The force is strong with self-proclaimed uber geek and Star Wars Trilogy Canadian actor Charles Ross. See his love of the show come to life at his solo venture One-Man Star Wars Trilogy. He will retell the entire story in 60 minutes with no costumes, no props, no music and no sets. But he will bring all the laughs and fun needed to make this a great night out with the kids. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and is said to be suitable for everyone from age six to Yoda.
Children ages 5 to 8 can come out, with a caregiver, and create their own sweet masterpieces at Taste Buds Kitchen's Confetti Cupcakes Workshop.

Tickets run for $28 per person and spots are limited, so sign up quick.
Even though Christmas has come and gone, holiday lights are here to stay for at least one more weekend.

They have attractions with themes ranging from magical wonderlands to Texan tributes to dinosaur discoveries. Don't miss your chance to see these before they close up shop.
