A very interesting place! One visit was not enough so we want to go again. You can learn about local flora and fauna, about the native tribes, about the Nonsuch ship and much more! Entrance is free on first Friday of the month after 4pm!
Definitely one of the good ones, clean and well maintained. It’s an entire day event, they have some really nice exhibits. The planetarium is definitely a must visit. They have paid parking right beside the building.
Super fun and educational place! Lots for children to discover and learn. Don’t forget to check out their science hall downstairs- it’s so amazing for kids! Laser Harp, infinity room, lift-yourself chair, acoustic tricks, river flow water table, just to name a few.
Better check it out yourself - it’s absolutely worth the time and money. Oh yeah, and Nonsuch! 1650 ship replica inside the museum that you can actually get on, and see it all!

Well-curated museum on the province's history/development. Mostly casts and dioramas in the natural history exhibits but there's real artifacts from more contemporary history. I spent about 90 minutes here.
Admission did take a while for some reason. There were 4 families ahead of me and two payment desks, yet it was probably 15-20 minutes before I made it up to pay. Front desk staff were very friendly though.

A wonderful three-in-one experience including natural/human history, a planetarium, and a hands-on science center for kids. Fascinating exhibits in an engaging environment. My daughter enjoyed it all. Highly recommended for adults and children alike.
A beautiful illustration of the Manitoba metamorphosis from prehistoric times, through fur trade to modern times.
All floors are #wheelchair accessible and detailed with appropriate information.
I thought 2hrs was gonna be enough until the museum closed on me.
Will make plans to revisit.
And a point to note, all museums have paid parking. I missed this and had to pay $89

My friend and I had a wonderful time. The displays are informative, awe inspiring and well presented. We love the section on dinosaurs. However, the Planetarium's area and its seats are dated and there’s a funny smell inside. I hope they will remodel soon.
