Get outside
Maple flavoured family fun
Spring is maple syrup season in Ontario and it’s ‘sappening’ now in St. Catharines. Celebrate Spring with the Sugar Bush Trek at White Meadows Farms. Open Saturdays and Sundays from February 28 to April 12 and all week on March Break (March 16-20) from 10am-3pm.
Hiking
Search for signs of Spring on some of the best hiking trails around. St. Catharines is home to a section of the Bruce Trail, a public footpath inviting everyone to explore the natural wonders of the Niagara Escarpment. Take a Spring hike in the Short Hills, at Rockway Conservation Area or explore the City of St. Catharines’ Trail Passport, where you can download and print out individual trail cards for popular trails and document your memories and experiences on each.

There’s plenty of outdoor sculptures and public are to enjoy in St. Catharines. Take a wander around the downtown to see Graffiti Alley, Curtain Call at the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre, the Buky Schwartz Sculptures at Brock University’s Marilyn I.
