Ontario Place

Some pictures from our day at Ontario Place

At the 680 News "Traffic School" kids drove around a track set up like a real system of roads, complete with road signs and traffic lights.

Without instruction, each drove exclusively on the right-hand side of the road, stopped at every stop sign, looked both ways before crossing or turning onto a street, and obeyed the traffic lights.

Some, like Meghan, didn't know which set of lights to obey when turning, so they treated the intersection like a four-way stop. During the 10 or so minutes that Meghan was on the course there was only one accident: one kid playing bumper cars. The rest took the experience very seriously.

Another memorable experience was navigating this kid-sized maze.






Meghan crawled through the clear-bottom tubes slowly, but eventually did make it without help. Perhaps next year we'll try her on the glass floor in the CN tower.

Meghan also loved the ATVs. She picked a dragon bike with a mouth she could open and close.

Other favourites included the FreeFall (that tall tower that drops) and the really big slide.
