Cozy Winter Play Day at Macaulay House

Beat the winter blues with a Cozy Winter Play Day at Macaulay House!

This family-oriented event is designed to embrace all things winter, and the activities that we do to get us through the snowy months! This event is open to the public from 1pm-3pm, with visitors from Heal with Horses staying with us from 1pm-230pm.

We are so excited to share that Heal with Horses (https://healwithhorses.ca/) will be joining us with therapy goats and bunnies. Come on in and give them a snuggle! We are thrilled to welcome them to Macaulay House (which formerly housed a farm on the property) from 1pm-230pm on February 16th. Pet, scritch and snuggle away your winter worries! Heal with Horses will be accepting donations at this time to help support the wonderful work that they do.

The Museums will be providing shovels and toys for your kids (or inner kid) to dig into the snow and embrace some of the most fun, old-fashioned parts of winter - build a snow man, make a fort, or get creative and make your own winter design! We will be experimenting with ice and food colouring to see what kind of creative fun we can get into. Based on the snow we have had so far this winter, we are confident that these weather-dependent activities will take place.

Inside the house, we will have family board games available to play. Come get cozy with your loved ones and jump into a good old-fashioned game of Scrabble, Go Fish or Snakes and Ladders in this historic home. Enjoy a display of vintage games from our own collection while you are here.

Attendance to this event is free, however donations are welcome!

Wondering what to do in the morning before the event kicks off? Be sure to follow the County of Prince Edward's social pages, where they will be announcing more family fun to be had at our arenas!

Please note: for the health and safety of our furry visitors, there will be no food or dogs permitted at this event.
