Friday, January 20th. 2023 is a PA Day for elementary schools in the Niagara region. Fortunately there are plenty of PA Day activities for everyone to enjoy! Here is a list of some of our recommendations.
The Great Canadian Midway
There’s no better way to have your kids release some pent up energy than by taking them to the Great Canadian Midway. It’s the place to go for an abundance of midway and arcade games. From tried and true oldies like Skee Ball and High Striker, to DC Superheroes and Villains, we have games to suit every type of kid! The best deal on tokens for kids is the Midway Token Offer. For just $50 (online only), kids can easily spend a full afternoon here with 160 tokens on hand. From arcade games, video games, rides, and toys to be won, it’s an exciting way to spend a day off!
The Clifton Hill Fun Pass is another great option for a day of fun! For $22.95+tax for children (ages 12 and under) they will get SIX of our most popular attractions on Clifton Hill; all of which are indoors to take the chill off.
PA Day At The Rink
This PA Day, head to the “Ice Rink” at The Gardens at Pillar & Post and enjoy the lovely grounds, skate on a 120 by 60 ice rink, and experience The OutPost’s trademark food and beverage offerings.
