Durham Region Feature: FUN Things To Do This Summer Part 2!

So, you've 'been there done that' to paintballing, you've found 1000 Geocaches and you've conquered your fear of heights at Treetop Eco Adventure Park...and it's only June. No fear, here are some more ideas of things you can do without leaving Durham Region! Enjoy :)

1.

Stand Up Paddleboarding

Want to keep up with the latest FUN fitness craze? This is it! Test out your balance (it's not hard, don't worry) with Port Perry SUP on Lake Scugog. Fun for the whole family!

2.

Goodwood Kartways

Got the need for speed? Then Goodwood Kartways is for you! Take the family or friends here to see who's fastest on the track! It's not often you can test how fast a vehicle can go, so take advantage of that here! 

3.

 Cedar Park Resort

Splash around in Bowmanville's Cedar Park Resort this summer with the kids! Not only do they have splash pads, water slides and pools, but also mini golf, camp ground, tennis courts and more. All you need for a fun-filled family day :)

4.

Pickering Playing Fields

You and your friends can't decide on an activity? Why not visit the Pickering Playing Fields that holds a variety of options: Mini Putt, Driving Range, Beach Volleyball and Batting Cages. Choose 1, 2 or all activities with your friends or family and enjoy the outdoors all day!

5.

 Pingle's Farm Market

There's stuff to do at Pingle's all year round! In the summer, there are wagon rides, a Barn Bouncer, visits with the farm animals, mini golf, giant board games and more. Best of all, all of this fun for only $5 per person! Check it out in the fall, too for an awesome corn maze!

6.

Bowmanville Zoo

Not only are there a lot of really cool animals at the Bowmanville Zoo, but there are also rides, a splash pad, and camels rides! Take the kids for an educational but fun day to the zoo where they can learn and play at the same time :) If you really want to splurge, you can book a private Big Cat encounter!
