Reviews of Children's Museum (Museum)

Yuliya Kharitonova

A great place for kids to spend the day. Educational and fun. A real train in installed in the centre, where kids can go inside and explore. There's a nice little area for under two as well.

Garen Hagopian

Great place for kids.

StayHumble

My Daughter had a Blast from the Train to the Huge Lasanga Play Structure

Kiko Cadorna

I like the dinosaur part of it but i dont like the planetarium, i felt dizzy and didn't catch my kids attention.

vaibhav Malewadkar

Good option for children to enjoy indoor activities.

PR Mapuyan

Staff are very accommodating!

RH House

Great kids and parent. Or grandparent place for fun and learning

Devin MacNevin

So much fun, kids did not want to leave. Great rainy day destination.

ESL Teacher Sam

Super fun for the whole family!

Stephanie Buckshot

My children had so much fun, they didn't want to leave. Definitely going back.

Ryan Frodeo

My kid loved this place

Natali Geva

It's a lovely place to spend a couple of hours with the kids. My 2-9 years old kids enjoys spending time there.

Chris and Stephanie Ashley

We went to the children's museum today and took our two granddaughters ages 4 and 1. there were so many things for them both to get entertained by. We spent three hours there and they came home exhausted. There is play structures for them to play in, there is activity centers for them to build things, there is a blocks and construction area where they can build towers and make them come crashing down, and there is a really nice area where they can just sit and quietly play and read a book. on the train inside the museum is very cool you can see how a train works you can see what it looks like to drive the train and they're in the train cars at self you can sit quietly and also read books. We brought coffee in and they had no issue with that. There are places to eat and you can buy small amounts of food there but not a full restaurant. We paid $11 per person from ages one to a hundred and one but we decided at the end of the day that we would buy a family membership for each child and that was only $45 total so we ended up being able to use our admission today as a credit so we didn't have to pay any extra. this place is a lot of fun and because it's indoors means when it's raining it's a great place to come and spend time with the kids. Winter or summer. Oh and one of the thing when you are going there you get three hours of free parking so don't pay for parking before you go in just give them your license plate number once you get your admission. and if you have a yearly pass like we just bought you get three free hours every single time you go to visit them.

Anne

We went for a corporate children's Christmas party and honestly they couldn't have chosen a better location. There's so much for the chikfr n to do, and they get to learn at the same time. Although we got free parking, there's always tons of parking available and the cost is reasonable, plus it's easily accessible by public transit as well. Overall, it's a wonderful place, close to the Forks, and a great way to spend time with your kids. I would recommend the Children's Museum to all going families and intend to return regularly.

Wayne Sustar

Not for babies. Toddlers yes. Only one small area for babies

Aurora Mcnab

my nephew had a birthday here and everyone had an amazing time. there is more then enough things to play with!

Vanessa Vanderhooft

Great for kids to spend a morning. Not something they can do over and over again.

Fun times!

William Darling

My son and his friend had a blast

Ashley Cor

Such a great place for kids to run around in!

Elizabeth Diaz

Great place for taking your little ones explore and learn through play!

Jessie Hiebert

I had so much fun with our toddler, there are so many things to explore

David Anyadike

One of our favorite children's museums

Eric

I would definitly recommend the place. Kids could enjoy it I guess from 2 till 14 yo. Minus one star for the learning side.

Denis Paulhus

Excellent place for young children. All kinds of fun activities for kids!!!

Brian

A nice place to take the kiddos for an afternoon. The place is starting to show its “age”. The piano in the corner is no fun to anyone and for some reason they still have yet to put a simple door at the top of the illusion tunnel to prevent children from wondering off into an area they shouldn’t be in. The back “miniature room” is more haunting than fun. Also, there’s a lot of “dead space”. Better planning can really help this place utilize its space more efficiently.

Marina Havard (Marishinka)

My kids love it even my 11 year old. My Autistic son who is 8 year old loves the sensory days (haven’t had one in ages), hoping they start soon. He loved the trains and everything. We miss this special event and hope the museum brings it back. We are starved for activities especially during the winter.

Nella Allen

A great way to spend a day out with your family. There are exhibits and activities for all ages. Wonderful staff too

Shawna Smith

Fun activities for toddlers, and good food nearby at the forks for adults :-). Older kids might get bored.

Sarah Lefebvre

Busy on the weekends but lots of fun for the kiddos! Only downside is the lack of convenient parking that is few for longer than three hours, but not their fault.

Kayla Deitz

So fun for they kids they really had a blast

Vladan Bozic

Lots for kids to do and with other things at The Forks (outdoor areas and other places) is definitely bound to keep them entertained.

Em Eff

Our toddler loved it. So did the grandparents! Spent a few really fun hours here

C G

Great place for kids under 12.

Flavio C.

Lots of fun for kids!!!! Had a great time there

Jaime Bataller

The museum can be reserved for a private children's event in the evenings and it is a welcomed surprise!

Nick Surmai

Great place for kids, educational and fun. Excellent place for kids birthday parties

Yuriy Vityk

The best place to host a birthday party in Winnipeg!

Michela carriere

Nephew loves this place

Tara Rempel

It's an ok place to go. I would say though that charging adults who do not play the same amount for admission is absurd. Maybe a smaller amount like half of a childs admission would be ample for us to merely be present.

acx74

3rd year coming from Alberta and last. Major disappointment. Lego display replaced by an unsightly and uninspiring tape, yes tape display. Several exhibits not working correctly. Poorly supervised larger kids throwing items and bullying. Save your money and go somewhere else. Looks like it's under construction or repair. P.s. traveling parents, come in the afternoon if you must, to avoid your kids competing with 100 daycare kids.

Kevin A. Sandberg

This place is so great for kids and adults, this is always on our "To-Do" list when we come visit the city of Winnipeg.

Andrew Dobbie

Tons of fun for kids of all ages!

biggestguns

Was 37$ for me my wife and baby. Parking reimbursement with admission. Lots to do though.

sheena johnson brown

Excellent experience. We spent 3hours in all, playing and learning. Really want to come back. Wonderful

Colin D

Brought back a lot of memories from when I went to visit the museum as a child on school trip. My 14 month old had a good time. Loved seeing The Eaton's Fairytale Vingettes. Those used to be in the old Eaton's building when I went to go see Santa as a child.

Alvarim Costa

Amazing place for kids.

J Szymanski

Recently wanted to book a child’s birthday party. After trying the booking line with no answer for hours I finally just spoke to the front desk women who was very nice and helpful. She then transferred me to Annalise? In booking who was apparently at her desk. Although she answered the questions she seemed annoyed and kind of snooty. Why do places not understand you get business by being nice!! So disappointed and will not book her because clearly they don’t want the business.

Darwin

a good place to spend your time with your kids. only thing is since its inside the forks, parking is really hard

Joy Clemons

I agree with the previous comment very expensive and not much to do had three children ages 2 4 and 12 and all got bored -Admission should not be 10.00 for children under 2. No interpretive staff on the floor at all and some exhibits did not work

Tiffany Bieber

Not like a museum. Also it's ridiculous you have to pay for adults when all you have to do is stand around, read or twiddle your thumbs while your child plays.

Keinsler Sison

Children will love this place specially the water area. A little bit pricey but worth it in my opinion.

Jim Connor

To expensive for the average family, why do the parents have to pay?

Tiffany Tang

We had tons of fun! So much to do, my girls loved the water table area!

marlysegura

the truth was not what I expected but it's okay to be with the children for 30 minutes

Brandon Barton

I brought my year and a half old son here and he had a blast. I had to pull him away from the water table he didn't want to leave; probably would play with it all day if you let him. Great place for children!

DrManjot Kang

Great place for kids !!

J. R.

Staff were so friendly. My kids always enjoy their stay here especially during summer day camp.

Pablo Ventura

For the price of admission, one would hope that any equipment down for repair would be done so immediately. Especially since the equipment never changes, it'a always the same!

Richard Pogue

Good for little kids, my 3 year old loved it but older kids 10 & 12 were a bit bored.

Derek Habberfield

Great interactive museum for children!

Cheyenne Zombiie

Kids had alot of fun, nice and open, had lockers and coat hanging area, also long tables to eat at.

Dr. Sackeria Jackson-Hinds

Nice indoor play area.

