Top Picks For This Weekend
The Great Golden Egg Hunt
The Port Credit Bunny
📅 Saturday, April 4 | 📍 Port Credit
This is the best Easter plan in the city on Saturday.
Stores around Port Credit will have golden eggs hidden in their windows. Spot them, and each egg you find gets you an entry into a gift basket draw. The kickoff also includes free photos with the Port Credit Bunny at Port Street Market.
Easter Sunday Family Magic with WonderPhil
📅 Sunday, April 5 | 📍 The Rec Room, Square One
One of the best family-friendly picks for Easter Sunday.
It includes face painting, Easter Bunny photos, and a WonderPhil magic show, all in one place. Tickets range from $22.90 to $28.90.
Quick Hits
Mississauga Mini Indy opens Friday
📍 99 Rathburn Rd. W.
The go-karts across from Square One are officially back for the 2026 season starting Friday, April 3.
The track has been closed for the last couple years, so it’s a fun way to relive old memories and make some new ones at a classic Mississauga landmark.

Space Explorers: THE INFINITE
📍 99 Rathburn Rd. W.
Space Explorers has finally landed in Mississauga.
This immersive virtual reality experience next to Square One is inspired by real-life NASA missions, so it’s perfect if you want an out-of-this-world indoor adventure instead of just wandering the mall. And PRESTO cardholders also get 25% off.

This Week’s Best Eats
Coming soon: Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai’s khao soi
📍 285 Enfield Place
Not open yet, but worth saving now.
Chiang Mai has become a big name in Toronto for polished Thai food, bold flavours, and its elevated ambience. The Mississauga location is expected to open this month, and rumor has it… it’ll be the brand’s biggest location yet.
Watch closely for when reservations open, as this one is expected to book up fast.
Mahaul
📍 265 Lakeshore Rd. E., Port Credit
Mahaul feels like one of those Port Credit spots where the room matters almost as much as the food.
Go here when you want bright Indian spices, colourful cocktails, and a dinner that feels a little more dressed up than usual.
Miga Korean BBQ
📍 2382 Dundas St. W.
An excellent pick for a group dinner or date night when you want table-side grilling and a bit more energy.
This is Korean BBQ at its finest, with premium cuts and wagyu on the menu, so it works best when you want an authentic and interactive cultural experience.

An Easy Plan For This Week
Buddhist temple, tea, and a quiet walk
📍 Meadowvale
Start at the Fo Guang Shan Temple, a peaceful spot that is well worth visiting even if you are just going to look around and take in the grounds.
Then grab tea or a light bite at Water Drop Teahouse, which is located on site.
After that, head over to Lake Wabukayne for a quiet walk by the water.
It is a calm change from the usual coffee run, and a low-key plan that feels a little different in the best way.
