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. Gaze in awe at dazzling minerals and rocks in the Earth Gallery. Explore the fascinating worlds of dinosaurs, mammals, and insects or see the featured 3D movie.
Be sure to check out the museum’s special exhibition, Pterosaur: Flight in the age of Dinosaurs, on view until September 2, 2019. Big as fighter jet or small as a sparrow, pterosaurs ruled the skies 150 million years ago. Close relatives of the dinosaurs, they were the first animals with backbones to fly under their own power!
Don't miss the live butterfly exhibition, Butterflies in Flight, extended to October 14, 2019.
