Mike The Knight Heads To Centre In The Square - Kitchener Ontario - Enter To Win

Family Friendly Stage Show



 
 

Mike the Knight in the Great Scavenger Hunt is based on the brand new CGI-animated series bringing the excitement and enchantment of medieval times into the life of the modern pre-schooler.
The Glendragon Scavenger Hunt is on and the stakes are high; Mike is determined to discover the most knightly way to tackle this chivalrous quest. With a little help for the would-be-hero from his closest friends: Sparkie and Squirt, a pair of quirky dragons and his valiant friend Trollee, as well as his wizard-in-training sister Evie, Mike leads the charge through daunting challenges and unexpected encounters.
Set in an enchanting world filled with medieval castles, plucky trolls and flying dragons, Mike the Knight in the Great Scavenger Hunt unfolds through a mix of adventure, comedy, music, song and dance, and of course a little bit of magic!
Driven by his passion to help others and, along the way, be the best knight he can be, Mike the Knight embarks on an enchanting and interactive adventure of ultimate detection and discovery that’s perfect for the whole family.
