Around Toronto
Bug Lab at the Ontario Science Centre
Oh, it feels good to be back. It’s been almost two years since we visited a museum or gallery. As I looked back at our wanderings, our last exhibition visits were the Illusions: The Art of Magic at the AGO (March 2020) and Bloodsuckers: Legends to Leeches at the ROM...

Disc Golf with Kids in TOw
