The BC Forest Discovery Centre celebrates kids this BC Day long weekend for 3 fun filled days for families in and visiting the Cowichan Region. “This event has been a popular tradition for several years now and we thought it was time to TRIPLE the FUN, so we added a third day a couple of years ago” says Chris Gale, Manager at the BC Forest Discovery Centre. “Steam train rides, entertainment, imagination station and activities for the kids, prize draws, our almost famous BBQ, mini donuts, and a great educational experience, are only a few reasons for kids of all ages to come out to the event.”

It's a fun way to celebrate the BC Day long weekend. In fact, you'll want to attend all three days as the entertainment on our outdoor stage will host musician Andy McCormack performing for the kids to dance and sing along with from 11am - 3pm each day with a little help from the Island Savings wise owl Penny, who will be flying in and out throughout the weekend, and some last minute surprises that are sure to make your visit memorable. With 100 acres of discovery, education and fun, you'll want 3 days to experience it all.

Other events still to come this year and that are in the planning stages with sponsors include Labour Day, the launch of our 'Forests Forever' exhibit, Halloween and, of course, the popular Christmas Express. Investing in a membership includes a season’s pass allowing entry to the facility, the train, and to all special events throughout the year, with exception to the Christmas Express which is a fundraising event.

The BC Forest Discovery Centre is a not for profit museum and relies on sponsorships, donations and memberships in order to continue its operations..
