  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.
