CALLING ALL KIDS! GET SET FOR FUN IN THE 1000 ISLANDS!

There are plenty of things for the younger folk to do in Gananoque and the 1000 Islands while families are on vacation.

Outdoorsy kids can play a round of mini-golf at the Putt N' Play in Gananoque, take an archery lesson at Blue Mountain Archery in Gananoque or even get a group together and shoot a round of paintball with the team at Ground Zero Paintball on Marble Rock Road. Vanridge ATV Tours & Trails in Mallorytown also promises tons of fun for the whole family and a chance to see the wilderness of the 1000 Islands. Children must be over six-years-old to ride.

The Festival of the Islands, held every August, combines musical entertainment with many traditional favourite activites for the whole family such as a tin boat race, belly flop contest and more all week long. Click on www.festivaloftheislands.com to see what fun can be had between Aug. 10 and 19, 2007.

Local arts school Dreams in Motion always has activities on the go, from dance to art classes. The March Break Circus Camp coming up in March 2007 is sure to be a hit.

The Arthur Child Heritage Museum at Gananoque historic waterfront village is an excellent opportunity for an educational outing with the children. The museum involved fun, interactive displays telling about the Gananoque region and the St. Lawrence River.

Want your children to take in some culture? Enjoy one of the family-friendly plays on this summer at the Thousand Islands Playhouse's Springer Theatre. Touted as the best live professional theatre in Eastern Ontario, the theatre is staging Anne & Gilbert (July 18 - September 1) and the Number 14 (September 6 - 29) this summer. Both shows are suitable for the younger folk and set to amaze. Anne & Gilbert follows the loveable Anne of Green Gables character in a new toe-tappin' Islands musical while the Number 14 uses masks, songs and even acrobatics to tell stories. It's an international hit comedy. Click on www.1000islandsplayhouse.com for more.
