Our note

This one is not at the museum building, it is at the Haig-Brown property, so plan the bus for a second address. They give two different lengths for it, so ask which you are getting.

What the children do

A guided tour of the Haig-Brown property covering the life and work of Roderick Haig-Brown, including his study. Most of the tour is outdoors. The museum's booking form lists it as one hour, while the program sheet describes a two hour program.

Walk the grounds of the Haig-Brown property and go inside the study where he wrote his books and articles.

Good to know

Most of this is outdoors at a separate property, and nothing is published about washrooms, lunch space or a wet weather plan there. Ask about all three when you book.

Sources disagree. Two of their pages give different grade ranges for the colonization program. One says grades 8 to 12 and the booking form says 6 to 12. If you have a grade 6 or 7 class, ask before you count on it.

Sources disagree. They give two different grade ranges for the archaeology program, one starting at grade 7 and one at grade 6. A grade 6 class may or may not be eligible, so check when you book.

Sources disagree. The Haig-Brown tour is described as two hours in one place and one hour in another. Plan your bus for the longer one and confirm the length when you book.
