Summer has officially arrived, and with school out, it’s time to fill those long, sunny days with fun, food, and family time. Whether you’re planning a full day out or looking for simple ways to enjoy the season, Manning Town Centre has something for everyone. From hands-on activities to sweet treats, dining options, and backyard fun, here are some easy and entertaining ways to make the most of summer break, without having to leave the city!
Summer Activities for the Whole Family
Looking to get the kids out of the house for a few hours? Start with a movie at Cineplex, where family-friendly flicks and cool air conditioning are always a win. Afterward, wander into Petland, where the kids can meet birds, bunnies, cats, and more—it’s like a mini indoor zoo! For something extra special, treat the family to a self-care day at A Plus Nails. Their manicure and pedicure options make for a relaxing parent-kid outing, and a little pampering is the perfect way to kick off the break.
Try Sweet Treats That Make Summer Sweeter
No summer day is complete without a little something sweet! Maverick’s Donuts serves up a variety of donut creations that are perfect for grabbing and heading to a nearby picnic spot. Craving something more indulgent? Visit DSpot Dessert Cafe, where you’ll find jaw-dropping dessert combinations and a comfy spot to sit down and enjoy them. If you’re in the mood for something cool and refreshing, Coco Fresh Tea & Juice offers delicious bubble teas and fresh juices – perfect for sipping on the go or lounging in their fun, modern space!
Sit-Down Dining That’s Kid-Friendly Too
When dinner time rolls around, Manning Town Centre has several sit-down restaurants that are both adult-approved and kid-welcoming. Dickey’s Barbecue Pit offers hearty BBQ classics and a kids’ menu that’s sure to satisfy even picky eaters. Boston Pizza is a classic go-to with plenty of kid-friendly options, from mini pizzas to build-your-own pasta. And if you’re in the mood to dine al fresco, Browns Socialhouse has a sun-soaked patio and a welcoming atmosphere for families—plus a kids’ menu packed with favourites like quesadillas and chicken fingers.
At-Home Fun Starts Here
Prefer a cozy day at home? Stock up on supplies at Dollarama, where you’ll find a wide selection of Summer crafts, think sidewalk chalk, embroidery kits, paint night essentials, and more to keep creativity flowing on rainy days. Head to FreshCo and let the kids help pick ingredients for a DIY pizza night with unlimited toppings! If you’re feeling outdoorsy, stop by Rona+ to grab everything you need for a beginner garden or family flower planting session. Alternatively, swing by Marshalls for backyard games—think giant Jenga, ring toss, and more to turn your yard into your own mini summer camp!
