So much to see
May 28, 2014I never tire of seeing the displays, there is always something I missed seeing on the last trip. Great place to take the kids. Don't forget to see the planetarium while you are there.

May 27, 2014Brought out of town visitors, at their request. Has been years since we took our children here. Still a first class well maintained museum. Allow two hours or so. Fun gift store too.

Nice diversion from the cold
May 16, 2014The Museum offered a classic chronological tour through the natural and cultural history of the Manitoba museum. Featuring galleries with native plant and rock species, the panels provided insightful narrative into what life was like in yesteryear and today in the Prairie province. Beware of possible noisy kids on the weekend, but overall a nice presentation. I especially liked the... more

April 30, 2014So many galleries! So much history! The science gallery below is a must for children. A great way to spend 3-5 hours of your day. A little pricey for a family outing.

Kids fun day
April 27, 2014Loved the museum but needs more interaction! Kids loved the boat because you could actually board it. And the Old day town was cool to walk threw and visit the way things used to be!! Could use some updates though :)

Great museum
April 22, 2014I may be slightly biased, as its my home town, but I love the museum. Make sure you plan for a couple of hours though, it's deceptively large with lots to see! If you're travelling to Churchill, this is a must see before you go - the exhibits are wonderful and truly give a great view to the amazing province... more

April 21, 2014Has museum and planetarium. Both are well done. Good displays and there is a replica of 300 year old ship "Nonsuch" displayed in an authentic-looking environment.

Interesting but dated
April 21, 2014There are parts to this museum that are amazing, the replica ship was a highlight as well as the Modern Winnipeg and the Hudson Bay Company. However the natural history part of the museum is in real need of a face lift. Worth it if you're interested in history with some renovations it would get 5 stars easy.

I really enjoyed this museum.
Comprehensive and something for everyone - including the kids.
You have a choice of three attractions, including the planetarium. I only chose the museum part and it was plenty. Would have to come back for the rest, and would be happy to do so.
Great exhibits, engaging, well priced.

Manitoba's Fascinating History
April 19, 2014The Manitoba Museum is a highly interactive museum showcasing the long history of this region and it's inhabitants. There are displays about the animals and plants native to Manitoba and its settlers and historic achievements. A highlight of any visit is boarding the Nonsuch (a real sailing vessel whose gallery was built around it).

This museum is chock full and you need a... more

Throughout history
April 14, 2014The Manitoba Museum has stationary galleries and also presents special exhibitions. You can enjoy and 1900's town and walk through the shops and see how people lived in the west. You can visit dinosaurs which tower over visitors. There is also the Nonsuch ship that you can visit after walking the plank! There's an excellent gift shop as well.

April 14, 2014Even though this site is located in a rough part of the City, it is well worth the effort and admission. There is something to see for every age group. As well, it houses one of the best Planetariums that our family has seen.

A must-see top 10 Canadian Museum
April 14, 2014If you have any interest at all in the history of Canada or the socio-geographic impacts on settlement (and native displacement) then you have ot visit. A bit of a Hudson's Bay slant to presentations, but they are the major contributor to the museum. As well, there is an excellent "snapshot" display of early Winnipeg as a city in that... more

The Best Museum Ever

When I was five I visited this museum for the first time during a school field trip.

Back to the future
April 04, 2014The Manitoba Museum is exactly as I remembered it as a young person. The exhibits have changed little over the years to the point where the museum has a retro feel to it. Some of the exhibits are reading heavy so young children may lose interest. One nice part of the museum is that it isn't so delicate that you... more

A trip down memory lane
April 01, 2014Just as I remembered, this museum is a treat and worth going back to. As with most museums, there's more to see than time, but make sure you take the time to take it the interactive Science exhibit, and see the fundamental pieces that make this planet. A fascinating trip and great for people of all ages!

Like no other museum in any city I've been too
March 28, 2014Arrived 1130am, left 430pm, and we had to really pick up the pace to finish. This museum is massive, we also took in the mummy exhibit which was excellent. It's quite an old museum, I think from 1968, but it was only $32 for my wife and I, we skipped the science centre and platetarium, they seemed more kid based.... more

Always a pleasure

I've visited the Manitoba Museum many times, and each and every time has been a pleasure.
It is very well maintained and I find that I never have enough time to take it all in, no matter how much time I allow myself.
The Nonsuch Gallery, of course, is such a great exhibit, but it's not alone in its quality....

January 11, 2014I enjoyed my time at the museum. I saw the exhibit wrapped the mummy pesed and thought it was so very interesting. I would definitely come back to the museum. I highly recommend coming with a tour guide so that you will be able to hear stories beyond the artifacts.

We visited the above exhibit. It had great documentation. There was three more explanatory videos. There was one mummy on display and various artifacts. Several heads were reconstructed of studied mummy. One interest display was of the spices used in the mummification which you could smell.
With all the written explanation, I think it would be very hard for anyone...

One of the finer museums anywhere
October 21, 2013
Manitoba Museum offers an outstanding look at local natural history starting 4 billion years ago and ending this morning. Heavy on geology for the first few rooms, it then moves to how the landscape and wildlife shaped the people. Then how the Hudson's Bay Company shaped the people. And finally, how the people are shaping nature and the landscape.
