"Three ways to spend a break day"

**1. Winter Break camp (ages 4–12)** Registered full-day camp with lunch included, counsellor-led programming, and strict pick-up rules (photo ID every day). Camp runs **weekdays** during break weeks. If a statutory holiday falls on a weekday, camp does not run that day.

**2. Parent-supervised drop-in play** Walk in or book online. **Unlimited play until close.** Socks and waivers for everyone past admission. Parties in the building do **not** shut out drop-in families — capacity is well over 300.

**3. Birthday parties** Parties still run during break, though **weekday parties before 5:00pm** are uncommon because camp uses party rooms during the day. Evening and weekend party slots are the usual break-season bookings.

"Visiting relatives and out-of-town cousins"

Grandparents, aunts, and uncles need the same **socks** and **waivers** as everyone else — any age, playing or not. Sign waivers at home if you can: offthewallkids.ca/waiver

Mixed-age groups work well here — littles near toddler zones, older cousins on the **donut slide** and **ballistics arena**, adults with sightlines from the eating area.

"When is it busiest?"

**January** is generally our busiest stretch of the year overall. Christmas break itself brings a mix of camp families, drop-in guests, and holiday visitors — weekends and rainy days fill up faster.

"What kids actually do here"

One admission unlocks the full indoor playground — **donut slide (tube slide)**, **ballistics arena**, jumping pillow, ninja obstacle course, toddler areas, and concession under one roof. That is why families search **things to do in London** indoors when the weather turns.
