One of the things that I've been meaning to do with Madeline for months is visit the MUN Botanical Gardens. One of my friends assures me that the pathways are good for running and that there are ducks, two of Madeline's criteria for having a good time. What I think is actually neat about the Botanical Gardens is that they have a variety of registered programs for toddlers and preschoolers, though the toddler "Nature Tot" program has been "fully booked for 2006", according to the website, ever since I found out about it in April. I wonder if they're taking registrations for 2007 already (not that it would make a difference to us)?
Another cool thing that I discovered on the MUN Botanical Gardens website was that they run family-oriented programs every Sunday. There's supposed to be a nature hikes, storytimes with a crafts, and visits to the ducks running throughout the day. I've suggested to Chris that we check this out on a couple of occasions, but we're still working on getting there. Hopefully I'll be able to post an actual review one of these days :)
Just wanted to say Thanks, Laura, for all the information you've posted on your Mommapalooza site. When I googled "Toddler activities in St.John's, NL" - there actually weren't many relevant websites, aside from yours. I imagine many a Mom will benefit from your insights...
Many Thanks,
Andrea :)
