Things To Do
Geocaching - Spring/Summer/Fall Activity
NOTE: Geocaching is currently offline and will reopen mid-summer 2025.
A mix between trivia and a scavenger hunt using latitude and longitude coordinates, geocaching is the perfect activity for explorers! We have two trails: Pathfinder, perfect for children under 8, and Trailblazer, for 8+. Geocaching is an outdoor activity. Remember to dress for the weather!
Mini Golf - Spring/Summer/Fall Activity
Play 9 holes of Mini Golf with obstacles inspired by historic Markham landmarks! Mini golf is not recommended for children under the age of 3. Parental supervision is encouraged.
Snowshoeing - Winter Activity
Explore our 25-acre site by snowshoe! Museum staff will help you get fitted with a pair of our snowshoes, and you can explore the museum grounds looking for wildlife tracks and enjoying winter weather. Snowshoeing is a weather dependent activity and availability may vary. Visitors must be wearing winter boots and cold-weather clothing to participate in snowshoeing.
Come enjoy the seasons at Markham Museum, where adventure awaits all year long! Please dress accordingly to the weather conditions.

Coexisting with Wildlife at Markham Museum
Markham Museum is home to more than just history - our unique blend of urban and natural landscapes provides a habitat for local wildlife, including foxes, coyotes, geese and other species that occasionally roam the grounds. Coyotes are among the most commonly spotted animals in Markham, and understanding their behaviour helps ensure safe and respectful interactions. While urban sightings may be increasing, it’s important to note that relocating coyotes is prohibited under Ontario’s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act.
To help preserve a safe and respectful environment for both visitors and wildlife, all dogs must remain leashed at all times while on Museum grounds and are not permitted in buildings (service dogs accepted). By working together, we can coexist with nature and appreciate the vital role these animals play in our local ecosystem.
