THEMUSEUM

So full disclosure I used my canoo app to gain entry which is free. But for four people it’s around $40 which is not bad because you get so spend unlimited time here. I highly recommend this for children and toddlers. There are multiple levels. And each day a show for the younger crowd. On the day we went it was a dinosaur show which everyone enjoyed. If you go in the morning it’s not crowded at all the rush around started post lunch time and we left by then. There’s nursing room on the 3rd floor. And almost each floor you will find seating. You are allowed to bring your own meal and eat at the ground floor. Don’t miss out the science section in the basement. So much fun. They also rent out for birthdays and events which I believe is fun for children. Stroller friendly place. tonnes to Do. There’s ball pit and painting and water games. Lots of fun. Easily can spend 3-4 hours here.

Fantastic place for Kids! We drive from Burlington to come here because there’s nothing like this is our area. Lots of space for everyone so never feels busy or cramped even on weekends when we go. Great for a day trip.

The sold out Mac and Cheese and Beer Fest was probably the most amazing event I’ve been to in KW. It was my 5th time and as many have pointed out the new pricing model and fewer vendors definitely impact the quality of the experience negatively. I hope there is someone on staff with institutional memory going back to say 2018 who would be willing to recreate that vibe. We will still come back in the future but we hope that the event will go back to the old model of being able to sample more or less all products. In other words I would like to feel stuffed before I ran out of coupons and not have to do mental math which samples I can “afford”. I would be happy to pass this feedback through other channels if those exist.

Can't wait to bring our fundraiser to this big beautiful space this weekend. Our service and connections at THEMUSEUM have been awesome. Excited to see it all come together.

We visited on a Monday at 10:10am. They open at 10:00. It was empty. We paid $16.99 for seniors, which is 55 and up. She asked to see ID. There’s 4 floors and washrooms on each floor. This place is great for parents with kids. There isn’t much to do for adults. We did the virtual short movie- 9 minutes on the jungle meets the water. There’s 4 movies and some are 13 minutes long. You could spend close to an hour here if you watch all 4 movies. It’s not suitable for people who have vertigo because you can get dizzy. I also liked the immersive room. Kids will really like this room. The gift shop was closed at 11:00 and the employee said to give it another 20 minutes till opening. We did not see the dinosaur or some of the other stuff posted on their website. But I read that they change their exhibits from time to time. There also is no place to get something to eat. There was an area that said lounge with lots of chairs but that was closed. The place has elevators and is wheel chair accessible. There is parking connected to the museum and we paid $7 for 2 hours. We arrived an hour before the museum opened and were shocked to see a lot of homeless people walking around or in groups in front of some stores. And you could clearly some were high on drugs. Very sad. We didn’t feel safe to walk around. So we went into a coffee shop across from the museum. Later we saw a few police cars and some of the people seemed to move to another area. But this museum is worth the visit and we’re glad we did.
