Lots of hands-on, high-tech interactive exhibits that my 12, 8 and 5 yr olds loved! It looks like it would be a classy venue as well. We took a quick little walk on the Fraser River Trail afterwards. Recommended! read less

Upon arrival we were excited to see a beautiful horses drawn carriage. The horses were beautiful to watch. This building is beautiful and could be used as a wedding reception, anniversaries, business or pleasure. The view from the building with doors open is spectacular. The square footage is tremendous, to include the upstairs. The Headwaters Center signage is clear to see from Highway 40. The building is handcap accessible, to include an elevator. There are public restrooms that are conveniently located. The saturday we were there, they had a dinosaur exhibit and interaction activities for the children. I even colored for awhile with my grandsons. The Headwaters Event Center deserves a good look for any future events. read less
