Explore Toronto with Kids: Fairmont Royal York’s March Break Experience
If you’re looking for a March Break spot in Toronto that balances kid energy with actual relaxation for the adults, the Fairmont Royal York has put together something worth considering this year.
The hotel sits right downtown, steps from Union Station, so you skip the hassle of driving everywhere. Walk out the door, and Toronto’s main attractions are within easy reach: Ripley’s Aquarium is a short stroll, the CN Tower looms nearby, and you can hop on the TTC to the ROM or St. Lawrence Market in minutes. That location alone saves time and sanity when you’re travelling with kids.
This March Break, the hotel is running its Family Moments program, focused on keeping everyone entertained without leaving the property too often. When you check in, Roy the Lion (their mascot) greets families, setting a friendly tone right away.
The big draw is the Family Rec Room, open daily during March Break from noon to 8:30 p.m., just for hotel guests. Expect retro arcade games, foosball, giant Connect Four, a colouring station, and movie screenings with popcorn. The lineup includes Lilo & Stitch, Encanto, How to Train Your Dragon, and Paddington in Peru at scheduled times (sign up ahead of time for movies). It’s a solid way to burn off energy or wind down, especially on colder days.
For meals, REIGN Restaurant offers “A Meal for Monarchs” during March Break. Kids get crowned with a tiara or crown and a three-course menu for $35 each. It turns dinner into something special while keeping things relaxed and kid-friendly. Beyond that, the hotel has practical dining perks: children under 5 eat free, and kids 6–12 get 50% off at REIGN when staying at the hotel.
A few more touches make things easier with little ones. The indoor pool comes with free towel service, and you can request luxury robes for the kids. If you’re bringing multiple generations or need extra space, book two rooms on the Family Moments offer, and the second one drops to 50% off.
The hotel also offers family discounts to places like Ripley’s Aquarium and the CN Tower (check with the concierge desk, as availability varies). Pair that with the central location, and you can mix hotel downtime with quick city outings.
