One (of the thousands) of benefits of having a child is getting to explore your city and the numerous events that\u00a0take place\u00a0throughout the year.\u00a0 Last year, while seeking an activity for my son and I,\u00a0I attended The Ex, at the Canadian National Exhibit for the first time.\u00a0 Since I have such fond memories of that day, including my son\u00a0feeding and chasing around the farm animals in the petting zoo, I wanted\u00a0to make it a yearly tradition.\"theex4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This year was no different.\u00a0 Our day was quickly filled with fun activities, including meeting Barney at the Live show.\u00a0 While all the kids were front and centre, all of the adults were happily singing along as well. Near the kids’ world stage is the kidstreet interactive zone.\u00a0 My son spent hours creating in the art studio.\"theex2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Also this year, instead of a petting zoo, there was a reptile exhibit. Another family favourite is the The Farm, located at the Better Living Centre.\u00a0 We got to explore and learn all about farm life\u00a0first hand.\u00a0 Along the way, we even got to sit in a fire truck (I might have been slightly more excited than my son by the looks on our face).\"theex3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, our favourite part was the Kiddie Midway.\u00a0 Surprisingly, there were a lot of rides that my son could go on.\u00a0 Some with me, and some on his own.\u00a0My son’s personal favourite was the speedway.\u00a0Either way, I would definitely recommend getting a day pass instead of buying tickets.\u00a0 There were several rides that my son just wanted to go on again and again.\"theex1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s also a great baby care centre located at kids’ world.\u00a0 The Centre provides a quiet location for nursing and diaper changing.\u00a0 They also have a great little area set up for kids to play and read books for some down-time or while mom is busy with baby.<\/p>\n

These are just SOME of the many things your family can enjoy at The Ex, not to mention the amazing food in the Food Building, special events, meet & greets with your child’s favourite TV characters and a Mardi Gras Parade that’s held nightly.<\/p>\n
