Manitoba Children's Museum, Interactive children's museum at The Forks Historic Site, Winnipeg, Canada.

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.

The museum's name comes from its home in the former Northern Pacific and Manitoba Railway repair shop, and the building's railway past is still visible in the Engine House and Junction 9161 galleries, where visitors board a 1952 diesel locomotive and a 1910 Pullman passenger coach. Each holiday season the restored Eaton's "Santa's Village" vignettes, fifteen scenes including Cinderella and Humpty Dumpty, are displayed from mid-November to early January.

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.

The museum holds Eaton's "Santa's Village", a restored fairytale display moved from the ninth-floor annex of Eaton's downtown Winnipeg store. Its fifteen vignettes include Cinderella, Humpty Dumpty and Three Blind Mice, and it is shown from mid-November to early January.
