A Day at the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre:

We hope that you can join us for an interesting outing at Wye Marsh. 

In the morning from 10:00 to 11:00 AM we will have a 1-hour guided voyageur-style canoe tour (approximately 6 people per canoe). Experience the unique opportunity to head off the beaten path and into the secluded marsh channels that are home to the Midland painted turtle, bullfrogs, red-winged blackbirds and river otters. While on tour, visitors can expect to learn about the Wye Marsh's ecological, cultural and historical significance while enjoying a relaxing and breathtaking paddle. Lifejackets will be provided.

Bring your own picnic lunch. We will have from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM to picnic and socialize, outdoors under a covered pavilion.

In the afternoon, there are two shows—Turtles (indoors) from 1:00 to 2:00 PM and Birds of Prey (outdoors) from 2:10 to 3:10 PM.

Don't forget water, sunscreen and bug spray!
