Richmond Country Farms

If you’ll be in Richmond, British Columbia, instead, visit the pumpkin patch at Richmond Country Farms, where there are not only pumpkins, but also farm animals, wagon rides, sunflower fields and more. Your ticket will include a wagon ride, apple and a pumpkin. Parents will want to also visit the farm’s winery.

 

Halloween Community Market at LuLu Island Winery

Speaking of wineries, also in Richmond, LuLu Island Winery will host its Halloween Community Event & Artisan Market on Oct. 21. This family-friendly affair features Canadian artisans, food and beverages and trick-or-treating for the kids (and the furry members of your family are welcome, too).

 

The Haunted Sea at Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site

At this historic site in Richmond, through Nov. 5, you can check out the Haunted Sea exhibit. The installation is one part spooky, one part educational, as it displays creepy creations made from recycled materials, highlighting the importance of keeping our trash out of the oceans.

Make Meaningful Memories While Helping Conserve the Planet

We know the many benefits of travel. When we journey away from our homes to destinations near and far, we gain opportunities to experience new (to us) communities through cultures, customs, landscapes and, of course, cuisines. And when we travel with others, those experiences are not only shared but they also improve our relationships.

Travel to Madrid with the Family and Find Activities to Keep Everyone Happy!

If life were a city, it’d be Madrid. Sometimes it can be quite the challenge to find a destination just right for the whole family. Different tastes and ages make agreeing on where to go seem impossible. Unless, of course, the destination you have in mind is Madrid. With all of its new immersive museums, musicals, soccer stadiums and monuments like Royal Palace, anyone who suggests coming to the capital is sure to get a unanimous yes!
