Your event must be free or of nominal cost, available to anyone (although adult-only events are fine), and not for profit. (We do make exceptions for artists showing their work who would profit from any sales made and musicians hosting small-scale concerts). Not sure if your event fits?

Thanks for helping make Muskoka a vibrant community!
The Muskoka Discovery Centre is thrilled to announce an exciting and educational event for all ages: “Zoo to You” on Saturday, June 8th, 2024. This unique program, presented in partnership with Zoo to You, brings the wonder and excitement of a zoo visit directly to the Discovery Centre, offering a hands-on wildlife experience that promises to captivate and educate.
From 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, visitors will have the rare opportunity to meet and interact with a variety of exotic animals. The event will feature live animal presentations, where knowledgeable handlers will introduce guests to fascinating creatures, share fun facts, and provide insights into animal behavior and conservation. Expect to encounter reptiles, birds, mammals, and more!