JinyYoony Channel

Good to have 3hrs free parking, you can have a service at front dest in children's museum with tablets

Rachel Young

Hard to find parking but the kids enjoyed themselves.

Joni Manikel

Attended a birthday party there, it was well organized, clean and the hostess was great with the kids!

Derek Frantsvog

My son loved it and I could participate with him! Very interactive. Keeps the whole family busy.

Matthew Cornelisse

Best place for a little kids birthday party. Package includes room for 2h and unlimited play time for all the kids. Staff was super nice and helped load and unload party snacks from the car.

David Wiebe

Good classic breakfast place. Excellent endless coffee, prompt and friendly service

Kimberly Anne St-Laurent

Our family had a blast today! At first sight we thought: "Oh it's small, with this size of a place the boys will be through all this soon." Well... We were wrong! The kids (ages 3-8) really enjoyed playing in the water, playing with the cows vacuum, climbing the lasagna play structure, the warped slide, making crafts... My youngest fell in love with the train! He sat conducting that (stationary)train for a real long time! We stayed longer then we had planed! And the location of the museum was great (at the Forks) so that we take a stroll and enjoy other things nearby (like ice cream)! The kids did not want to leave! The staff was real nice, the bathrooms (I found the kids stalls cute!) play areas, seating areas where kept clean! Note: If you plan to bring a meal or snack there, it is a peanut free environment.

Chris Ivany

Geared more for toddlers than older children, but enjoyable none-the-less.

Fayad Fayad

Good place for children

Scott Kilborn

Children Museum absolutely amazing.

Josiah Speers

Great stuff!

OBJay

Awesome! Easily three hours of entertainment and fun in not an overly huge place.

cynthia goossen

we went to the museum with our two children who are one and two years old but were so not glad to find out that they charged too much.for a family with two children pays 40 dollars . in my opinion they should increase the age SHOULD NOT START AT ONE YEAR old and lower their charge per child $10 ...it is a kids museum and should be affordable for a family to visit.

Dakota

Just gotta say I'm extremely disappointed. Maybe I'm misremembering but I recall there being a lot more to do along with a lot more nature related stuff. They also ruined the train.

Emma Voelpel

The childrens museum used to be so amazing until they renevated it, now it's awful

David Tait

Sees me place for the kids. They absolutely loved it.

Stan Crowther

Well worth a visit this place is awesome. Not only for kids for adults too

Curé Family Adventures

Brought my 4 kids aged from 6-13 and everyone had fun. Great way to spend a couple hours.

Margaret Gehman

Loud and chaotic, but very fun! To children it's a magical wonderland of fun! There are areas for all ages, 1 year olds to adults!

Dave Thomas

Great place to bring the kids. Seems to be something for most ages, 2 and up

s z

Great place for kids.

Delcio Alves Castro Pereira

Great place with great infrastructure but if it is with big family prepare if to spend, light lunch advice and eat in the area of meals because there is no restaurant

Selena HALL

Kind of small but the kids loved it..

Darrin

They should redeem your parking costs...No food service either.Good staff and clean facility but on the expensive side for a family.

Alicia Thwaites

Kids love it here. Very expensive though so we need to plan well ahead to visit. Disappointed they took the hand driers away from the water table.

Chris Marsh

My 8 year old had some fun but I hate to say she got bored rather quickly. Not a whole heck of a lot to do there imo.

Michael Pesole

Great place for young children.

Susan Kuzel

Activities were fun...delightful !

Kris Kehler

There is a lot to do for kids to spend time playing and learning

gravittii

My kid loves it!

Ivonne Sinclair

Great place for the kids, even my husband loved it and we all had fun there. The Forks market is beside it so you can had some lunch there when you go. Parking is free for 3 hrs when you go to the museum.

Jami Neal

Charging per adult was pretty odd for a kid's play place. The parking lot isn't great and the way you pay for parking isn't immediately obvious. The admission to the kids museum includes parking, so you don't pay at the meters. The actual "museum" itself is actually a giant playground with castle building areas, crane operation places, crafting sections, a jungle gym, and all kinds of stuff. They obviously don't control the local parking, but the pricing for adults was still pretty strange. Had a lot of fun watching my kiddo play with stuff. Would recommend.

Narender rakhra

You expect your kids to learn?? This is what you must try once...

Randall Pentney

Fun place for the little ones. Party rooms are available.

David Burgess

Some unique exhibits and learning opportunities. Very engaging for the children and enjoyable for parents. Multiple party rooms with windows and sinks. We spent a couple of hours here but could have spent more. The kids and I are looking forward to returning in the future.

Garry Bhullar

Perfect place to keep kids happy. Can be a bit pricey for some.

Russell Watts

Great place to spend an afternoon. Fun for all ages

A

Much less of a museum and more of an indoor toddler friendly playground. Much smaller than we’d expected it to be. Considering its target audience is small children who require adult supervision, the price per person of $11 seems ridiculous when you compare it to other indoor playgrounds where typically only the children are charged admittance.

Sabrina P. Fidalgo

A great option to spend some time with our kid playing and learning.

Karl Krause

Very educational, very fun. My kids all love it. One of the reasons we love visiting Winnipeg with the family.

Weronika Dubois

Lots of fun for my 5 year old and my 1 year old too! Great activity on a cold day.

Elizabeth Bárbara

Really cool place to bring children. So much fun and cool activities!

Samuel Downey

My kids always enjoy coming here.

Jayvee De Ocampo

Drop by if you are at the Forks! Great place for your children and adults too!

Tanila smith

Great place. Well thought out.

Steven Jolicoeur

its ok, this place gets boring very fast!

Gordon Stewart

Great place, a lot of fun for kids.

André Luís Ribeiro Didier

That's a great place to entertain kids. My 6yo and 3yo girls love it! For those living in Winnipeg and around it worths being a member. As of the end of 2018, if you go 4 times a year it's paid.

Brenda “super_wolf77” favell

Nice place for kids to play and enjoy themselves, and the staff is very friendly.

Russell Novadale

Great place for kids

Clash Contrast

they should change the exhibits more often

Matt Freeman

Great space, well laid out, but could definitely use a few more exhibits/stalls to occupy the kiddos.

John Reimer

My daughter really enjoyed it..good for group of kids

Shawn Bruce

Nice place with a lot of activities but is usually ruined by people not watching their kids.

Albert Riezebos

Great for kids.

Kevin Guenther

An expensive but fun destination for families with young kids. Worthwhile as an indoor play place during the cold winter months.

Johnny Rawton

I miss the old news room. But things have to update. It is interesting and my child had a great time. Will go back again.

Dan Law

Its a neat place to spend an hour or so, but it's starting to lack and there nothing new and exciting in years. With the fact they charge adults, you would hope something new is coming. Can be a pain to park and lug the little ones from one side of the Forks to the museum, there is a machine inside to get free parking. Have to check it out once or twice, let your little one be the deciding factor but there are other things to do cheaper and better in the city.

Patti Sommer

A great time for kids but expensive for adults

Tim Walden

Great place to go especially when it's -35

The dark lord of fish

Me and my family were here and me and my little brothers loved it there's so much stuff about electricity and dinosaurs but to be honest mostly about electricity it was really fun

Brent Oig

Very fun time spent with my son. It was fun fun fun...

Josephine Cadizal

Awesome place to spend the day or even a few hours! So many engaging activities!

M E

Great for babies through to kids I'd say up to age 3, maybe 4. Membership is totally worth it - get the value from it in the winter months alone!

Brenda Cahill

My son loved the mini excavator and real train on site. The museum only has one floor but with very unique and interesting things. We loved it. Worth every penny!

Richard Peterson

Excellent place to bring the kids. They live it here.

Jason Penner (Aspire Fitness)

An absolute blast for little kids.

Pearce

Can be quite busy when schools and programs are visiting, however the space is large enough to handle it and you can find something to do somewhere inside.

Ryan Cormack

Kids had a fun time. I liked the closed concept they had previously (easier to keep track of the kids. Very creative play structures.

John S

Very fun place for kids to explore and reasonably priced for parents. They keep the place surfaces clean to

Jason Salamandyk

Really enjoy it here, and it is important to check the calendar of events as something fun is always going on. Would like a slight refresh in some areas, but kids coming for the first time will have an exceptional experience.

