Discovering Ditches – Richmond’s Playground
February 19 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Free
The Richmond Museum welcomes families to learn about what it is and was like to grow up in Richmond with the current exhibit, Richmond Kids. Visitors can get hands-on with interactive exhibits, testing themselves in a Richmond-based game of chutes and ladders, sharing favourite childhood memories, and building imaginative structures with tiles and blocks.
This Family Day, families will embark on what is sure to be a nostalgic journey into the world of being a child in Richmond, embracing the distinctive Richmond activities surrounding our ditches. From catching frogs to testing jumping skills, these experiences resonate across generations. Families will work together on frog themed crafts, play games and test their ditch jumping skills while learning about the flora and fauna that inhabit our ditches.
Crafts and activities will take place in the Richmond Cultural Centre Annex – History Lab
