The Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre which opened in 1971 was designed to provide education and information about local environment and rainforests. You can find many exhibits and interactive activities that will help you learn about the plants and animals in the area especially those in rainforests. The Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre is a fun place to visit for all ages. The centre provides informational areas for young and adults. Adults can learn from many of the exhibit information and children have specific areas where they can play and learn at the same time.
The Kid's Exploratorium provides kids with the opportunity to learn about plants in the rainforest and forests of the area by being able to touch and feel. Children learn from experiencing through different senses and the centre provides learning through seeing, touching, and hearing about the environment. Adults can learn through this medium which makes it a great place to spend quality time with your entire family. The centre offer special programs throughout the year such as stories, questions and answer sessions, and other educational workshops.
