Over the past few decades, family-based activities have changed from board game nights to more athletic activities such as 'Stellar Kids Yoga' -- an organization providing family-friendly yoga classes. The ultimate goal for this activity and many others is to create a unique experience that is shared between family members.
Additionally, artistic light events such as Toronto's Luminato Festival Zone are even a bigger spectacle than annual firework displays. This particular event features a "myriad of family-friendly activities that will appeal to art fans of all ages." By combing unique events with niche family lifestyle interests, immersive experiences will resonate with families long after they're over.
All of these family-based activities aim to bring parents and children together through a series of creative or athletic endeavors or entertainment-focused rewards -- whether a free movie night or family-friendly streaming service subscription.
