Membership Extensions

Your membership was automatically restarted on July 16th and four months will be added to the end of your membership to account for the closure during COVID-19. If your membership lapsed during the closure (March 16, 2020 – July 16, 2020), you will automatically receive an extension for the amount of time your membership was valid. 

What to expect during your next visit?

With reopening comes some operational changes to ensure both the safety of our visitors and the sanitization of our space.  

Hours of Operation

We will start by reopening Thursday – Sunday, 9:00am-12:00pm & 1:00pm-4:00pm.  

Online Admission Tickets

To monitor capacity and follow Nova Scotia Public Health Authority guidelines, we ask that you now purchase your admission tickets online before arriving at the Discovery Centre. For members this will mean selecting the ‘member’ ticket type for each family member coming to the Centre. 

Tickets are only valid for the timeslot purchased (9:00am-12:00pm or 1:00pm-4:00pm). You may arrive at any time during your timeslot, however, in order to give staff time to clean during the changeover, all visitors must leave at the end of their timeslot, regardless of when they arrived.  

Tickets are not transferable to another time or date.  

What to Expect

• Follow directional routes throughout the building to make it fun for your family and to ensure physical distancing measures are adhered to inside the Discovery Centre 
• Hand sanitization stations will be readily available throughout the facility 
• High interaction areas like the front desk and café have been enclosed in plexiglass for the safety of staff and visitors
