Minutes from Parliament Hill, the Canadian Museum of Nature is a must-see attraction in the nation's capital. Magnificent, world-class galleries present the wonders of nature in a stunning "castle," one of Canada's most significant heritage sites and a wonder in itself.
In the Water Gallery, marvel at a complete 19-metre Blue Whale skeleton, the largest creature on Earth. Discover Canada's North in the Canada Goose Arctic Gallery and touch an amazing multimedia sculpture with natural ice. Gaze in awe at dazzling minerals and rocks in the Earth Gallery. Don’t miss our special exhibition, Under the Canopy: Animals of the Rainforest, where you can see a range of live rainforest animals, including the two-toed sloth!
New at the museum: the Pacific touch tank brings you up close to starfish, sea cucumbers, and other tide pool creatures. See a leaf cutter ant colony and other live insects in Nature Live. As you leave, venture outside to the Plaza to meet live birds of prey. Owls Rendez-vous features live owls and a bald eagle.
