Looking for an engaging, family-friendly activity to beat the summer heat? The Bata Shoe Museum is hosting 'Summer at the BSM: Little Boots,' a dynamic lineup of programming designed to complement their blockbuster Roman exhibition.
Running daily through August, families can drop in for self-guided crafts including Roman puppet-making, 3D shoebox model-making of Vindolanda, iSpy games, and try-on shoe stations. The museum also offers scheduled family-friendly exhibition tours and presentations at regular intervals throughout the day, ensuring kids remain entertained while learning about ancient history.
Nestled in Bloor-Yorkville, the museum is easily accessible via the Bloor-Danforth subway line. It's a fantastic spot to spend a morning or afternoon with children 12 and under before grabbing a treat in the neighbourhood.
