Maritime Museum of Manitoba: A Hidden Gem Near Winnipeg

📍 Location: Selkirk, MB (1-hour drive from Winnipeg) – More of a charming "maritime town" than a city! Visitor Essentials 🎟️ Admission: Adults $8 | Kids $4 Family pass = 2 adults + 2 kids (same price as 2+1 – joked I’d need another child to maximize savings!) Why It’s Worth the Trip 🚢 6 Historic Vessels: Star attraction: The SS Keenora – a 1917 steamship that once sailed the Red River to Edmonton (route discontinued) Bonus: Climb into wheelhouses and cargo holds 📸 Photo Goldmine: Postcard-perfect shots on deck (our sunny day served Manitoba blue skies – rivaling Tibet’s hues!) Rainy days bring dramatic gradient skies (locals’ secret) Pro Tips ⏳ Duration: 1.5 hours (perfect half-day trip) 🔍 For Superfans: Pair with Winnipeg’s Manitoba Museum (better exhibits) or dream big with San Diego’s USS Midway (a full-day naval immersion) #MaritimeMuseum #WinnipegDayTrips #PrairieHistory #ShipLovers
