    Are all rabbits the same? What do they need? What is a hare and where does it live? Does it have 
    predators? As they explore these questions through games and investigations, kids can enjoy a face-toface visit with a rabbit, and pet its soft fur through this program with the Canada Agriculture and Food 
    Museum.

    Family program for ages 4+.

    Les lapins sont-ils tous identiques? De quoi ont-ils besoin? Qu’est-ce qu’un lièvre, où vit-il et quels sont 
    ses prédateurs? Alors qu’ils explorent ces questions par le jeu et l’enquête, les enfants font aussi 
    connaissance avec un lapin et caressent sa douce fourrure avec le Musée de l'agriculture et de 
    l'alimentation du Canada.

    Programme familial pour les 4+ ans.
