As part of the Province of British Columbia’s Year of Science, the Vancouver Aquarium’s award winning BC Hydro AquaVan will be arriving at the Okanagan Science Centre with live animals from marine habitats of British Columbia’s coast. Touch a sea star, examine a barnacle and discover the connections between aquatic life, the environment and ourselves.
This FREE event will be held on April 30 from 11am to 4pm at the Okanagan Science Centre
Vancouver Aquarium educators will be on-hand with interactive and educational displays of British Columbia’s invertebrates, fish, sharks and marine mammals. A 200-litre mobile touch table will be on-site which will let you get up-close and personal with cold-water marine invertebrates and fish. Don’t miss out on the props, activities and interactive games which will help make this educational experience fun for the whole family!
When you’re finished exploring BC’s marine life, join us inside the OSC for some hands-on science! Activities will be set up for your science discovery all day!
- ‘Make and Take’ station: every child can make their very own Tippy balancing creation to take home!
- Microscope Madness station: check out what’s alive in local pond water samples using the OSC microscopes!
- Static Electricity station: have some hair-raising fun with the Van De Graaff generator!
FREE for OSC members; regular admission applies for non-members
