March Break 2019: Things to do in Guelph

The kids are about to get a whole week off school thanks to the March Break and it means parents will be doing their best to keep them busy.

Staying inside and playing video games or watching Netflix might be an option, but there are better activities in Guelph.

Wacky Water Week

The City of Guelph is celebrating water with games, entertainment and interactive displays.

The city said there’s good fun to be had by people of all ages.
