Stimulate your brain at Exploration Place Science Centre and Museum, located in Fort George Park. Fullsized dinosaur models, 70-million-year old fossils, a wide ranging selection of live critters, hands-on games for kids, First Nations artifacts, an operable Nickelodeon player piano, an authentic jail cell, an interactive sports machine that tests your abilities at five sports — these are just some of the experiences that await.
Visit a park! Enjoy Shane Lake, and 15 km (9 mi) of trails at Prince George’s largest park: Forests For The World. Delight in lush flower gardens and a panoramic view from Connaught Hill Park, behind the downtown public library. Take a ride on the narrowgauge steam train on summer weekends and holidays — all in Fort George Park, in the center of town. Catch live entertainment, bring the kids to the Rotary water-spray playground. From here, you can walk, bike or blade the Heritage River Trail, which follows the Fraser and Nechako Rivers, to Cottonwood Island Park.
Embrace Prince George winters — on groomed cross-country ski trails convenient to downtown, three nearby ski hills and enough indoor and outdoor ice to keep skaters, curlers and hockey players moving! W W W. NORTHER NBCTOUR ISM.CO M
