Kids can write a memory or draw a picture for a loved one, then place it on the community altar. In Día de los Muertos tradition, altars are filled with offerings (ofrendas) that honour and remember family members — making each child’s contribution a heartfelt part of the celebration.

Kids can bring sugar skulls to life with black-and-white designs ready to colour using markers, crayons, or magical UV pens. Sugar skulls are a playful tradition of Día de los Muertos, symbolizing the joy of remembering loved ones. And the best part? Their creations will glow brightly when they step into the glow-in-the-dark tunnel!

With safe, child-friendly scissors, kids can cut and twist colourful tissue paper to create their own marigold flowers. Marigolds, known as cempasúchil, are the traditional flower of Día de los Muertos, believed to guide spirits back with their vibrant colour and scent — and now kids can take a little piece of that tradition home!

Begin your adventure at the Machine Shop, where you’ll receive a printed treasure map to guide your Monarch Butterfly Hunt. At each stop, uncover hidden clues that flutter you along the migration path — just like monarchs traveling from Canada to Mexico. Follow the trail carefully, and your journey will end with a special prize waiting to be discovered!

A rich, cultural blend created to celebrate Día de los Muertos. We've taken the subtle, sweet spice of traditional Mexican Horchata (rice milk, cinnamon, and vanilla) and mixed it into our signature dark hot chocolate for a unique, warm, and creamy seasonal experience.

This unique beverage is a warm nod to Mexican heritage, blending the comforting flavours of horchata with our richest hot chocolate. It's the perfect way to embrace the spirit of the season.

Available at our Chatterbox Cafe for a limited time only!
