Parks Canada Xplorers
The Xplorers program will encourage discovery through fun and recreational activities. When they arrive at Thousand Islands National Park, children will receive an Xplorers activity workbook to help them guide their visit. Once they have completed at least three activities, they will receive a certificate and souvenir as tokens of their success. Activities at the park vary from a scavenger hunt to find symbols on rocks and trail hikes to species identification and guided reptile encounters.

Visitor Centre opens for 2013
May 25
There's something for the whole family at the Mallorytown Landing visitor centre. Try your hand at Canada’s national summer sport, lacrosse, and discover the sport’s history and Mohawk cultural connections with our travelling exhibits from the Akwesasne Museum. Kids will be thrilled to get a hands-on experience with Canada's longest snake species. Older kids and families can borrow a GPS and learn to geocache, exploring the landscape on the hunt for hidden treasure. Picnickers can explore new outdoor exhibits on Mohawk culture and the stories of local residents who make a difference in our ecosystem.
