Explore your world – and worlds beyond – at the Manitoba Museum this Spring Break! Get ready to discover the wonders of earth, space, and everything in between with exciting programming in the Museum Galleries, Planetarium, and Science Gallery.
Embark on our “Think Big” scavenger hunt as it leads you through the Museum’s big, LARGE, and GIANT artifacts. Each riddle invites you to look closer, imagine bigger, and discover the stories behind the biggest objects hidden in plain sight.
Looking for out-of-this-world vacation ideas? Check out our family-favourite planetarium show, Perfect Little Planet, to experience the ultimate space vacation. If you’re more curious about our home planet, our newest planetarium show, Living Worlds, invites you to examine how the evolution of life has transformed Earth’s surface and atmosphere over billions of years.
Speaking of Earth’s atmosphere, did you know the role our world’s oceans play in keeping our planet’s temperature steady? Stop into our Explore Science Zone to discover how the oceans act as the Earth’s lungs and thermostat – and what happens when things heat up.
