BROWSE. CHOOSE. RECEIVE.

  • Browse through the Mystery Day Trips and pick one (or more!) that sparks your sense of adventure.
  • Use website filters to help you narrow down your search.
  • After check-out, sit back, relax and keep an eye on your postal box. Your Mystery Day Trip package will arrive within 10 days, ready to kick-start the fun!
  • Keep your day trip sealed until you are ready to go.

READY. SET. GO.

  • Read both the front and back of your Mystery Day Trip.
  • Choose your departure day based on the information printed on the front of your peel-to-reveal card.
  • Scan the QR code on the back to check for any MDT updates for your itinerary.
  • Gather the “Extra Things to Bring” indicated on your trip card.
  • When you’re ready to roll, peel Tab 1 to reveal your very first destination. Drive safe and enjoy the ride.
  • Open the next tab only after you’ve wrapped up the adventure before it.
  • Each peel-to-reveal tab shows stops with washrooms, food options and/or paid parking.
  • Take your time (or don’t!): Each stop has a suggested visit time on the tab, but you’re the boss.
  • No guesswork: Approximate drive time to each stop is listed so you know what’s ahead.
  • Most important rule: Have fun! Enjoy your day, snap some photos and don’t forget to stay hydrated.

GOOD. TO. KNOW.

  • After you get to your first stop we suggest turning your GPS to “Avoid Highways”. The best adventures happen on the back roads.
  • Heads‑up: meals, gas and parking are your treat. Road trip memories, though, are priceless!
  • Trips are designed to be low cost, but if there’s an admission fee, we’ll let you know.
  • Trips run about 6–8 hours from your first stop. So, if you snooze on departure time, don’t blame us when your adventure turns into a moonlit stroll!
  • Check back often as new Mystery Day Trips are being released regularly.
  • Sign-up for our newsletter for exclusive updates, secret deals, special releases and early access to new adventures.
