Join us for an after-hours guided forest walk and learn about what goes bump
in the night! We will demystify the scary sounds you hear in nature when
it is dreadfully dark outside. Learn about the history of Hallowe'en and
some local folklore.
This is a 1 hour educational walk, there are
no jump scares. We recommend this program for ages 9 and up as the walk is
dark and spooky in nature. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an
adult.

As a young child, Sidney Squid always heard the tales about the Wild Boloney, a mythical creature that lives in the wilds of Newfoundland. Tales that varied of descriptions, locations, habits, and size. The wild boloney is quite prolific in NL folklore as there have been stories and songs written, videos, and even beers created in celebration of these creatures.
Sid’s desire and curiosity to learn more about the wild boloney and its existence, lead him to a career in cryptozoology. After searching for the majority of his professional career, Sid Squid says he has indeed discovered evidence that the wild boloney are real, a creature thought to be legend. He has invited the crème de la crème of the scientific and not-so-scientific world to a gathering where he plans to present his evidence. Just as they are about to unveil the evidence though, Sid dies before he can get a chance to show off this new discovery. You must figure out who killed him and why. Is there evidence that the elusive wild baloney really exists? Be aware that there will be red herrings that will direct you away from the real killer. Examine the evidence and keep your eyes and ears open.
Tickets: $35 +HST

Join us for this presentation as we look to the skies and learn about the
celestial bodies visible at different points of the season. This event is
available on the first and last Sundays of each month, from 1:00-2:00pm
and 3:00-4:00pm. All sessions will include a 30 minute planetarium film
and 20 minutes of live show led by Intergalactic Garry Dymond, a member of
our Interpretation team. Garry is an amateur astronomer with 50 years of
experience and is a member of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada
(RASC).
Garry will present the night sky, focusing on what we can
see during the month right here on the Northeast Avalon. This guided
virtual tour of the night sky will teach you to spot and identify a number
of constellations, stars, planets, and more.
The session will take
place indoors, in our portable StarLab. Please note you will be sitting on
cushions on the floor.
Show is for ages 5 and up.
Admission
