Terry Proveau

Just walked around the boats, did not buy museum pass so not sure how the boats are inside

Danny Couch

Visited here with my girlfriend in 2015; very cool place. All the ships and boats are on land; you can tour inside them. It has a lot of Canadian historic ships, and related marine items. Recommend this museum for all ages.

Boats need a repaint. But beautiful property

Great place to visit. Manitoba marine history for us to enjoy. I remember fishing out of one of the portholes on the SS Kenora as we traveled to hecla island and back on a weekend trip with my family. Well worth a visit with the kids .

David Wiebe

Grandkids loved exploring and getting into all the books and crannies of the boats. Great time!

chirag patel

Not that much attractive.

Petrus Josephus

Such a low price to see the inside and out of several vessels. Big and small, old and fairly new. Lots to see.

An interesting history of the marine life on the Red River and lake Winnipeg. Worth taking a trip to Selkirk to see some unique history.

Aiden McLean

It is so cool to see all the ships and at Halloween they have this awesome haunted ship thing and it's just so good.

Lots of history there

Russell Watts

Neat old River/lake Winnipeg boats, note small children could get into trouble if you don't keep them close.

Low Budget Hunter

Call for hours before going

Great place to learn about local history, plenty of parking, great place for families

Michael Yutong Chang

(Translated) Occasionally found this museum, a great experience, so close and so real contact with the history of the Red River and Lake Winnipeg ships and shipping. These boats and exhibits are kept in perfect condition and are within reach, allowing children to have a sense of "temperature" in Canadian ships and shipping! (Original) 偶然的发现这个博物馆，非常棒的体验，可以如此近距离，也如此真实的接触红河及温尼伯湖船舶与航运的历史。这些船和展品保存的非常完好，触手可及，可以让孩子对加拿大船舶及航运有“温度”的感知和认识！

Michael Thompson

This is an amazing piece of Manitoba and Canadian history. The artifacts and ships all in great condition and self guiding tour is wonderful. For so much history along the river and formation of our province you see very little advertising and promotion of this site. Our son had a great time seeing everything and I enjoyed reading the history. Strange schools don't do tours here. Affordable for a family and nice drive to do something on the weekend. Glad we did it. My thanks to all the hard working volunteers who do an incredible job restoring the ships.

Colleen Okrainec

Well who knew of this place tucked in the North East of Selkirk Manitoba. I heard the boats were land docked but where. Pretty cool to walk along them & read of the past history of these amazing boats on the Red River & Lake Winnipeg. Further into Selkirk Park is camping, swimming & rodeo site. It’s a well kept up park and I will most definitely be going back. August 21, 2020: I had the opportunity to go back to the marine museum. This time with my daughter, her boyfriend & my mum. It was a beautiful afternoon exploring the boats and inside. So much to see, read with lasting memories. The rooms were not overly large. Was nice to go back in time.

Albert Riezebos

Lots of history!

Jared Blight

Always fun visiting

Gordon Chamberlain

Even though it was closed for the season we still enjoyed ourselves. The kids had fun running around and there is a lot of cool history on the plaques below the boats.

Ali Hashmi

Very nice place to visit

Barry G Houle

We were unable to enter the ship's because of covid

Abir Chowdhury

Great place to visit. Next to the river so you can go for a brisk walk and have a look at the museum.

Gie Pineda

I haven't been inside those ships but i enjoyed strolling along the park and seeing those old and historic vessels. Nice background for selfies n photography subjects.

Walter Noel

Interesting place to visit, if your interested in old boats that were used on manitoba lakes.

Jayme Prochner

Nice play to walk. Can walk your dog as well. Have doggy bags posts as well, just in case an unexpected #2 happens.

Andrey Sigurnjak

Was si eager to check it out , however they don't take interac payment . It is 21st century , electronic means of payment are generally wuite popular .

David Phillips

The kids went nuts when they saw all the big boats out of the water! Adults $6.50, family $19, kids under 5 free. Was worth the money! Spent about 2 hours just running through the boats checking everything out. Some of the cabins are rooms are really nice and neat to see how luscious it can be on the river. Well worth a stop while you're in Selkirk.

Melody Friesen

A really neat place to visit. There are tons of artifacts and history that you can learn here. A great place to visit with Children!

Travis Zimmer

Cool museum with many cool boats, Not recommend for taller people

Charee Doherty

ABSOLUTLY AMAZING 10/5 will go again

Chantelle Howard

Was awesome ..my kids loved it !!

