The Manitoba Museum is the province's largest attraction, hosting more than 300,000 visitors annually. The Museum features an ever-changing variety of touring and specialty exhibits, as well as nine permanent galleries that span the length of four football fields.

The Manitoba Museum is noted for its dramatic walk-through settings, including The Nonsuch, a 17th century full-size replica ship that visitors can board, and the Urban Gallery, a trip back through time to boomtown Winnipeg in the roaring 20's.

All regions of Manitoba are represented in the galleries, including the Grasslands, Parklands, the Boreal Forest, and the Arctic/Sub arctic, where a magnificent polar bear waits under the Northern Lights for daylight to break. The newest attraction is Ancient Seas, an animated undersea observatory that takes visitors back 450 million years, to when Churchill was blanketed by a tropical sea.

Planetarium and Science Gallery

The Planetarium features live multimedia shows that re-create the current night sky, highlight the latest space discoveries, and follow the developments of the space program. From animated children's shows to informative programs that delve a bit deeper, the Planetarium introduces the wonders of the universe to sky watchers of all ages.

The Science Gallery is interactive fun for all ages featuring fun, hands-on exhibits that encourage learning and discovery.
