A popular event will soar into Grand Bend as the Lambton Heritage Museum hosts a Birds of Prey presentation.
The PA Day event, presented by Wild Ontario, will be held from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Friday, April 24.
Guests can learn about birds of prey while getting an up-close look at them.
Wild Ontario is a program based at the University of Guelph, providing non-releasable birds with a new life and purpose to educate and inspire.
The event marks their third time visiting the museum.
“Their Birds of Prey program was a huge hit with families last time, and we’re thrilled to offer this educational experience again," said Museum Educational Program Coordinator Colleen Inglis. "It’s a unique opportunity to learn about the birds, their behaviours, and the important role they play in Ontario’s ecosystem.”
Meanwhile, the Oil Museum of Canada will encourage guests to "rock on" during its geology PA Day event.
From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., visitors can drop in to learn about different types of rocks and minerals. There will also be hands-on activities, such as creating pet rocks and pressing salt dough fossil impressions.
“Geology might seem hidden beneath our feet, but it plays a huge role in our daily lives,” said Oil Museum Educational Program Coordinator Christina Sydorko. “The geology of Lambton County is especially unique and fascinating as it supports an entire oil industry. We’re excited to have families explore these amazing natural materials and the different ways they are used every day.”
Admission for both events is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and students, $3 for children, and children aged three and under can attend for free.
