    I just wish we had an institution celebrating human rights in the USA. Yeah...., we have a…read moreHolocaust Museum, an African American History Museum and others. But we lack a place where we can see not only the triumphs but also the history of oppression. Which in the US, it is being whitewashed - pun intended. Entering the facility the visitor sees the inaugural exhibit of the museum's opening by HM Queen Elizabeth II in 2010. Inlayed on the exhibit is a stone from the meadows of Runnymede at the place where the Magna Carta was signed, the precursor of constitutional government in modern Western Civilization. Thee institution then offers several exhibits depicting the progress of human rights in Canada. One in particular is the Purge of LGBT People in Canada. Of particular interest is that LGBT people had been a part of Native American culture for thousands of years, and a part of the subjugation of Native cultures was to extirpate tolerance. Sexual diversity, long practiced by First Nations, became a crime. Part of the exhibit is information about how Canada, same as the US, did everything possible to eliminate Native cultures by forcibly removing Native children from parents and sending them to schools where they would be stripped of their cultures. The exhibit on LGBT purges continued throughout Canadian history, its association with the U.S. during the Cold War, and additional developments until full incorporation on all citizens into Canadian life. An amazing historical institution.

    Ok. I love museums and history. Checking this place out was on a list while in Winnipeg. Check…read moreout the special free days. Kids under 17 are also free. Located at the Forks with tons of paid parking available. There's gonna be plenty of walking when you come here. 6 levels of ramps with wide open spaces. Exhibits were interesting but minimal compared to the spaces they were in. I was expecting huge exhibits from eras gone by but left looking for more. Especially from the early civil rights and holocaust timelines. There's a great view of the city from the top observation deck but it's not for the faint of heart walking up those stairs. Take the elevator down to avoid the long walk out. Nice place to check out but for most people it's gonna be a one and done.

The taxidermy were really realistic and the museum is arranged in a logical sequence so you don't miss anything. I regret not going when the museum opens at 10 so I rushed the very end part.

    Don't underestimate this place just because it isn't the Human Rights Museum -- the Manitoba Museum…read moreis massive and absolutely worth visiting. It's one of those attractions that quietly surprises you with how much there is to see and do once you step inside. The museum offers a fantastic mix of history, science, and culture, all tied to Manitoba's story. You'll find beautifully detailed exhibits covering everything from early Indigenous life to natural history, the fur trade, and modern innovations. The full-sized ship replica -- the Nonsuch -- is a true highlight. Stepping aboard feels like stepping back in time, and it's hard not to be impressed by the craftsmanship and storytelling around it. The planetarium is another must-do -- immersive, well-presented, and great for all ages. The Science Gallery is perfect for hands-on exploration, especially if you're visiting with family or just want to unleash your inner kid. The museum is clean, well-organized, and very spacious, so even on busier days it never feels crowded. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and you can tell a lot of care goes into maintaining the exhibits. Honestly, this is one of Winnipeg's most underrated attractions. You could easily spend several hours here and still feel like there's more to see. A must-visit for locals and tourists alike -- five stars all the way. In my case, spending an hour and a half here was not enough to visit the museum in its entirety.

The Lasagna Lookout was the main attraction for all three, and they played in it with various friends they made for a long time. The 5-year-old loved the art station and the train exhibit especially. All three also spent a while in the water play area and the indoor slide. The attendants kept up with maintenance, everything was clean and in working order, and a great time was had by all. Five stars!

    Hands down best Museum for Children…read more At first I thought oh my word the price was steep to get in, but You defiantly make it worth it - hours upon hours upon hours of fun for the kids, running here and there to different stations. Tip: have older kids, like 4-7 year olds. Let them go on their own but have a spot where you will be where they can check in with you when they switch stations. Do not let the "small" building look fool you because oh my word it is HUGE inside. Or that it feels huge inside. Amazing great fun to be had. We stopped once on the way to Ontario and another time on the way back to Alberta. It was that good, that we had to make two stops to see it. Oh and they do pay for parking, DO NOT pay for parking in the parking. But do remember your license plate and they do have a sheet for you to right your name, number and car info on so parking is included. which helps at their admissions.

So many interesting details and the flowers/grounds are gorgeous around the whole property. I took someone new with me and he was just as impressed.

    This is just for the Dalnavert After Dark event…read more This event is billed as a candlelit tour, however there is no tour. We got a short presentation about how the Victorians viewed and dealt with death and their fascination with the paranormal. After that, we (a group of about 25 or 30 people, I think) were let loose in the house with battery-powered candles to look around before congregating in the attic for a ghost story with some theatrics. The main problem with the DAD is that the staff doesn't connect anything they tell you to the actual house itself, meaning it lacks any kind of spooky atmosphere. I was hoping we would be taken through the house by a guide who would share ghostly tales about the Dalnavert house itself, but very little is said of the house and since you can't see any of the exhibits, you can't even enjoy the house as a museum during the DAD. Although the story at the end is good and the theatrics do make it fun, it's some kind of gothic story that is (again) not at all connected to Dalnavert house. I think it would be better if they could get an original story written that includes references to the house. There are plenty of writers around Winnipeg who could whip up a ghost story that features the actual house you're in rather than just telling a story about a random house. Dalnavert After Dark is a great idea, but the execution is lacking. It needs something that ties everything to the house, otherwise it's just wondering around in the dark without any atmosphere whatsoever. (The spookiest thing all evening was unexpectedly seeing one of the elderly lady volunteers silhouetted against a window. That made me jump a bit. Everything else was a bit meh.)
