Sundre & District Museum — Attraction in Alberta

I honestly don't write a lot of reviews on Google, but I feel that when you're completely mind-blown with an experience like we had today, you need to make some effort and recognize the good. This man, Daniel, is a fantastic human being with a wealth of knowledge. You CANNOT miss his tour of the wildlife exhibit even if you live a few hours away. Although the wildlife exhibit is not a big area, we ended up spending almost 2 hours in there with Daniel, all along learning so much about the various animals exhibited in there. His passion for animals and his politeness toward people is what keeps you involved. You won't find this much information even at the zoo and it's for a fraction of the cost you'd spend at the zoo. Make sure Daniel is working when you plan a visit, even if you have to call in and check. And no, he did not ask me to write this review on Google. In fact, it was the other way around, I had to ask him to oblige for a picture! Will be visiting...

We went mainly to see the wildlife exhibit, and were very disappointed. Although it was very well set up and seemed to be quite nice, the young man back there to answer questions immediately started fallowing us around and the first thing we stopped to look at, I opened the brochure to see what it was, started reading the name and he interpreted to say the name followed by ' we close in about an hour so I'd really like to start closing up now '. One of the people that came with me asked him if that meant we had to leave and he said we could go look at another section, that would be fine, but he wanted to close the wildlife exhibit. Since that's what I paid to see, and I still had an hour, I continued around, not stopping, just getting a quick look at everything, and the whole way he walked within a foot of us. Extremely disappointing, I have never been rushed through a museum like that, especially when they don't close for...

This is our second visit and we were as impressed the second time as much as the first. This “Gem of a Museum” is a credit to the fine folks of this community. The “Chester Mjolsness World of Wildlife Exhibit” is a standout. It has got to be the best animal/wildlife exhibit you will see in Canada. There are 170 wildlife mounts from countries all over the world done by a nearby, gifted taxidermist. The mounts from Africa in particular, are standouts. The mounts have all been put into a beautiful, huge display that reflects the environment in which they lived. If you’ve never been here before, this is a “must-see” and needs to be on your bucket list. Plus the folks who work here are very informative and caring and the price to get in...
