Exhibits are clearly labelled and well lit. The exhibits span four floors reachable through wide, expansive stairways and a spacious elevator that reaches all floors and special exhibits. Informative videos are included in almost all of the exhibits. Lots of things for children to do between exhibits. They have special exhibits for limited times. Parking is not free and the entry fee can be a bit pricey, but it's worth it if you can stay for a worthwhile time.

Had for a quick visit on Thursday evening, best time to go because of the free admission. Got to see a couple exhibits and then had to leave but some very interesting stuff. Also the nature trade is a cool con where you can bring something in knowing the details of it and can trade it for points. And the points can be used to redeem for items. Ranging from fossils to large pine cones.

First time ever going here and I must say, this place is incredible! The design and history of the building itself is something to see. There are 5 floors of knowledge and artifacts to explore; ranging from space, gems and lava to animals, bugs and beyond! Admission price is very reasonable for the amount of time to be spent here.

With two kids (5 & 2) this is a great place to go on a rainy day. The membership costs less if your more than 100km away so for a family it quickly pays off if your visiting inlaws and want to avoid going stir crazy on holiday weekends. It's great for the little ones just to look and see while there's still enough information for adults and bigger kids. Plus the Dino exhibition is way nicer than the ROM in Toronto.

A good museum with a variety of attractions. There are two distinct areas on each of the above ground floors, mostly permanent exhibits with one temporary exhibit. There is a good cafe and a large indoor picnic area if you bring your own food. Downstairs is a small movie theater for 3d movies (extra fee). Not an overly interactive museum but some stuff is interactive. It is quite wheelchair accessible but since it is across 4 floors there is a fair bit of elevator waiting.
