Nature House - Today's Events - Saturday, August 8
Saturday, August 8, 2026 at 8:15AM Here's what's on today!
10am-2pm Family Fun Day (All ages)
Location: Forbes Hall - our table is next to the playground, under the maple
We're back at Family Fun Day with two activities to test your senses and stump your brain!
Mystery Tea Tasting
Last year's average score was 4 out of 10. Think you can do better? Ready your sniffers and taste buds and take on our Mystery Tea Tasting challenge - 10 mystery herbs, one small sip at a time. Bragging rights await. A running leaderboard will be kept throughout the day.
Guess the Age of the Tree
How old is that cedar!? Take a close look at our tree rounds (aka tree cookies!) on display and jot down your guesses along with your email - we'll work through them after the day and notify the top scorers by email. Harder than it looks, and more fascinating than you'd expect.
Top scorers in both activities will be awarded a prize!
*****
1-3pm SLC Drop-in: Underwater Acoustics (All ages)
Location: Sea Life Centre, Telegraph Harbour Marina
Missed Friday's session? Same great activity running again today:
Did you know the call of a fin whale can be heard from 6,000km away? Come to the SLC this weekend to discover how sea creatures use sound to communicate, hunt, and navigate the deep.
The SLC is open Friday-Sunday whenever the seastar flag is flying - drop in anytime!
