Just minutes from Parliament Hill, the Canadian Museum of Nature is a must-see attraction in the nation's capital. Magnificent, world-class galleries presenting the wonders of nature are featured in a stunning "castle," one of Canada's most significant heritage sites and a wonder in itself.
In the Water Gallery, marvel at beautiful aquariums and the sight of a complete 19-metre Blue Whale skeleton, the largest creature ever to live on Earth. Discover Canada's North in the Canada Goose Arctic Gallery and touch an amazing multimedia sculpture with real ice. Finally, gaze in awe at the dazzling minerals and rocks in the Earth Gallery.
Check out the museum's special exhibition, Planet Ice: Mysteries of the Ice Ages, on view until January 8th, 2023. This fascinating exhibition features more than 120 natural specimens, incredible models, and artifacts allowing visitors to journey across more than 80 000 years of Earth's history! Explore the power of ice and cold in shaping the world we live in today.
