This is a wonderful museum for both connoisseurs and the uninitiated, interesting for adults and magical for children. There is something for the whole family. Despite the pathway’s large scale, I followed my parents all the way through thousands of dinosaur bones. At times, I would have liked to get out of my rickshaw to explore a little further, but since it’s a museum and the artefacts are for the most part authentic, my parents thought it more prudent to keep me fastened down! I was nonetheless able to see so many things and sometimes even touch certain elements at my height. I took pleasure in spinning the many globes explaining the various eras of life on Earth.

Everything seems so new, judiciously placed; it’s like we’re in a story book. The course takes us through the different phases of the presence of dinosaurs on Earth in a colourful scenario rich in realism. However, we were surprised that such a large Canadian museum does not offer French texts in any of its exhibitions.

This is really a visit to consider when you are in the area. As I am trained in museology, it is easy for me to be critical of museums, but here I didn’t find anything to say. The newly completed renovations have given way to a museum of superior quality with exhibits of great professionalism (both in terms of presentation and message) and which can easily compete with other world-renowned institutions. I was very impressed throughout my visit which is well worth every penny. Bring a stroller for young children because it requires a lot of walking.
