Nature Packs

Interpretive Displays

The visitor centre has interesting, interactive displays about the natural and cultural history of the Cypress Hills.

Portable Starlab

The portable starlab is a recent addition to the park's visitor programs. It is a digital planetarium that uses a computer to generate images that are displayed onto an inflatable dome via a 180-degree projector. Since a computer is creating the images, they can be quickly and easily changed and manipulated to provide views of different parts of the universe and different views of celestial bodies.

Starlab can be used in many locations at any time of the day, allowing us to provide astronomy and stargazing opportunities to a large number of park visitors, including school groups.
