• The Water Gallery where visitors will learn all about our watershed and the impact we as people have on it. The gallery is full of hands-on exhibits including a 96’’ virtual touchscreen aquarium!

The Muskoka Discovery Centre is also in the midst of adding a whole new 12,000 square foot exhibit area and boathouse which will house three new permanent exhibits including “Misko-Aki Confluence of Cultures” an exhibit dedicated to telling the Indigenous story of Muskoka which is being designed and curated by an incredible Indigenous team, and “Evolving Muskoka: Life on the edge of the shield” which will tell the complex story of Muskoka and how it has become what it is today. The final exhibit will be a fully restored and electrified Wanda III steam yacht, which will sit in a new boathouse located in the new building.
