This March Break there’s magic in the air, as the Pier 21 Story exhibition comes alive. Through an immersive theatre-meets-escape-challenge, participants will meet four different characters and choose their own adventure. Assist the immigration officer in enforcing entry rules, help a refugee from the SS Walnut, join the Red Cross, and maybe find out what secrets the security guard is keeping. Choose a path to complete, then race against time to solve the puzzle. Lives are at stake, and history could be changed. Will you be In Time?
Individuals are welcome to drop in, and groups of up to 20 can reserve a time slot by emailing groupvisits@pier21.ca