Faron Hancock

Not to many things

Sarah Patricia

Went as part of a nursery school field trip. Great programming about colours. Bilingual. Free time in museum was enjoyed with a seek and find bingo card.

Precious Gauthier

Great place on a family funday!

Gileen Gabriel

I went here with the daycare children and it was great.. the only thing was there were areas that were closed for maintenance so the children had few areas to explore.

Roy Sommerfield

We take our grand kids here regularly. They love it!

Jocelyne Chan

Loads of fun for kids and toddlers...I'd call it more of a giant indoor playground than a museum though. Great place for parents to bring their kids when the weather isn't so great.

Trevor Barratt

They are under a bit of construction right now, not it's a good place to go with a 2-4 year olds. My little man is 2 years old and he loves running around here.

Marcos Aparecido Sarzi Junior

My children loved and we too.

Adam Dmytriw

Great place to lose the kids for a while. Hadn't been since the renovation, still reminds me of my youth, the train, water tables, and of course the excitement of being a kid!

Amanda Schmidt

They need to work on fixing their exhibits a lot faster

Robert Beattie

Great place to bring the kids. The staff are making a good effort to keep things clean and safe during the pandemic too. It would be nice to see it open more days of the week and not just Friday to Sunday though.

Nicole France

Great place to spend the afternoon as a family

Dustin Morrison

My kids love it there

joel Quintos

Great for kids parties.

JodiBernie Friesen

There are many great things about the Children's Museum. My four-year-old and 2.5-year-old really enjoy going a few times a winter. It is a bit price-y though, and a membership is definitely the way to go. I appreciate the openness, so kids can be at different attractions and I can still see them both. Also, lots of room for strollers. The lasagna climber is quite disappointing, though. Most preschoolers can't climb from level to level themselves, because each "step" is way too high. Plus there are no slides on the structure at all. While it is fun, I have been to children's museums in other cities that are much better for the same of less cost.

Kelly House

So wonderful! My 4 year old and 1.5 year old both had a blast!

Tolights Flores

Great for one-time visits. My daughter just finds the summer camps here boring as the activities are limited to craft works and they only have limited access to the museum itself. Not worth the money if you ask me.

Jermaine Anderson

a fun place for the kids

Allan Espiritu

My kid had lots of fun! He loves trains! He also had a blast at the water works section. It was a nice experience for our family. Four stars because it was a bit expensive.

ScottandDebbie Dick

So much fun in our class about water pollution and stirring our free play time at the facility!

Michaela Kokan

For a museum I thought there would be more learning worked into the fun, as a parent I don't feel like I learnt a thing nevermind the children. I recall being at the museum as a child and there was alot more to encourage pretend play, what happened ?

Lucas

Very clean and organized.

Stephen Chik

Don't forget they offer 3 hours parking at THE FORK parking lot, DON'T pay for your parking Go to the museum, get your ticket and redeem your parking from the ticket machine

Bangshoong

Kids loved it.

Stephanie Buckshot

My children had so much fun, they didn't want to leave. Definitely going back.

Gail Tolentino

Took my 1.5 old son here, he really enjoyed the water table, probably spent the most time there. Not a ton of exhibits, we still felt like he had a great time. Though he's a bit young to completely enjoy all the activities here but as other reviews were saying, this place is probably good for kids age 10 and under. Despite the challenges of COVID and having 2 of their exhibits closed and not all of the exhibits full functioning (to keep things safe and clean) we still had a great time. The space was not crowded, plenty of room and most of all we felt the place was very clean. Only thing I wish I knew in advance was that we paid for parking at the forks and it turns out if you pay for admission here, they validate parking for 3 hours... a couple bucks could have been saved but I'll know for next time!

David

The museum has a total of about 8 exhibits of which only 2 that kids older than 5 will find interesting. At $11 it is waaaay over priced. $4 would be a reasonable price for the few exhibits.

Michael K

Fun for kids of all ages.

Vince Carter

Realistic Dino scares my kids ..

Matt Zhang

Nice to let kids have fun here

Julian Kenny

The children's museum is an awesome place! Was here for my brother's birthday. We had the whole placed to ourselves. So much fun stuff to do and everything is interactive. Will definitely recommend this place to others for birthday parties.

Joey Deschambault

My kids loved spending the afternoon in the Manitoba Children's Museum. Many different areas for kids of all ages to explore. We'll thought out and interesting exhibits.

Kerry Downey

My granddaughter and family loved it. My wife and I have taken our sons to the museum in the past. It's nice to pass this along to the next-generation. The forks are always an experience.

Kuldeep Singh

Very nice place to visit with kids.... must do it

Ryan Forty

Boring but fun for the kids

Ajay Kukreja

Amazing for kids all ages. Loved it.

Jesse Quesnel

Great place to spend an afternoon, go with your toddler when the bigger kids are in school and it's not very busy at all.

Marina Havard (Marishinka)

My kids love it even my 11 year old. My Autistic son who is 8 year old loves the sensory days (haven’t had one in ages), hoping they start soon. He loved the trains and everything. We miss this special event and hope the museum brings it back. We are starved for activities especially during the winter.

DAMJJM45

Great place to do a school trip

Jeremy Mathison

Had our sons birthday here, it turned out fantastic 32 kids, all went home exhausted..

Jordan Kroeger

So fun!

Cindy Swain

Great fun for the children!

Jamie C

Kids seemed to enjoy it, although the play structure could've been a little more toddler friendly...

Arnel Ordonez

Plenty of things for the kids to do. Definitely not to a museum.

Lawrence B Erdile (Lawrence)

You're never too old. Take a kid or two

Josh Cheater

Great place to take kids of all ages. Admission is reasonable and there are lots of things for kids to do.

Felonius Gru

Didn't see any children

Karen Baker

Large space multiple fun activities. Good for pre school children. Could have another major activity for younger children, but fully occupied for multiple hours.

Xueling Gong

My 3 yr old always wants to come, I mean ALWAYS:)

Esther

After went to this place, I really want to be a child again, and I didn't expect there is such a nice place in here for kids, clean and bright, full of meaningful and educational activities /toys, so much stuffs for children to touch and feel it, I love the water area and the cow blowing things, so much fun!!! Easy access, just go to the forks and you will see it=)

Hiwu Deng

It is every fun for chilren

Ehsan Zeynali

It is a great place for children with family. Everyone can spend many hours there while childen enjoy playing and learn many things. Keep in mind bring your own food, there is no restaurant or snacks there.

David Benchimol

great please plenty attraction and they have a real full size train kids love that

Grant Kummen

Lots and lots of open space. I feel like they could have thrown a few more exhibits in here, maybe something for the older children. What was there was great. My little guy loved the water board, the slide and the mighty machine. I loved the included parking.

Ansel Vyrauen

my 2 year old loves this place, it is a bit pricey for a family of 4.

Ðeathfathem

Fantastic place for kids to play and learn! Very well priced.

bur lapper

It's okay if you're a young child I guess for adults not much there they haven't upgraded or changed anything and a while.

Ed Upton

Always a fun time with the kids. There's such a variety of things for them to do, from art to puzzles to physical challenges. There's something for everyone.

Shane Menzies

Such a great place for kids to play. Had my 10 month old and 2 year old. There is a place for newborns and lots of stuff for toddlers. Some areas were closed and no food or drinks due to covid however.

Jessica Bergen

Such a fun place to take children. So many creative and unique play and exploration stations. Spent an afternoon here and my toddler was interested the whole time. Our favorite station was the illusion slide and I think he would have gone on it until the place closed if I'd let him!

Daniel Bean

Hasn't changed much in many many years but fun time regardless, especially the backhoe!

Vicki Waldner

Great place to take your kids..aged about 10 and under. Loved the Louis Riel Day themed snack of croissants but didn't love the notice on our windshield giving us a warning despite being told it was free 3 hour parking. The museum staff were patient, helpful and friendly, the stations were well maintained and clean and it wasn't overly crowded despite being a holiday.

Susan Oakley

Great place for the kids, and adults! :)

Dave Kachanoski

Kids love it.

