Additional Information
In the Boat House & Skiff House discovery centre, you can try your hand at a river boater’s life. The sights, sounds and mechanisms of a real boat give the Boat House an authentic feel. If you’re feeling ready for some hard work, you might even try rowing the boat for a little while in our simulators, challenging your family to a rowing duel!
After racing your skiff, take a rest and unwind surrounded by turtles, ducks and natural river scenes. But be careful – the weather can be unpredictable! Lightning, thunder and rain are normal parts of a boater’s life, and here in our Boat House, you just might get caught in a “storm.”
Submerse yourself in the natural history of the region in Creation, a hands-on experience that lets you trace your way through the ages by following the evolution of rocks like granite, basalt, quartz and limestone. Start with ancient igneous rocks made from lava, and make your way to newer sedimentary ones. Learn how these changes came to be as video monitors tune you into the story of the geologic creation of this fascinating region, from glaciers two miles deep to the St. Lawrence River and Frontenac Arch.
Product and Services
Our daily lives – work, school and family – often consume our thoughts so much that we forget that we humans are only one part of the glorious equation that adds up to life on Earth. But once you set foot in our Biosphere Hall and see the Earth itself projected in high-definition glory and suspended high above your head, you’ll be reminded once again of the magnitude of our Blue Planet and all the ways we humans are just one part of a much greater story!
While water is a crucial part of life in the 1000 Islands, we’re more than just an aquarium. From our massive 42-foot long projection screen, get a closer look at the abundant plant and wildlife species that are native to the St. Lawrence and 1000 Islands region. Watch in wonder as surprising and little-known facts about life on Earth are projected above your head on our gigantic model of the home planet. When you step into Biosphere Hall, the glory of nature will surround you, projected in stunning, vivid detail so every inch of our wondrous world is visible in a never-before-seen way.
