About the Event

Creatures of Whimsy brings books to life with a travelling caretaker who wrangles mischievous magical creatures using storytelling, puppetry, and balloon art. This interactive show inspires curiosity, imagination, and a love of reading through laughter and wonder. It all builds to a colourful surprise ending that will leave audiences giggling—thanks to a burst of giant spring snakes and whimsy unleashed!

This is a drop-in program for families with children of all ages and their caregiver.