Gurpreet Bansal

Nice Place

Steve Langridge

So much fun. The kids loved it. Our 2 girls aged 5 and 9 had so much fun exploring all of the childrens museum while visiting Winnipeg on our family vacation. I'd reccomend this spot if you need something to do with the kids one afternoon. The nearby Forks market had a bunch of great spots for a bite to eat and some souvenir shopping. We'll likely be back next time we are in the area.

Anne Baetsen

A great place for kids to have fun with discovery and learning ..

Angel Peterson

Fun for kids, but they have removed some of the really cool areas that they used to have. I like the addition of the toddler area.

Nostromo 02

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! my only problem is that I miss some of the old play areas the old place had, but I am happy with the new place non the less????

Shayla

Great place to visit with your kids ????

Thierry Keller

absolutely NOT a museum

Al Blacklaw

My kids absolutely love this place. Very friendly staff.

Melissa Horeczy

Can't wait until they add even more!

Craig Johnston

Great for kids Birthday Parties

Darren Hogger

What kind of museum advertises itself as a "children's museum" when there's no children on display??

Chris McIvor

Good fun, I was there for an event and they took care of parking as well.

Miguel Velasco

Great place to take your kids to unleash the mayhem. Right on the forks with so many other activities and restaurants. Loved it.

Marlon Richards

Great for kids to burn some energy & learn a thing or 2.

Alla Starcheusova

Love it. Lots of activities and crafts for all ages

Steve Silver

Amazing resource in our city. If your kid needs somewhere to burn off energy, this is the place to do it. Plenty of activities to keep them interested time and time again, plenty of space for them to run around and have fun safely. Most importantly right now, strong protocols to keep the facility safe and clean and you and your kids healthy and safe. We have a membership here and have got our money's worth 10 times over with ease.

Grant Clark

Great place to take the kids, lots of fun activities to do. The museum will validate your parking for up to 3 hours at The Forks. all you need to do is go in and buy your tickets and tell them your license plate and they will put it into the system.

mardan magill

I am giving this Museum 5 Stars because I’m almost 40 and I still remember how much I loved going there as a kid in the late 1980’s!!! I haven’t lived in Winnipeg since 1990 and I still remember and it’s still there!! That tells you something ????????????

Andriy Kravchenko

If you ever visited a sci-pop museum for kids, don’t waste time at this place. This is not a museum at all, it is rather a bit larger playground.

Dan

A great place to take the kids for an afternoon. It's more of a science center than a museum - all about discovery and thinking about the way the world works. Great experience.

trista donald

Terrific! I wasn't sure it would still be good for my 18 month old, but she loved it. Super fun!

Sierra the Lion

Was fun, my kids enjoyed it.

Anita Agbo

Great place for a family fun getaway. Lots of activities to keep kids engaged and entertained. Great for kids from 6months-10years

Ruhv S L

Always fun for my kids, and complimentary 3 hour parking at the forks makes trips easy and convenient! Awesome to have the whole museum to ourselves on weekdays. My kids love everything about the museum

Very enjoyable for my little cousin

Rene St-Hilaire

Complimentary 3 hour parking is available for visitors to the Children's museum which is welcome. Ask the staff at the front desk how to register your vehicle license plate.

Jordan Barnsley

Oh my word. My 2 year old loved this place with all of his heart. He ran around for a solid 2 hours and we had one heck of a time trying to get him out for nap time. Very neat stuff to look at and play with, even my partner and I had a great time exploring the train, figuring out which hole the fluff ball was going to come out of, even the water science area.

Ashley

We took out 2 and 4 year old daughters here and they loved it! Everything is interactive and there is lots of things to learn about. Our favorite was the giant water table. The price was very reasonable. We'll definitely be back!

Bertha Ethier

Fun for toddlers and grade school kids. Almost missed the cow exhibit because it was behind a wall. And same with the tape slide exhibit

Nathan Wright

Every time I have been it seems the biggest challenge is to find more than two things that are actually functioning properly.

Sameer Kamal

So educational!

B Z

My daughter love the place and didn't want to leave until completely fall asleep.

Logan Howlett

My childhood.

Keith Bloodworth

Such a wonderful place to tack any child for thr day. All children should be given access to it 365 days a year.

rich b

Great place for young children (babies up to maybe the age of 8) to explore and run around

Dallas Moman

Didn't find it much more expensive than going to sit through a movie. And it was very nicely layed out. I haven't seen anywhere else you can take kids to that would keep them more entertained. Although we had a 4 year old with us

Jude Gosselin

My kids love it.

Jeffery Doyle

Less of a museum and more of a playground. Still fun for children though. Not sure why parents are being charged to be there given the draw is for kids, but i digress.

Melody

Perfect place for kids, they will enjoy all the activities, they have something for all ages, kids will enjoy and also adults. We’ve been here lots of times and still planning to visit every year.

Glenda Ferguson

Great place to entertain kids!!

Jordan James

Great place to keep the kids busy for a couple hours, little pricey though

Viviana Guerrero

Cool place to have fun with children.

Sami

Good for young kids.

Alan Hendren

Nice place. Kinda small not a whole lot to do for kids. I'd recommend kids 2-12ish they would enjoy it.

Kim

Lots of variety, and the birthday party was a success

Bryan Solan

There's not a huge variety of exhibits ( if that's the right word) but what's there is great.

Jean Archambault

Great playground for kids. Many diverse activities available. Complimentary 3 hours parking with fnp. I would have gave a perfect note if there wasn't broken items on display.

Jennie Nazimov

Great place for kids to spend.

Elham Pourtaherian

It’s so much fun for kids and adults. Children see science while playing. My child stopped on each station for a long time. And came back home very happy and satisfied. …

Cody Nowell

Expensive - honestly underwhelming. Few activities for the cost, wasn't really a lot of learning opportunities considering it's a museum for kids.

Martijn van Luijn

We love this place and often go when we visit the city.

Jeanette Ryerson

Excellent play and stimulation for both my boys aged 10 & 4. Although my oldest was able to get through everything fairly quickly he very much enjoyed showing his brother through everything too. We spent 3 hours but could've spent longer if we had more time.

Roland Gallinera

Been going there annuall with my kids for more than 5 years... not really looking forward to it anymore.. they should put new things there as it is becoming dated considering there are lots of modern stuffs like voice automation, robotics and interactive games they can add. They had some kinect projector before and kids enjoyed that..

MK

Nice place to take any age of children. Love the imagine center to build the crafts. The water table is amazing but highly suggest bringing a change of clothes just incase.

Francisco Alvarado

Almost everything is restricted. Which is OK due to covid but they should warn before

Bailey Tuckett

Complete disappointment and a waste of time and money. Too many kids and not enough to do. Insanely over priced. As an adult I should not be charged the same amount as my child to go to a children's museum. The lasagna play structure is too tall for children to get from level to level and therefore is just a big tease for most children. The musical area has a piano and a big metal ball to hit. And that's all. The digital art table didn't work. The building block tables are too high for smaller children to play with. The water table is small and terribly unimpressive. The vacuum tubes with wool balls can only have 3 kids playing at a time. The 'time section' is a major waste of space since there isn't a single activity to do in it. The train is just a boring place to sit. This museum has more places to sit and read to your child than any library I've been to. I can do that at home for free, thank you. I will never bring my family back here. With parking, a locker and the entrance fee we paid $40 for a family of 3 to spend less than an hour doing nothing. Extremely unimpressed to say the least. Thanks for a huge waste Winnipeg.

Alexander Trauzzi

There's a lot of wasted space in between large, mostly visual activities. Nothing is engaging enough to hold the attention of both my kids or any others my wife and I see while there. As someone who remembers the old Children's Museum, there's just not enough interactivity or dynamism to the displays. It all seems designed so that they can just spray the place down at the end of the day. The broken piano is just frustrating and gimmicky the cow display seems out of place and spends most of the time abandoned. The train just has books and takes up a huge amount of space for such a low energy activity. All in all, I'd say more supporting stimulus, interactivity and even objectives would make this a better place.

Brian Jajam

This Place is boring and expensive. Why do they charge so much for adults. Adults are there to watch kids so they should encourage more adults by lowering the price for them.

Reynold Fast

Kids love climbing in the lasagna

gregg osmond

Love the place for my kidos...

Roze Calingo

My son really enjoyed this place! We might come back soon

John David Pankratz

So many things to do. Every week it's a new experience.

