Staycation Ideas for Families (Canada)

I have been focusing a lot over the last few months on traveling local. Staycations some may like to call them or day trips. Places we can visit with little to no travel and quite often not needing to even spend the night. Destinations that are budget friendly as well. There is so much to see and do within Canada we often take it granted. This beautiful country of ours hosts many visitors every month of every year from all over the world. They must be coming here for a reason, right?  

Well I have reached out to my fellow Canadian bloggers and asked them to share their staycation posts. So no matter what province you live in, there should be a day trip or two you can check out yourself. If not, do not worry there will be more to come.

No matter what the season is, there is lots to do in Canada. Often just a short drive away. Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter there is something for everyone. Have you ventured out to your backyard lately and discovered a great hidden gem? Where do you go when you want to get away but are limited on time and money?
