Rainy-day picks and indoor programming — museums, libraries, drop-in art, and classes — all happening this weekend in Burlington.
Breakfast with Elsa runs Saturday morning at Southcote 53 in Ancaster, 10 a.m. to noon. Kids get a plated breakfast, then Elsa arrives at 11 for meet-and-greet and photos. Kids tickets are $25 plus HST and an 18% gratuity — adults order à la carte.
Sat · 10:00 a.m. · Southcote 53
Cineplex Family Favourites puts Minions: The Rise of Gru on screen Saturday morning for $3.99 plus tax. Showtime is 11 a.m. at select theatres. Solid drizzle-day call if the farm feels like too much mud.
Sat · 11:00 a.m. · Cineplex and SilverCity Theatres
The Art Gallery of Hamilton opens its Fischer Gallery for hands-on art-making Sunday from 1–3 p.m., inspired by the permanent collection. Five dollars covers a family of up to six and includes gallery admission. AGH members get in free.
Sun · 1:00 p.m. · Art Gallery of Hamilton
The Art Gallery of Burlington runs a free drop-in Open Studio Sunday from 1–4 p.m. This season's programming draws from artist Roda Medhat's sculptural installation — artist-instructors are on hand, but kids can also work independently. No registration, no cost.
Sun · 1:00 p.m. · Art Gallery of Burlington · Free
Sunday afternoon at Chocolate Tales Studio, this 90-minute pasta class has kids 6 and up mixing and rolling fresh egg dough on hand-crank machines, then eating what they made. Groups of four to six share a station, so it stays manageable. Runs 4–6 p.m. — book ahead, these fill.
Sun · 4:00 p.m. · Chocolate Tales Studio
Next post drops Monday morning.