Bon Maraneta

Great place for kids

Corinne Lamotte

A shout out to the Manitoba Children's museum! I put in an online order from their online gift shop and it was delivered to my front door by an employee in less then 48hrs. If you are looking for some kids toys and activities for Christmas they have a decent selection, I definitely recommend to take a look. They even added several printed activity sheets for the kids. Shop local!

RICK H

Have so much fun

Pablo Listingart

Small and AWESOME museum to come with your kids. Used to be cleaner and some parts are now closed to accomodate more birthday parties. It used to he better place, but still a nice place to play.

zombie muffin

Great day to spend and afternoon as a family. Good location at the forks. Beautiful view and lots of choices for food in the food court.

JP R

Get ready for chasing your kid around for a couple of hours and kids yelling in the background. Bring headphones or music. The tube vacuum was cool. Then deal with crying kid that doesnt want to leave. Fun for the whole family!

Natasha Evans

Great place of learning and fun for children!

Gracedoucette

Lots of hours spent away by kids!

Ben Stouffer

Great little museum best for kids 2 and up.

Abhijot kaur Chohan

Very nice place ????????

Kristine

Tons of fun for the kids. A little on the pricey side for a larger family. But still worth the experience

J R

No longer worth the cost of entry. We loved the old galleries for being interactive and educational while encouraging creative play and exploration; the layout now is frankly boring and has little to engage us for more than about thirty minutes (unless you count the water table; we did the whole place in the first half hour and then spent an hour and a half just splashing and pouring. Could've just run her a bath.)

Jocelyn Grewal

Excellent fun. We had a 9, 8, 6 and 5 year old engaged for hours! Only issue we had was with other kids starting a boys fight group on the top of the climbing structure completely eliminating the structure for play time due to the punching and jump kicks. Lol they were warned by staff multiple times. So it was good to see accountability on behalf of staff when parents authority seems to be absent.

FREDDIE MERCURY

Small, but it's very good

Rebecca Bilsky

Wonderful birthday party for our son today. Great venue, great host, great activities. Thank you for a fantastic day.

Alice Teufack

Kids love it! Hours of entertainment

Christian Clavelle

Kids absolutely love it :)

Edmund O'Connor

Not really a museum in the traditional sense of the word. It has a full-size Canadian Pacific locomotive that is fully accessible for kids. My eldest wanted to live there, I think. Lots and lots of interactive displays - kids can build their own skyscraper, and there is a neat logic gate puzzle on the making of milk. *Extremely* popular with school groups and daycares.

scott rowe

Pricey for the whole family to go. Craft station is good entertainment. 3 year old was bored and ready to go after 3 hours.

TheGingerPhill Oegema

Our son loved the train! The other things were neat, but the train was the highlight

Brennen Bilyk

Kids always have a good. Good place on cold winter days.

Jordan Steel

Very fun. One large room with several different exhibits and hands on activities. Kids had a great time.

Ducky Playz

The kids had a great time, lots of activities that are all spaced out so well. The staff are friendly and involved and ask the kids to try different activities. I was very impressed with the young staff members working over summer on the weekend.

Karl Bruggeman

Excellent spade for kids to run around and play. Not sure exactly why it's called a museum, but my son definitely had a lot of fun.

Aubrey Ramos - Beebe

Awesome interactive things for kids :)

Billy Sena

Fun and educational

Darrin Gabel

Very good place to spend a few hours with the kids. We go once a year. Educational and interactive fun for the children and adults too. I give it a 4 because it seems like there could be a little more clarity on some of the displays for education though the kids dont seem to share that concern. Also it's not a very big museum in comparison to most museums so it tends to get crowded fairly quickly. But over all it is a great place to visit during the quieter hours and very affordable. Plus it's at the forks so theres all kinds of scenery and other activities literally walking distance away

Pavel Shumarov

Very good place. 2hours would be suffice to explore everything.

Ikrom Sardalov

My kids loved it! Highly recommended.

Chill Ruv

Great place for younger kids with lots to do. Make sure you phone ahead to see how many school groups are here first though for a more enjoyable time. 3.5 stars

Scott Kuczkowski

This is a good place for the kiddos to run around and burn off some energy. It is less a museum and more of an indoor playground.

Ashley

We took out 2 and 4 year old daughters here and they loved it! Everything is interactive and there is lots of things to learn about. Our favorite was the giant water table. The price was very reasonable. We'll definitely be back!

Wade Fisher

Truly an amazing place for the kiddos. Hrs spent burning off energy in a safe educational space. Clean, lota of choices for adventures with amazing staff.great place to plan a birthday party, with plenty of space.

Dave Fjeldsted

Great place for kids. I was here for a 4 year old's birthday party and was impressed with the facility and all the interactive displays that makes learning fun and keeps kids of all ages occupied for hours. The birthday party packages are very reasonably priced and they have several private rooms to hold your own private celebration. I would highly recommend visiting here.

Therese Brown

Such a great place for parties!

Boss Bosma

Lots a fun for kids but expensive for adults just bring kids

Chris Bowser

Kids had a blast at a bday party there

Keith Gozon

Lovely place to play. Especially during winter.

Sean Lewkiw

Great place for the kids! Clean and fun with all displays working.

Cory Parks

My kids had a lot of fun. It's a great place to spend a few hours at. Great learning experiences as well

Stevo Dawson

Wonderful interactive children's learning center.

Deborah Seymour

This was a fab place for my grandson 5th Birthday.

BULLY TV

Fun for kids

Kristina Ennis

Great place to bring a young child for hands on fun. More like an inside playground than a museum. Woi not bring children over eight. Fine for toddlers.

Ted V

Beautiful place. The kids love it.

Terry Peristerakis

For the price we both paid to go in, while the exhibits they do have are nice, there is not a lot there for kids to play with. The water table set up was pretty cool, and my son loved the slide and the mellow marsh area, with the bird sounds. But aside from this he didn't really play with much else. I had to pay to go in and follow him around. I think I just expected it to be a bit larger and have more things to do. The free parking was nice, but I feel like Hide and Seek, would give him more to run around ad play with for half the price. That being said. Interesting to check out maybe once or twice a year.

Len Bauer

The kids will wear you out.

Evan Beaupre

Seems like the place isn't as fun as it was 15-18 years ago still pretty cool but yeah not what I expected

L K

More of a discovery centre than museum ... my toddler loved it!

Justin Schaeffer

If you have kids and live downtown, then membership at the Children's Museum is essential to life. The value is great as you only need to visit ~4x/year to break even. They're open almost every day, including long weekends, with the exception of Christmas Day and around Labour day, which makes it an excellent place to take the kids to burn off some energy. The best time to visit is right when they first open so the kids practically have the whole museum to themselves!

Daniel Kokan

All the new exhibits are great - my daughter loves running around and playing. There's ample locker space and free lockers - I've never been worried about anything going missing. The staff are friendly and they have activities at the front for the kids. We visit here frequently in the morning - it's never too crowded and there's lots to keep kids entertained.

Amanda Cyr

Good place to go on really cold days and you want to do something with your kids!!!

Zid Dong

A wonderful place for fun while learning! My kids loved it! As of their age gap, it conveniently served them both. The price is affordable and you could even go back and forth for the whole day! How awesome is that! The place is clean and well ventilated. Would go back again and highly recommended.

Chris Dow

Excellent exhibits. My oldest didnt know which one to visit first. Nice 2 years and under area as well.

Katie Dumoulin

Awesome fun for kids of all ages.

Saneesh Sasidharan

Nice place.. Kids can enjoy for few hours... Only thing disappointed me that there is absolutely nothing for adults but they charge for each and every person get in

Krystle Roziere

Kids always have a ton of fun here but wish adults didn't have to pay with paying child as it does get quite expensive

Maria Ocampo

Great place for kids to run around while learning science

Alcock Lake

If you've got kids and haven't been there..well you should.... its awesome

Connie Momotiuk

Enjoy for children

Los Hinojos

Small but great

Ryan Currens

Absolutely awesome place! Our three boys loved it and with all the different things to do you can be busy for hours!

Candice Boone

I took my two year old. We loved the big water table and the vacuum tubes. It gets noisy and in crowded after awhile. Be ready to chase the kiddies and they won't want to leave. Pack a light lunch as not much is offered for purchase unless you want to venture to the forks make and back.

David Rabsch

A fantastic place to spend a few hours or the whole day with the family. There are plenty of areas for kids to explore and play in a safe way. Then there's the craft area where they can exercise their creativity once they've tired of running around. We were there for a birthday party which was great as it had a large room for presents and cake, and had a couple staff come in and help the kids make slime. Then it was a free for all in the rest of the museum. If you have kids from 2-12 it's a great place to take them to burn off some energy -- especially when the weather is less than ideal for outdoor activities.

Donna Peterson

We took a group of kindergarten children for a fieldtrip. One of our boys is in a wheelchair. Although the museum is wheelchair accessible it is not 100% accessible throughout the facility

Ian Cook

Fun for about an hour. Over priced for what it is, but kids had a great time.

Zelko Krtalic

Fun for the whole family

Qais Syed

Great place for kids.. my kids enjoyed it. Pricing could have been lesser. I felt it was over priced.

Stephan Harris

Cool place, kids love it. Kind of lack luster when no events are going on.

Marc Archambault

More an indoor playground than a museum.

Mel D

Great for preschool aged kids

Eric Johns

Great time for all ages.

Kjerni Kjernisted

Half the stuff doesn't work. Adults and children pay some $11 each? ...for what? ...all those adult-oriented areas??? You'd be better off going to one of the kid's play zones around the city for $6ish for kids, and free for adults

Vance Masters

My 5 year old loves this place

Marg McGillis

Unbelievable. Had a great time. Grandkids love it. Amazing place ! Would encourage everyone to go if they have the chance

Erica Marinou

Parking is absolutely awful!!!! Facility itself is great my son loves it

Julia Florek

We took our 10 month old, and he had a blast! There were some things that were a little too old for him (climbing things were too high and designed for older kids) but there were also areas designed for his age group. He had a great time exploring!

Daniel Boyer

Great place to spend a couple of hours with the kids. Lots of activities specially in the warmer months as once done inside you can continue the experience outside. Parking cost is covered with your admission.

Brian Howe

Great place for kids. Took my four nieces and nephews, who all thoroughly enjoyed spending 4 hours at the museum!

logan goodz

Had a great time with my nephew

Tim Haines

This place is garbage. I'm 27 and when I was a kid it was a blast. There is nothing to do what so ever. The water table sucks the train has nothing in it but tables for reading. I am at a museum not a library. My son is 1.5 years and he has nothing to do. The worst part is the outrageous cost. For two adults and my son it was $34.00. I don't see how we should all be $11.00 to enter. Im there to walk around and supervise my kid why is my admission so much. More importantly why do you break your prices down by adult and kids over 1. It's all $11.00. Than if you want to rent a locker it's a dollar that's not refundable why wouldn't it be 25 cents that you get back like everywhere else. Just a money grab with no entertainment what so ever. I'm very disappointed in the staff they stand around looking depressed and useless. Noone told you to work there if your going to be miserable don't work around kids. One guy had some cups set up like bowling pins with some rubber balls. My kid went to go use the ball and he grabbed it quick I guess so he didn't have to fix the cups after. I was about to use him as the ball. What a goof!. I will never return and I will make sure all my friends and family with kids don't even bother. Kids city might be small but so much better for the kids and it cost the three of us nine dollars with a locker. That's less than ONE admission at the museum. Just shut this dump down. It amazes me how brutal winnipeg is sometimes.

DJ QUBE

wonderful displays.. always one of my favourite spots as a kid

Hammad Harmer

Took a 2 year old to the museum based on recommendations from family. Well worth the visit. Paid $11.00 per person (even child). Worth the money as hours of activities are available along with complimentary parking for 3 hours. They will extend the parking for you if you ask. The staff were super kind to the children. The staff were always around cleaning up fallen toys and moping the floors in the water area. The water area was complimentary smocks to save clothes in many sizes. Each area is large enough without causing crowding. Some areas are specifically designated for the younger children 2 and under. Bring comfy shoes as children are on the move. For the parents many benches are scattered throughout so that children can be in view without hovering over them.

Sarajane Graham

Great place to bring small children & family

Diane Kroeker

We love visiting the children's museum and it has a great group rate ($4 per kid and adults free). The slide, train, and backhoe are the favourites for my children. I'd like to see more added to the museum or a few changes every year. Bring back the vw Beatle car from my childhood. Great for age 2-7 but older kids get bored easily.

marc coulombe

Great place for young, mobile kids. Bring a change of clothes though as the water area is very popular and it's impossible to keep the little ones dry.

Robert Urquhart

Lots of activities for kids and a large indoor play structure

Kim Picton

I guess it's ok but there really is like nothing there

Jose G

My kids love this place. Cost about 60 dollars for a family of 5. Museum was at capacity at 2 on Saturday. Would like to see some new things as they haven't changed much over the past 5 years.

Sommer Bousquet

It's a safe environment to let children run around in.

Jamie McEwan

Loved coming here with family. Lots of engaging things for kids to do.

Mariel tylim

Great place

Chris Graham

Pretty fun and hands-on, even some good exercise with the current installations. Don't expect to learn much. Our eldest was considered too big for the main play structure, and our youngest a little small to go in by herself, but there was still enough to keep them occupied and enthusiastic for an hour or two.

Marlena Muir

Loads of educational and interactive displays/ climbing apparatuses, BUT very busy on weekends and difficult for young children to maneuver due to the "free range" exploration style (lots of other kids busy exploring/playing), would recommend going during the week to allow for a full immersion.

Katie Helgason

Great for kids birthday parties!

Desiree Bouchard

My husband and I took our niece here for the first time today and we had such a blast. The layout is fantastic and the different galleries are very well thought out. We will definitely be bringing our niece back here!

E Thompson

It was nice to go on a week day. It was not busy at all, I'm not sure about the weekends. I felt comforted by the fact that I constantly saw staff walking around cleaning. I was a little disappointed there was nothing in the temporary gallery. Some kids still.got too close to my kids, but they are kids. I would take them there again on an in-service day. The regular installments are varied enough to keep my 5 and 8yo busy for 2.5 hours.

Daniel Dudar

Lots of fun for all ages

Ted Claeys

My kids loved it their was tons of fun. lots to do even for the adults well laid out and plenty of staff to assist.

ashley logan

Love taking our kids to the museum. Great activities, everything's always in working order. Very clean and nice staff

Femi Oderinle

Awesome. Good environment for kids with other nearby attraction. Located inside the Forks

Erica Luan

A kind reminder: We went today after paying for parking and when we were checking in we were told they actually offer 3 hours free parking. So maybe fo check in before you pay for parking.

Chris Lamb

Great time for kids and parents that like to play. Fantastic place for fun and has opportunity for learning if you choose to teach with the different stations.

Raymond Lekcharoen

Very entertaining for kids

luis Martinez

good place to interact

david Henfrey

Ok kids 6 and 4 were finished and bored in about 1 hr

A M

Kids had a lot of fun

Lindsey Henley

We got the Children's Museum Spark Box and I am SO IMPRESSED! Great crafts for the kids. My almost four year old LOVES the hydraulic press which was super easy to put together (for both of us). I highly recommend buying the spark box, just watch out for the pom pom popper ;)

Linda Schroeder

Great place for kids. Large variety of activities. Offers code for 3 free hours if parking.

Daniel Magal

The Kids had fun. Safe environment. The missing star is for not updating, they should change their elements from time to time (Once a year ...)

Kelly Hall

A great place for parents and kids to go explore, learn and spend some quality time together. Very clean, very friendly.

felix lee

I wish this place existed when I was a kid! There's an assortment of activities not found in many other children's museums: a real train, a mini bulldozer, model construction cranes, a food-themed climbing structure, and more. The museum is also a member of the Canadian science museums, so if you have a membership from another museum, check if you have reciprocal benefits for free admission!

Steve Jorritsma

Great place to take the Grandson.

Heather Allen

If you have young children and live in Winnipeg, a membership is definitely worth it. The water tables are always popular, and my children love going on imaginary journeys on the train. Lots of bathrooms, perfect for little children. Lots of room for having lunch or a snack there, and the gift shop carries a nice little selection of healthy snacks. When our kids were younger, we especially appreciated that there is a section for children under the age of 2, so they can play freely and safely.

