The Delta Museum is looking for young detectives to help solve the latest Mystery in the Museum.
It’s the summer of 1950 and a report has been filed with the local police station. Someone has robbed the Mc & Mc Store in Ladner!
The clever thieves brought a boat underneath the part of the store built over the river and drilled a hole to climb inside. The robbers took valuable items from the store without ever having to break in through a window or door.
Your job as the Delta police officer is to investigate the crime and find out the “hole” truth. Can you catch the thief? Come to the museum and solve the crime.
Clues can be discovered throughout the museum. As you move from clue to clue, the evidence you discover will bring you closer to solving what happened to the stolen items.
Allow a minimum of one hour to collect all the evidence and solve the mystery.
The drop-in program is suggested for children ages seven to 12. Children under seven years are welcome to participate but might need additional parental assistance.
The program runs March 17 to 20 and March 24 to 27 during regular museum hours of 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Cost is $5 per mystery-solving kit. The Delta Museum is housed in a historic 1912 Tudor-style building located in the heart of Ladner Village at 4858 Delta St.