Bianca Devins

A unique museum experience. Explore boots that let you get up close with marine history. The admission fee is very reasonable and worth it for a different kind of experience.

Estatta Lu

Great opportunity to see the real old boats from the inside, how they are built, some marine stuff and tools

Jakob Hill

First time visiting in over a decade. The boats are well preserved, and are filled with artifacts and information about Manitoba's marine history. At the time of my visit some exhibits on the Keenora were being renovated, and others were blocked off due to COVID. It's probably worth noting that there's lots of steps, ladders, low ceilings and narrow passageways, so probably not the best destination for folks with mobility issues. Also the museum may be hard to find if you're not from the area. Overall, a definite must-see for history buffs, and worth checking out if you're headed to the lake.

John Lockett

a nice place to see

Luke Sterzer

We went here for the Halloween Haunt and it was lots of fun. The actors were all great and the costumes and set were pretty scary. Very well done!

It was so cool

Jeff Stoehler (yourfavoritedj)

Interesting vessels and engines to look over. Clean pleasant surroundings.

Norma Prince

Awesome

Karl Baxter

The purser's letter to the passengers is a real cornerstone to this museum. This place is a real testament to the continued care of the people who love it. I enjoyed it entirely. An unrushed adventure through time.

Pablo Listingart

Really nice small museum. My kids enjoyed walking on the 6 ships. Each boat is different and it is quite interesting. In some boats you have information signs that tell the story about how the boats were used and where. Masks are mandatory inside and outside though we found a couple of people who decided to break the rules.

kram uriqz

Nice place

Biff Beltsander

Wonderful way to spend the day. Kids and adults who love self guided tours will love this beautiful museum full of Manitoba and nautical history. After that you can spend the rest of the afternoon in the park next door.

Alexey Aronov

Great museum

Jessy Mahoney

Cool museum

Darrell English

Drove up from Winnipeg to visit the "Halloween Haunts" display. A good opportunity to support the museum in it's efforts to maintain and protect these important ties to our past.

Robindeep Singh

Wonderful place. Can be seen how well maintained place it is.

Bryan Telford

There are alot of interesting things to see.It wasn't open ,but it's a great walk around.

Very nice

Greg “Bigdaddy” McCorrister

Very interesting place of history

Darlene Dyck

Good history od vessels.

Brodie

Super cool place, but we didn't look online ahead of time and realized once we were there they don't actually open until after May long. However, you can still walk around the outside of the boats which is amazing in itself. We have planned a return trip for when they are open!

Ian Cook

Good to go once, but not a multiple visit place. A few things not accessible due to covid, but mostly open. Kids had a good time.

Brad Singer

Can use more boats , but the ones there were interesting

Prometheus Hossain

A couple old boats and their history on display. No entry fee, you just simply walk in.

Jan Lelly

Was here on a sunday with my 6 year old who is totally in to boats at 525 pm ... the sign says open till 6 tried to go in and the girl working told us they were closed? ...... normally this wouldnt be a big deal but my little guy was so full of excitement which quickly turned to disappointment and then tears:( i said to the girl your sign says open till 6 and she replied "its only half an hour" ya explain that to my crushed little boy !!!!! Open till 6 usually means open till 6

Darryl Gutknecht

Went there for the halloween haunted ship it was great recommend to anyone and it was priced great where all proceeds go back into restoring and maintenance of the boats

Nikhil patel

Wow nice experience

Daryl Sanderson

Very good Marine exibits from the historical society that plied Lake Winnipeg.

Corey Quesnel

Alot was closed down and not accessible. Should be a discounted price.

Marcel Pelland

Nice like looking at old stuff going back in time

George Tabelina

awesome

Matt Lemke

Great place to check out for a afternoon in Selkirk would recommend.

D9 Potter

Neat museum. The concept of the boats themselves housing displays is really cool. However it could use some tlc. The gift shop is a joke. I get the feeling if it was managed better it would attract more visitors bring in more money and be able to use that money to improve the museum.

Rick Harrison

An interesting collection of ships and other items to do with the maritime history of Manitoba's lakes. A lot of signage is in disrepair. I suspect due to a lack of funds.

Cyril Karwa

Great photography spot.

Jodie Trippier

The boats are amazing

Ken Lapointe

Despite vivid restrictions still had a great time with the grandkids

DJAL LNRD

Halloween and summer days. Nice place to spend time.

Great place to go during Halloween with the kids and big kids. One of the ships may be frightening for young children and adults alike.

Andrew Hofer

Cool and nice place . Very educational

Munish Aggarwal
