Heading up to cottage country or a weekend getaway sounds like bliss. Family bonding time looking for toads, makng s'mores on an open fire, potato salad...it all sounds like a slice of heaven. But the drive in traffic isn't always fun and "are we there yet?" is often MY repeated question on any road trip.
If you have small kids you may be interested in learning that Netflix and Rogers will help with those lengthy drives by offering "Download Zones" across Ontario this summer at various locations. Parents can now download hours of entertainment for the family to enjoy on the drive- all without breaking your data plan. I think it's also great for those down-times when you just needed a break or on a rainy day.
With Netflix Downloads, you can check out these popular family titles (and many others!) even without Wi-Fi:
- Peppa Pig
- Octonauts
- Dora the Explorer
- PAW Patrol
- Beat Bugs
- Trollhunters
- My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
- Annie
- Dinotrux
- A Series of Unfortunate Events
Here are the dates & locations of where you can find the Netflix Download Zones this summer:
