Birthday Parties

Celebrate your birthday at the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre!

Come take part in a variety of hands-on activities and games in our Ocean’s Heartbeat, and throughout the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre. Create a craft, spend time at the touch & feel pool, and go on an aquatic scavenger hunt with our Oceaneers. You can also open your presents up in the Ocean’s Heartbeat.
