Nature Exchange | Science North Sales

Nature Exchange is a one-of-a-kind adventure.

Nature Exchange is now available as a traveling exhibition/lease-to-own, or as a permanently-installed experience.

Explorers of all ages can learn about the great outdoors, trade their discoveries, and swap stories—all in exchange for something new!

Curiosity is the most valuable thing you can bring. Find a cool rock? Draw a picture of an interesting insect? Have an epic adventure story? Bring it to a Nature Exchange location or share it through our app to earn points and trade for new treasures.

At the Nature Exchange, anyone can swap treasures for points—but here’s the exciting twist: the more you learn, the more you earn! Knowledge is just as valuable as the object itself. Every trade sparks curiosity, conversation, and new discoveries.

Every trade sparks curiosity, conversation, and new discoveries. The more you learn, the more you can trade, turning exploration into a lifelong journey of wonder and appreciation for the natural world.
