Embark on a day of maritime exploration at Maritime Kids Day, a special event presented in celebration of Whale Fest! This event offers a fantastic opportunity for children and families to engage with the wonders of the marine world.

Sponsored by FoxiPrint, Maritime Kids Day features a variety of hands-on educational activities designed for all ages. Join us for an immersive experience in interactive learning that fosters curiosity and wonder for our marine ecosystem.

Guests include:

Nylon Zoo: Nylon Zoo begins with a puppet show, followed by a costume parade, and finishes with interactive storytelling inside a beautiful inflatable whale. Inside the whale, with interactive storytelling, you will get a chance to portray a grey whale on its long migration, learn about when and how it feeds and you can try out some of its extraordinary, athletic feats!  Afterward, we exit the whale and collect an audience. They will be invited to enjoy the final production of… ‘A whale of a tail’.

Learn about our coastal ecosystem with Parks Canada, Ocean Wise, Ocean Networks Canada, CaNOE, BC Parks Foundation, DFO and Build-A-Whale with Redd Fish Restoration.

Free face painting with Ethereal Face Painting.

Cookie decorating provided by Gray Whale Deli. Snacks and sandwiches are available to purchase by cash.

Join us for a family-friendly day of discovery, where children can explore, learn, and appreciate the marine wonders that surround us.
