Introduce your youngsters to local history at the Museum of Surrey. Kids of all ages will enjoy fun, interactive exhibits that relate to local First Nations culture, the region's more recent history, and much more. The museum's innovative TD Explore Zone enables the youngest family members to learn through play, and includes a slide, tree house, and loads of other awesome activities. Throughout the year the museum also offers a great range of special children's activities, such as songs, games, stories, and crafts.
Another family favourite is Bear Creek Park, where active kids can challenge themselves on an adventure playground, play mini-golf, explore scenic nature trails, and enjoy a ride on the Bear Creek Miniature Train. During the warmer months, its large water park is popular with both local families and visitors. The picturesque parklands are also a great spot for a picnic, and several picnic shelters are available.
Other unforgettable family outings in Surrey include the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway, Historic Fraser Farm, Peace Arch Provincial Park, and the Bose Farm Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch. Alternatively, the walking trails at Darts Hill Garden Park and Redwood Park provide affordable, healthy fun for both young kids and teens.
Surrey is a city with a festive heart, and several great family events are held here throughout the year. The Surrey International Children's Festival takes place each May and includes music, theatre, circus performances, and magic. Surrey Fusion Festival is also loads of fun, with special children's zones, craft activities, face painting, storytelling, and live entertainment.
