Cool things to do in Ontario

This past winter was long, cold, miserable, and felt like it went on forever.

However, with the first day of spring around the corner (Tuesday, March 20, by the way), soon it’ll be time to turn off your home heating systems for the year and enjoy the outdoors again.

So, if you’re itching to get out there and explore what Ontario has to offer, here are some cool things to do in Ontario this spring.

Cool thing to do in Southern Ontario: Go on a museum tour

Southern Ontario (where many ClimateCare members are located is full of cool, interactive, and just plain awesome museums for your family to check out.

Near Hamilton? Love planes?

Warplane museum

The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum is a working, breathing, living testament to Canada’s aviation military history.
Visitors are able to get up close and personal (and in some cases, actually inside) some of the toughest and bravest warplanes the skies has ever seen.
The crown jewel of the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum is the legendary Lancaster Bomber. 7300 planes were built during World War II, 17 are left and only 2 are in flying condition.

Near Toronto? Love natural history?

The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is packed with natural history galleries ranging from Earth’s treasures to dinosaur discoveries.
Some galleries (such as the Biodiversity Gallery or Discovery Gallery) invite hands-on participation for both children and adults.
The ROM is full of other exhibits too; ranging from celebrating the history of Vikings to rebuilding and revisiting the tragedy at Auschwitz.
