Norval Amazing Race: Try the Norval Amazing Race course which takes you around the Norval property with more than 15 challenges to complete! If your team completes them all, you’ll earn a unique Norval Amazing Race medal.
Crayfish Safari: Did you know there are 3 different kinds of crayfish that live in the Credit River? Help us catch (and release) some crayfish, and see what we can find. Please bring rubber boots for this activity, as you have to wade into water.