Aaron Kostuik;

Not much to do here, old one was better

Brittany Ross

Lots of stuff for kids to do but I don't think adults should have to pay full price so they can stand around and be bored for hours. I'd rather go to Great Big Adventure where I can get in for free when I pay for my kids and then I can climb the structure and go down the slides with them. Not a bad place but if your budget is tight you might want to skip it.

Gillian Cancade

Very cool place with lots of things to explore.

ChaoticDNA

Great place for kids 0 to 7+. A real diesel train locomotive to explore, a play structure, water table, tower building and arts and crafts area to entertain them. 3 hours free parking to boot, which is plenty of time for kids to explore and play.

David G

Was here with my 3yr old and she has an amazing time each time we visit. Always sleeping on the way home

Lauren M

All in all, I really love this place. However, I still am not certain it's actually a museum. I didn't see anything "educational" there, but there is lots of activities for the kids to do and it is (mostly) wheelchair accessible. They have a little area designated for kids 2 and under, and everything else seems suitable for kids up to 10 or so. There is an optical illusion area with a slide, a water table area which is a big hit with all the kids, an arts and crafts area, a big play structure with tunnels and whatnot, the train that you can walk through that also has books and costumes for dress-up in the back, and an area where you can build towers with a remote controlled crane. Older children would most likely get bored easily. At most I think you could spend 3 hours here. It can get loud on a busy day, but it has an open feel to it and theres lots of places to sit. One complaint I have: Aside from the staff at the front desk and one or two doing rounds, there is no one around to help explain things, show you how to use something, or even enforce rules. I had an experience there a while ago when my daughter was almost 2, and some much older kids were running up the slide and one smacked into my daughter who was trying to go down. I had to be the one to tell them not to do that. Of course they didn't listen to me, and the adult with them ignored it and just stared blankly when I encouraged them to pay attention. Perhaps not so much the fault of the lack of staff, but of ignorant parents. At that moment I wish there had been an employee who could have helped me out though, which would make sense since it was totally packed with people. With all that said, your young child will have an absolute blast and I recommend visiting.

Sean Dolyniuk

I really don't understand why my kids always get excited about this place. It's ok; there are some fun things. It just doesn't seem all that to me. The kids love it, though. After all it is for the kids. Generally clean. Can have birthday parties here too. Parking isn't the greatest. Be prepared to walk, especially if going on the weekend and during special events at The Forks. Be prepared to pay for parking too.

Bren Hancock

This place is awesome for children. So creative and lots of interaction. Slightly pricey for what you get ($22) for my three year old and I.

T Will

Great place to visit to keep the little ones occupied for a morning or afternoon. Lots of different things to do

Don Steenson

Grandchildren had a wonderful time

Juliya Rezvukhina

It was a great birthday party!

Darren Desjardins

Great place for kids, lots of space with fun exhibits and its never been too busy

Dana Gallant

Friendly staff, crazy kids. Be prepared to run after your child as they go crazy.

Tasha P.

Went for the first time after the renovation. Expected more, but I am glad they kept the train.

Andrew Bellemare

Great place to bring your young children

Darlene Maywood

Great place for kids under 10.

Melissa Fitzsimmons

Hosted a 7th birthday here. The staff were great as well as the packages created to choose from. There's a good sized selection. The kids had a great time as well as the parents

J D

Great for kids

go ha

The mother had lots of fun????

Catherine Hewson

We hosted an awesome fun friend and family event and got rave reviews from our guests about what a great venue the museum was. The staff were fantastic and all the services we arranged were amazing!!

Brittany Harmer

This place is a waste of time. Came here to relive some old childhood memories they have changed everything and my kids were bored after half an hour. No imagination needed. This was the worst experience of my life. WILL NOT BE RETURNING.should have spent my money on the man and nature museum now that is a good time. Should have left the children's museum alone.

Linda Claydon

It's a fun place for children & adults!

Kal Friesen

My almost 3 years old loved it. The play structure is geared for older kids but she enjoyed the stuff you didn't have to climb to get to. Would rather go to hide and seek for that. The play area with the water was her favorite, even with the rain coats she still got a bit wet (so keep that in mind when packing to go when you are with younger kids). In general I'd say this is better for a bit older kids because there is more stuff for that age group. I'd agree with one of the other reviews I read that the crafts there would have been a bit advanced for my child.

Josett Steele

There really was so much to do. It certainly can't be done in one day. The kids really enjoyed everything including playing at the water play area. There are very educational and developmental engagements for the kids. The display of how the piano works. The area for painting and of all things to email your painting to yourself. The train, the craft area. Really a great place for family. The grounds is also beautiful, and has a sand pit with buckets and shovels for play.

Ramsey Zeid

Great place for kids

terry milani

Great place and reasonable prices

Michael Casaclang

Great place to burn off your child's excess energy especially in the winter months.

Maricar Gotiongco

Kids love it! For your info, you get 3 hours of free parking as guest of the museum. What you do is park first anywhere where there is paid parking at the Forks, even all the way to the Parkade or the MTYP areas. Then proceed to the Children's Museum. There is tablet there you can use to input your licence plate, after that you are good to go.

Tyler Hop

Covid ruined this place

Jessica Clark

Fun place to take kids. Very spacious and open, doesn't ever feel crowded.

Nadean Cuddeford

Was a bit disappointed but I think my expectations were too high. More geared towards younger families. My 6 yr old needed more activities her age.

John Morgan

Bit disappointed that there was not more for young children to do.

Valerie Voisin

We loved everything. Especially, the train

Matt Elston

Not much has changed in 30 years

Katharina Hill

Just very different from when I was a kid

Landon Gere

Can't go wrong bringing the family here. Always a hit for the youngsters!

Jonathon Barrios

My like guy had a lot of fun and discovery there.

Krista Lee

Not a museum, more like a play area. Almost nothing of real education. Not for kids under 3yo. There was lots of adults with no kids just sitting around, Creeped me out.

Tom Searles

All the children were excited with all the play areas. The slide was a popular one. Parking is covered in the price. Which we didn't know till we were paying.

Greg Carlos

A place to bring your kids and burn some energy

John Copeland

Garbage. Nothing worthwhile to do at all. Climbing structure that has too high levels for kids to climb so the thing is full of adults lifting their kids from level to level. Small water play area and vacuum shoots for woolen balls. Not much else worth mentioning and they charge not just for the child but also the accompanying adults. Ruddy rip off.

Susan Kuzel

Activities were fun...delightful !

Devon

Great place to let the kids burn off some energy during winter cold snaps. Lots to run and do for the little people. Indoor 3 story play structure(Food theme), water tables, a train engine and train cars for the kids to run around in and a lot more. Staff is always friendly and you get 3 hours of free parking to boot!

Dean K

Great place to bring your kids. I would suggest waiting until they are 2 yrs old, they will get more enjoyment out the museum.

Jason Smith

Kids really enjoyed it and thats what counts

Amy Fransen

So much fun for all ages! My 2 year old had a blast and so did his older cousins.

Lynn Duff

Good way to spend a few hours with a pre-schooler on a cold day. They have locks for rent, bring a quarter.

Jotaro Kuji

Very good location for kids. Lots of stuff for them to do. They do a very good job cleaning everything to make sure everything is sanitized

Ilya Kolomeyets

If you ever visited any other children's museum you will be disappointed. Here is just a playground like in any McDonald's for free. Very small and nothing at all worth looking at. I visited Calgary children's museum and another one in Indianapolis USA. After those awesome places this as just one huge disappointment.

Glen Duke

Had so much fun. Very interactive

stan haines

Thanks for running a program through the Autism Society .The staff at the Museum was very friendly and accommodating

Brad Young

My son loves this place. Also loves the day camps for summer vacation.

Mark Doctoroff

A Constantly expanding Museum, delighting kids! The Museum, now located in "The Forks" area, was created by a small group of dedicated people in 1983, moved in to its first building in 1986. It has had several major expansions-- the most recent being in 2011, when, on the 25th anniversary, twelve more galleries and a welcome centre were added to the existing 5 galleries. The expansions/additions have allowed it to continuing to meet the evolving interests of "children of all ages". The "interactive exhibits" certainly contribute to expanding children's "curiosity and creative impulses". The "welcome centre" also includes a Museum Shop and lunch room. I hope that this Review has been helpful.

