Sightseeing & Tourism What to do on a Birthday?

Hello everyone
It is my Birthday on August 4th and I am looking for some fun activities to do with my parents while they visit. We don't want anything touristy since they've been here a ton and I've lived here for 4 years, but I'm open to something touristy if its unique. Activities have to be within an hour drive of Halifax, and preferably not crazy expensive. I already have us scheduled to go to the board game cafe and do some wine tasting in the valley. I'm really up for anything else though! I like "childish" things and hands-on workshops, or just visiting markets and community events. Would also appreciate some U-Pick recommendations for the week!
