Langley’s educational entertainment spots give your kids amazing hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) learning opportunities. At Code Ninjas Langley, they can experience coding pathways and robotics technology, while the Fort Langley National Historic Site offers interactive exhibits and hands-on demonstrations that spark curiosity.
Langley’s FVRL Libraries run coding workshops and STEM clubs, perfect for young minds. Your children learn about aviation history at the Canadian Museum of Flight, build problem-solving skills at Campbell Valley’s Nature Discovery areas, and connect with nature at the Nicomekl Salmon Hatchery’s educational programs. These local spots turn learning into exciting adventures while preparing your kids for bright futures as innovators, all while celebrating the rich educational opportunities our Langley community provides.
Hands-On Discovery: Museum of Langley
The hands-on learning space at Fort Langley National Historic Site is designed as a place where your children can touch real artifacts and learn about Langley’s heritage through play. Your family will find interactive exhibits and immersive displays that tell our community’s fur trade story in ways that engage young minds.
Their ongoing demonstrations and activities bring authentic experiences (check current program schedules):
- Hands-on history stations where your kids get curious about pioneer life and traditional crafts.
- Costumed interpreter demonstrations that bring local fur trade history to life for your family.
