Due to the overwhelming success of the first Education Day a couple of weeks ago, requests have been pouring in to host a second day.

The BC Forest Discovery Centre will once again open the doors to children under 13 years being admitted FREE for the day when accompanied by an adult. Join the Centre's knowledgeable staff and spend a fun filled and educational day exploring the 100 acre facility. Hop aboard a train, explore the buildings and see how loggers lived and worked in the logging camps years ago. Climb the stairs of the Forest Ranger lookout tower and see all over the park, learn all about forest history in the museum and take in the current museum exhibit, the 1938 Bloedel Fire.

Manager Chris Gale adds " our first 'Children's Education Day' was so popular that so many people requested we run a second one. Many just couldn't attend that day or have heard about it from those that did attend, that we just had to do it again. The day is a great opportunity for parents, babysitters, day camp leaders, or anyone with school age children, to have a 'special day' of fun together and learn a lot in the process.Educating is one of the mandates of the BC Forest Discovery Centre, so with so many requests, we've decided to once again offer the day with the special discounted rate".

So this Wednesday, for the one day only, all children up to 13 years old will be admitted FREE when accompanied by an adult. For safety purposes there is a maximum of 3 children per adult that will be strictly enforced. An adult special rate of only $8 is also in effect for the one day.

Chris adds; " Like our first Education Day, plan to stay for the whole day, and join us for a BBQ of a hot dog for $2, or a delicious hamburger for only $3, and add a beverage for only $1".

"At the BC Forest Discovery Centre, we are always looking for ways to learn and educate in a fun way", Chris adds, "this event definitely did just that and was so rewarding to see the kids having such a great time learning. You won't want to miss this second opportunity to take in 'Children's Education Day' and take home with you some history of what your ancestors experienced working in the forests of British Columbia"
