Arctic Adventure: Crawl through an ice cave to meet polar bears and seals—all while learning about climate change. ❄️🐻 🔭 Science World Meets History The museum’s Science Gallery turns learning into play: Space Zone: Launch rockets, peer through telescopes, or walk on a simulated moon surface. 🚀 Energy Show: Watch lightning bolts zap and flames dance in a live demo (held daily at 2 PM!). ⚡🔥 Indigenous Innovations: Discover how First Nations technologies—like canoe design—shaped modern engineering. 🛶🌿 🎭 The Planetarium: A Stargazer’s Dream Lay back under a 360° dome for shows like “Night Sky Legends”, blending Indigenous storytelling with astronomy. 🌌📖 Pro tip: Grab tickets early—these fill up fast!
