The BC Forest Discovery Centre is back with the Easter Eggspress with 3 days of FUN with the annual Easter Scavenger Hunt for families in and visiting the Cowichan Region. “This event has been a popular spring tradition for more than ten years and was so popular that we had to expand and celebrate it for the entire 3 days of the Easter long weekend. As our first event for 2024 we are excited to see our regular members and the families that make so many of our events their family traditions.  We are so looking forward to being open for the 3 days to celebrate Easter,” says Chris Gale, manager at the BC Forest Discovery Centre. 

“Unlimited train rides, goodie bags for those on the scavenger hunt, and a great educational experience will await those attending the celebrations, and the concession will be open, are just some of the reasons for kids of all ages to come out to the three-day event.”  An admission rate of $8 for children 3 – 12 years (2 and under are FREE) and $12 for adults, seniors/youth at $10 makes it an affordable, fun day for all. Tickets are available for purchase at the door.

This year’s event is scheduled for Saturday, Sunday, and Easter Monday from 10 am to 4 pm with goodie bags being provided for children who complete the scavenger hunt. Thanks to sponsor Save On Foods for supplying the goodie bags of Easter Treats! And special thanks to all our volunteers and sponsors that help make these family-friendly events happen.
