We will have a maze for the little ones to go through and a craft. There will be a refreshment stand along with a small retail area to get some goodies. The TERROR ZONE is expanded this year and is not recommended for children under the age of 12. It’s an absolutely amazing scare zone if you dare to enter.

ARRR...Pirates of the Bay

Saturday July 30 – 10:00am to 5:00pm

In cahoots with the Town of Penetanguishene, join us for this swashbucklin’ NEW FAMILY EVENT. Be sure to know your pirate name and beware landlubbers as Discovery Harbour will be the main Pirate Lair!!   Shiver me timbers, rumor has it that the infamous Captain Corbin will be joining the day.

Walk the plank, learn how to speak "pirate" lingo, enter the Pirate's hideaway for fun activities and games, hornswaggler magic, a treasure hunt for dubloons, face painting and ruffians.  

Meet “Buccaneer Brant” for blimey juggling, swab the decks and learn me scallywag knots.  Be on the lookout for a Pirate Skirmish with the HMS Badger and Historic Military Establishments of Upper Canada.  

Shuttles will move visitors between the dock in Penetanguishene and Discovery Harbour.
