The BC Forest Discovery Centre celebrates kids this B.C. Day long weekend for three fun-filled days for families in and visiting the Cowichan region.
“We definitely are ready to have some fun and have extended the event to a three-day weekend for kids and those wanting to enjoy their inner child,” said Chris Gale, manager at the centre.
“Train rides, entertainment, imagination station and activities for the kids, prize draws, our almost famous barbecue, mini donuts, and a great educational experience are only a few reasons for kids of all ages to come out to the event.”
There is a reduced admission rate of $14 for adults, $12 for seniors, and $10 for children from three to 18 years old, and two years and under are free.
The centre will be open from Aug. 5-7, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with the last train departure at 4 p.m.
Other events still to come this year and that are in the planning stages with sponsors include Labour Day, Halloween and, of course, the popular Christmas Express.
Investing in membership includes a season’s pass allowing entry to the facility, the train, and all special events throughout the year, with the exception of Halloween and the Christmas Express which are fundraising events.
The BC Forest Discovery Centre is a not-for-profit museum and relies on sponsorships, donations and memberships in order to continue its operations.
