The Giftshop

There is a gift shop at Ball’s Falls. It also houses the admissions desk. You can purchase some refreshments and snacks there for your day at Ball’s Falls as well as cool toys. There are authentic Ball’s Falls gifts and wooden games and toys just like the settlers would have played with. Reference books are also available for purchase if you happen to see something on the trails that you want to identify or if you are interested in learning more about your surroundings. But the best part of the gift shop is that you can adopt some of my friends! So be sure to stop by Ball’s Falls and see what the giftshop has to offer!

My Friends who are ready for Adoption!

Northern Owls are a HOOT!

Who doesn’t love owls? I personally know they are great birds, even thought I have to watch out because they might be hungry when they see me! Ball’s Falls Centre for Conservation is holding a “Northern Owls” exhibit starting September 18th and running until November 15th. In this exhibit, which is from the Royal Ontario Museum, you can learn all about different types of owls and their habitat. Also accompanying the exhibit is a great children’s activity area where there is plenty to do! There will be a few different special day events during the run of this exhibit so be sure to keep checking back for more information on them. There is also an educational program that is available for schools from kindergarten to grade 8, to book this or for more information please call 905-562-5235 ext. 26.
