One of the benefits of teaching kids at home is choosing when and where to go on a field trip. We can go as often and as far as we like. We can go to places that interest us and visit places that are relevant to our lives.

We recently learned of the Sun Life Financial Museum and Arts Pass through the Toronto Public Library. Each family can receive one free pass every three weeks to either of the following: Ontario Science Centre; Gardiner Museum; Royal Ontario Museum; The Bata Shoe Museum; Art Gallery of Ontario; Textile Museum of Canada or the City of Toronto Historic Museums.

We obtained a pass to the Ontario Science Centre and InshaALLAH, we will see the Sultans of Science (1000 Years of Knowledge Rediscovered)exhibit. There is also the IMAX film “Journey to Mecca: In the Footsteps of Ibn Battuta” (watch the trailer here).
