Boardwalk
Please note the boardwalk is currently closed for planned capital repairs. We appreciate your patience as we engage in the process to reinvigorate this important element of the Discovery Harbour visitor experience.
Filming
Depending on the nature and timing of your filming project, Discovery Harbour may be a suitable option. While the site is active with public visitors and group programming during the operating season, limited availability may be possible outside regular operating dates and hours, offering an authentic 19th‑century setting for production needs.
During late fall, winter, and early spring, select buildings and locations may be available, with additional opportunities before 10:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m. in the operating season. Captain Roberts’ Table can also support film crews as a base camp, make‑up or wardrobe space, craft services area, or even as a filming location. Please note that additional charges may apply beyond standard Facility Rental rates if extra staffing, security, set‑up, or specialized amenities are required.
