Happy Father’s Day
at the Canada Agriculture Museum
The Canada Agriculture Museum is celebrating Father’s Day in style on Sunday, June 20, with lots of family fun from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and free admission all day for fathers and grandfathers.
You won’t want to miss any of our Father’s Day activities, from eggs-periments to ice cream-making! Children can make a special gift for Dad, followed by a family visit to the Demonstration Kitchen where you can help bake, then taste, the perfect Father’s Day treat: pretzels! And don’t forget to look throughout the barns for clues in our “Name that Dad” scavenger hunt: a great way for young visitors to learn all about farm animal “dads”. Fathers, grandfathers, and the entire family are sure to enjoy this unforgettable day on the farm.
