Step close to a sculpture by Alexandre Joly and listen as storytellers Joëlle Flumet and Camille Lacroix bring “The Guardian” to life. Hear short tales that ask who watches whom and what it means to protect or possess. Children will touch ideas of weight and wind, imagine stone blocks and soaring color, and answer playful questions about lifeguards and borders. Then everyone builds a bright kite, feeling fabric and string and watching it dance in the breeze.
Kids ages 5 and up.

The Biopark is temporarily hosting Janus, a unique two-headed Greek tortoise, during the renovation of the Museum. Each head of this male tortoise has its own independent brain, which sometimes makes its movements challenging. In captivity, Janus receives attentive care, resulting in an impressive lifespan of 26 years.
Follow Fritz, a devoted municipal gardener whose orderly routine is upended when an odd little cabin appears in the park. Marguerite, a whimsical and endearing character, lives there with Toni, her pet fish. From this unlikely cohabitation springs a comic encounter of mishaps, pratfalls and absurd situations where tiny gestures trigger cascading consequences. Performed by a duo of clowns, this wordless show blends visual humour, slapstick and tender moments for the whole family.
Kids ages 3 and up.
