What are all the Halloween activities available?
Stop by the Sorcerer’s Haven (a menagerie of strange creatures like cat-spiders) or take a Wand Handling Class (learn how to wield a magic wand and master its power!) or Potions Workshop (think plant witchery and potion-making).
Don’t miss the Scaredy Squirrel play, the Magic Steps Circuit (a treasure hunt for spooky creatures), learning about the power of gourds or KOWAI! (Japanese stories about evil ogres, witches, spirits and demons).
What else is happening at Espace pour la vie?
Espace pour la vie is made up of five major attractions: the Biodôme, the Biosphère, the Insectarium, the Botanical Gardens and the Planétarium.
