Traders' Goods: The Nature Exchange at Springs Preserve

Do your visitors love to collect things?

How about exploring nature and learning all that they can about their natural environment? Then the Nature Exchange is a natural fit for you!

In 1984, when Science North opened its doors, the Swap Shop (as the Nature Exchange was called at the time) became one of the most popular visitor exhibits. As a natural trading center, it's a place where people can bring items from nature and trade for other natural items from the constantly changing Nature Exchange collection.

“The goal is to help encourage people to practice real science skills,” said Marie McConnell, the Telus World of Science staff scientist in charge of the Nature Exchange. “We’re asking people to be curious in nature, to ask questions, to answer those questions by doing research and to share what they’ve learned. And that’s the backbone of science.”

The Nature Exchange is a unique learning environment for visitors. It relies on the individual trading of natural items, giving visitors a personalized experience with every visit.

Locations are completely customizable for your space. The branding has been updated and refreshed.
