Things to do this Family Day Weekend

Family Day is this Monday, February 20th. Do you have anything planned with your loved ones?

We love that this February holiday falls on a Monday, because it means you have the whole weekend leading up to it to celebrate! If you are drawing a blank on how to spend your Family Day - we have you covered.

We have compiled a list of great ideas and activities to give you inspiration:

Chillibowl Lanes

Chilliwack’s only bowling alley; This place is a blast from the past - quite literally! The shoes and equipment may be old, but some may say that it only adds to the nostalgia of Chillibowl Lanes. Founded in 1981 by two local families, this bowling alley offers fun for the entire family - young and old. For $40, you can rent a 6-person lane for an hour (includes shoe rentals). They don’t have a website, so we recommend calling ahead for operating hours and info.

Exit Escape Rooms

Have you tried an escape room before? Although suitable for almost all ages, this one is great if you have tweens, teens, or adult children who you are looking to do an activity with. They offer 5 different themed rooms, and have a special family discount this Family Day for groups of 4 or more! Head to their Facebook Page for details.

Dimensions Virtual Reality

VR is huge right now, but the upfront expense of buying the gear makes this hobby cost-prohibitive to some. Dimensions Virtual Reality is a great way to try out the tech and several cool games without the investment.

Other Family Day Ideas:

Swimming - Toonie Swim! The Cheam Leisure Centre and the Chilliwack Landing Leisure Centre are hosting Family Day swims on February 20 from 9am - 3pm. Admission is $2 per person.

Skating - Free skate at Sardis Sports Complex on February 20 from 1:30 - 3pm! Skate rentals are $5 and you can receive free kids rentals with the purchase of two adult rentals. Visit chilliwack.com/skate for more info.