Tiago Souza

Kids love to play there.

Sheena Brennan

My 2 year old had a blast! So many different activities for her to do

Morgan Thomas

AWESOME!! For kids all ages!

Lesley Richards

So much fun! My two year old had a blast! He absolutely loved all the exhibits.

Shelly Lauze

Over priced. Adults pay to watch children play a bit. Kid city is more fun.

Darryl Spence

I would take my kids her again

Farhana Thomas

It's a great place to bring your toddlers and preschoolers and spend an hour or two. I'm not convinced that older children (6+) will enjoy it as much.

Ron Simmonds

Too expensive for what they offer.

Joanne PH

Great place to spend time with kids but needs some changes to make it interesting for members.

Alex Kremnev

Great to spend some time with kids. Also near restaurants so you have have lunch without having to drive elsewhere. Kept our 3 year old busy all day so I would say it was worth it. Also has things that you can get into with your kids so it's good for some bonding time.

Lynetta W

Interesting and entertaining

Ashley D

My 6 year old son came here for their Spring Break Day Camp and absolutely loved it. He requested to be dropped off early to play freely in the museum before it was open to the public. The staff were phenomenal - always pleasant, friendly and helpful. A good variety for the week of activities. We will definitely do this again!

Alejandra Gonzalez

Nice place for kids!

Lorraine Essex

Kids enjoyed it alot

Ben Cedarberg

Difficult parking nearby in the Forks area. Good children's museum, similar to one's we've been too in other cities. Highlights and most unique galleries were the train engine and optical illusion area with slide.

Uju Nwogu

A lovely place for children

Russ Hildebrand

I find the adult admission price to be a little steep, and adding/changing activity centers periodically would be great. All in all, still a great place for kids to blow off steam!

Josh Lim

Great place to take the little ones at when you're in Winnipeg. Admission isn't that expensive and you can go in and out all you want when you buy it. There is also a park to explore nearby and not to mention the fork. They have plenty of stuff to do in their to keep the kids busy and the place is clean. Especially love the little water station!

dusty brass

Great place pass time with the kids.

Tina Bryant

My kids enjoy coming here so long as we don’t go too often. It loses stars because I don’t see why adults have to pay admission for something solely geared towards kids.

Karen Hoersch

Kids had a blast

April Ayotte

Great place to take the kids.

Munish Aggarwal

Very nice place for kids

b de

Good place for kids. Over charge on the adult admin

KingDarius Everett (Chris)

Too much money for very little

Kelly La

The staff there are nice and friendly and greet you as you walk in. They serve you nicely and always with a smile. It's a nice warm and welcoming place as you come in. Great place to bring your kids if you have any. They are bound to have a good time while spending their time there.

Luigi Viselli

It was awesome, for kids,adults and birthday parties

scottiblasto

Such a great place to take your kids! It is a little pricey, and I'd like to see the exhibits freshened up a little bit, but still a great place!

Maegan Dyck-Buchanan

Loved going there with my kids! My oldest loved to "science"

Tomasz Sobczak

It's ok,nothing special,free parking for three hours.

Ryan Toomer

Great time for kids, safe env to explore!

Joanne F

The kids love it every time.

Alex Dubya

Great place for all ages of children. So many different activities for all different kids, and wonderful place to have a party

Andy Thompson

It was nice museum for children.

Soroush Beheshti Zavareh

a very great place to take kids. I loved it. it was so fun and so many activities for children in different ages. it was very fun.

Ally Megaw

Great place to let the kids "run wild" & join in the fun. One of the many places at The Forks to visit for the day.

ken

Fun place to bring kids. They also offer 3 hour courtesy parking.

Glenn

Great place to bring kids and let them explore the slide, water table, train and play structure.

Jennifer Morris

My grandson loved the museum. So much to do to kerp a 3 year old entertained on a raony day

Sandhill Ridge Farm Brigitte Compton

Great for kids they loved it.

Darcy Mickall

Find the membership fees are way too expensive though.

Mel Rad

Lots of activities

Christine McInnis

Always lots of fun, can keep our toddler occupied for hours. Last time we were there the water table was low on balls though and it was a little frustrating for our guy.

Joshua Halvorson

It's a great place only problem is that it's not the same as it used to be Also it needs more things to do

graham thomson

Granddaughter loved the water stuff but there's not that many things to do

Andi McLeod

We went to a birthday party here and my daughter loved it!

Mindy Reimer

Great outing for the kids!!! Spent the entire day here and the kids loved it. So much to do!!!

Colin

Great place to learn and burn off energy. Highly recommended making it part of your forks visit.

Jasmine IA

Been here with my child on school field trips and had a good time Everytime we went

Schells Edde

It's not too much to do.

Darlene Searles

Very nice however I do feel ot is a bit pricey also you are informed when you are paying that parking is include but at that point it is already to late

Ann Gabs

My son is about 2 and a half. He loves the train there!

Conrado Nathaniel Penales

Not really sure if it is worth the price point, but my kids enjoyed it the times we have gone.

Helena N

My son will be 2 in April and has a blast. We go on Mondays for Mini Mondays, not a lot of people. They imply the craft and story is geared for toddlers, but I've yet to see a craft my kid could do. It's pretty pricey for a one off outing but if you think you may go 5 times in a year I would recommend the season pass! Season passes come with a one guest free entry (once) so that's an extra cost savings bonus.

James Buckley

Great place for kids!

T G

Not alot to do there anymore. Seemed over priced for what is offered. Staff was friendly. Parking was tough.

Nicholas s

Great place for kids to play

ANITA VERNAUS

Loved the Harley exhibit they had when we went a few years ago. My step son absolutely had a blast.

Joel Simard

Overpriced for what you get out of it. I've taken my kids here once a year for the last 4 years and nothing ever changes. Although they still enjoy it, everything is always the same. There is just nothing new to really spark their interests like seeing something new does to a kid.

Andrew Kryvko

Exciting place for children!

Travis Fischer

Great place for kids of all ages

Kathy G

The huge playstructure was closed for maintenance. It's very overpriced, no family/group pricing.

David Treloar

Fair bit to do a little over my 22 month olds head but he had lots of fun we will go back. Like all city things parking is difficult and expensive ????

Abeyshe

A pretty good indoor place for kids,specially un winter. Kids can have creative quiet time in the craft area, or have fun with water, go down the slide or play in the play structure. Many things to do here. Also the train was super cool!

Judy Newton

Wow, it was amazing. Grandson had a blast.

Jeni Brooke Eaton

Tons of fun for my kiddo.

Ashley Rodberg

Great for kids 7 and under but any older probably gonna be bored but the place was great for entertaining them lots to touch move climb slide ect, clean , but busy

Ivo Kohans

Great place for kids and if they come with friends even better. Very nice playground right beside museum. Recommended ????

Faiith Amara

Had so much fun but wish there was more for the kids we finished pretty quick

Mike Veldy

Way to expensive. Proly the last time we go.

Bucky Brau

For kids of all ages.

Michael Franklin

Parking lot was not great.

James Bernard

We had a really fun experience here. It was nice and wide open and safe, washrooms were clean and well looked after. Not many sections but very open and bright, lots of room for kids to run around. Theres a toddler section that was a very nice touch, as my son is only 1yr old. The only down side is parking, but that's an issue with the forks in general as it's so popular and busy. You can sit down and have lunch if youd like, nice places to sit and eat. Very clean and tidy, well looked after again. Big place to put your coats, and you can use a locker if youd like as well. Overall great experience.

j mck

It is a bit expensive for a family of any size. More for kids under 10 I would say.

Max CHABANE

Nice place for kids but I think parents should not pay just to watch their kids. Plus, since paying why there’s no wifi for parents ?

Jeff Hall

Lots of things for little ones to do. I loved the train.

Natalee Wilson

Hours of fun for the little ones.

Jin Huang

Chose Assiniboine park instead of this place...

Devon Dyck

Awesome place for kids of all ages. Will come back again and again

Aurelle Goodmanson

Great place for a birthday party!

Tyler De Jong

Pretty good. Thought it would be a bit bigger but the kids had a blast

Satwinder Singh

Very good
