We welcome all members of the community to come together and experience inspiring events that bridge science, arts, and culture. Weβve got incredible events for kids and adults interested in astronomy in Vancouver.
Join us in celebrating Earth Day at the Museum of Vancouver (MOV), Vancouver Maritime Museum (VMM), and H.R. MacMillan Space Centre!
Representing Land, Sea, & Sky, the Vanier Park attractions will combine various activities and crafts for everyone to enjoy on April 20th.
Admission to the MOV & VMM will be free by donation, with the Space Centre charging regular admission fees, but will feature free Earth Day crafts and a presentation as part of this special day.
Come and tinker with inventions that demonstrate how we can use energy from the Sun to power technology! Build an energy meter, satellite dish, cooling fan and more!
Workshops have limited capacity so donβt miss out. Kids must be accompanied by an adult.
Workshops recommended for ages 7-15.
Workshops running at 10:30am, 12:30pm and 2:30pm. Registration available at the door. Cost to attend $6.50.
