Manitoba Children's Museum

The Manitoba Children's Museum is an interactive museum at The Forks Historic Site featuring hands-on galleries across multiple levels focused on science, art, and technology. Visitors navigate through spaces designed for direct exploration and learning through direct engagement with exhibits.

The building was constructed in 1889 as a railroad repair facility for the Northern Pacific and Manitoba Railway. It remained in this industrial use before being converted into a children's museum in 1994.

This educational center presents Manitoba's agricultural heritage through exhibits like the Moo Mission gallery, which teaches children about modern dairy farming methods.

The museum sits at The Forks Historic Site and is fully wheelchair accessible throughout. You will need time to explore the multiple levels, and visiting early helps avoid crowds in the galleries.

During winter months, restored mechanical storytelling devices from a former department store are on display showing animated scenes. These rare machines offer a glimpse into holiday traditions from earlier decades.
