March Break Fun at RBG
March 1, 2024
Looking for things to do for March Break in Hamilton / Burlington? Even if the kids aren’t already signed up for our March Break Camp, there’s still lots to do at RBG March 11 to 15. Join us for exciting, hands-on, and educational experiences for the whole family!
Here are 5 experiences to keep the kids busy this March Break!
Note: many of these experiences are time-ticketed or have limited availability; pre-registration is strongly suggested to avoid disappointment.
1: Learn about “Nature’s Superheroes”
Extended hours during March Break! 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (time-ticketed); RBG Centre
Some plants and animals look extraordinary to us, but their unusual features usually address the most ordinary of tasks: to reproduce, breathe and move around, sense the world, or find food and safety. From mountaintops to ocean depths, get ready to explore nature’s most astounding adaptations for life in our planet’s most extreme environments.
Time-ticketed; pre-purchase your tickets to avoid disappointment
2: Explore the Imagination Playground
Extended hours during March Break! 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (time-ticketed); RBG Centre
Unleash the magic of creativity at RBG with the Imagination Playground! Explore and play with uniquely shaped foam blocks that let imaginations soar.

3: Watch the Escarpment Train Exhibit

RBG’s “G scale” model train experience takes you on a journey through four seasons of whimsical Canadian landscapes while telling the story of how railroads shaped our history.
