    Description

    Where play is all about engaging, experiementing and discovering.

    Our new Discoveryland has lots of exciting activities to explore, entice and spark the imagination of young visitors from infancy to 8 years of age.   Discoveryland is an exciting and interactive destination for young children featuring four unique areas to spark any young child’s creative learning through play.

    Check out the toddler exclusive space.  Tot Galaxy created for the smallest visitors in mind (infants and toddlers 3 and under) lets them experience the excitement of seeing, feeling, and crawling their way to our giant Sun Dome. This area has been specifically designed with infants, toddlers, and their caregivers in mind, which is why it also features an Infant Care Room.

    Ascend to new heights in Sky High, a role-playing area inspiring imagination. Sense the excitement as they board their first jet airplane!  Find out what items are hidden as luggage passes through the X-ray machine. Children can then express their creativity through play acting as a pilot, hostess, passenger, or event an engineer!  The sky is the limit!

    As you fly higher and higher you will get caught in a Cloud Burst of discovery in the water play area! This whimsical interpretation of a cloud provides children a unique opportunity to engage in playful exploration.   Colour plastic balls float, fly, sink, and even travel down a whirlpool on our of the water play table! 

    Finally, Blue Sky, a creative play area, invites children to engage in imaginative building, performing and discovering with their friends. In this area children can learn a new song on our cloud piano, enjoy the view from our tree-house, and explore the environment around them.

    The Greens' House in the Environment Gallery

    We all know it’s important to protect the environment, but did you know a diverse and living environment is as close as your own backyard? Stroll through the Greens’ Yard and learn what they are growing in the greenhouse or even spot the birds who frequent their garden. Mrs. Green invites you to learn about alternative energy and to take a spin on her bicycle generator in her workshop (presented by Shell Canada Ltd.).  Mr. Green is especially proud of his new toy the “Magic Planet” which shows real time weather and seismic data.  Who knows, you may get a chance to meet some of the other critters found on their homestead.
