Tinkering Space: The WorkSafeBC Gallery is your place to put things together, take them apart again, and nurture the problem-solving part of your brain.  Do some experimental construction with Strawbees, or see if you can put together a load stable enough to stay together when you slide it down a ramp. We also offer daily tinkering programming and Maker Workshops.

Wonder Gallery

Play-based learning is so important for kids! Whether your child is still crawling, already playing with blocks, or at the age when they want to clamber up any tall structure they see, the highly interactive, 3,300-square-foot Wonder Gallery has a place for them. We have soft crawling spaces; a tall rope-climbing structure; an interactive space where you and your child can play with engaging materials; multi-coloured blocks that your child can use to create a kaleidoscope; the ever popular water table; and a mess pit, for that satisfying family building experience.
