# Fun Family Itineraries In Brockville

South Eastern Ontario / Sud-Est de l'Ontario

 

 

 

### Brockville Overnight

Whoever your family or family is, round them up and get the heck outside already! Why? Because we’re Canadian that’s why…and we know how to do winter. Check out these family-friendly itineraries as you ditch the screens and get the family out into the Great White North.

  

This quaint historical city is a beautiful spot to park the family for a couple of days of winter exploring.

**Fuel up for a fun-filled day**

You just can’t start your day without java and something to fill your belly, so make your way to [**Tait’s Bakery**](https://taitsfreshstart.wixsite.com/taits/menu) downtown. This 100+-year-old family-run bakery is reminiscent of days gone by with house-made soups, sandwiches and sweet pastries.

  

At the [**Aquatarium**](https://aquatarium.ca/exhibits/) River otters Oliver and Brock invite you to take a step out of the ordinary and explore the 1000 Islands and Ontario from their point of view. Check out the Herpetology (it’s a thing!) exhibit and meet Tina, the red-eared slider. Stinkpots are worth investigating…but make sure to plug your nose! If you’re lucky, you might catch sight of Gerald, Cam, and Alex the grey tree frogs, or the lampreys and American eels swimming around their underwater world. [**Book your Ropes and AquaDrop**](https://aquatarium.ca/ropes-course/) experience ahead of time then strap into your harness and try the 40-foot quick jump. You can try your balance on the bowsprit or crawl across the yard arm like a crew member. Book your [**self-guided tour**](https://aquatarium.ca/learning-zone/self-guided-field-trips/) and sign & submit your [**ropes course waiver**](https://aquatarium.ca/ropes-groups/) online to save time.

On the 2nd floor adjacent to the Aquatarium, you’ll find the laid back family-friendly [**Moose McGuires**](https://moosemcguires.ca/) restaurant. In the mood for something different, [**The Noshery**](https://www.facebook.com/stefandkaren/?ref=bookmarks) is an eclectic restaurant with an inviting atmosphere.

Now that your hunger is satisfied, a little retail therapy perhaps? Downtown Brockville is filled with quaint shops waiting to welcome you. From [**Bentley & Keegan’s Toy Box**](https://www.facebook.com/bandktoybox) which just happens to be next door to [**O’Mally Kourt Fudgery**](https://www.facebook.com/OMally-Kourt-Fudgery-393847520670624/)**,** you can stretch your legs and get a little shopping done at the same time.

**Stay a While**

It’s been a great day of exploring and now it’s time to kick back and relax. Check in at one of the many accommodations in Brockville. From family friendly [**Holiday Inn Express & Suites**](http://www.hiexpress.com/brockvilleon) to a room (or suite) with a view at [**Tall Ships Landing**](https://tallshipslanding.com/vacation-rentals/)**, to the** [**Inn’s**](https://brockvilletourism.com/stay/)**,** you’ll find a relaxing end to your day and a great night’s sleep
