then have fun together making your way through the IKEA maze on the hunt for clues.
  • FREE | Salisbury Greenhouse also has a monthly Scavenger Hunt for the kids! Grab the hunt sheet and search for the hidden images throughout the greenhouse to earn a FREE 2.5″ herb plant to bring home. The greenhouse is now decked out for Christmas, making it a fun stop for all.

Discover Planes and Trains

  • Visit the Alberta Aviation Museum to see an amazing collection of vintage planes and memorabilia housed in the only double-long, double-wide hangar of its type left. For added fun, you can add on a Discovery Backpack filled with fun activities for the kids to do while they are in the museum.
  • FREE | The Edmonton Train Collectors Association has an impressive motorized model train display set up inside Bonnie Doon Mall. Come watch the trains go around the loop and have fun discovering all the tiny details throughout.
