Travel attraction Canadian museum of nature

Tourist spot museum of nature

 Now I want to introduce you about the Canadian museum. The name of this musiam is museum of nature (613-566-4700). It is housed in the attractive old Victorian building at 240 McLeod St on the corner of Metcalfe St, south of the downtown area. The four-storey building fostering an appreciating and understanding of nature includes a good section on the dinosaurs once found in Alberta.

Also excellent are the realistic mammal and bird dioramas depicting Canadian wildlife. Major temporary exhibitions on specific mammal, mineral or ecological subjects are a feature.
The viola MacMillan gallery is excellent, with some of the largest gems and minerals you’re ever likely to see. The reproduction mine comes complete with a shaky elevator. The east-coast tidal zone recreation is also very realistic.

A separate section of the museam is geared to children. The nature museum also has a cafeteria. The natural museum of Canada is open until 5 pm every day of the year, opening at 9.30 am in summer and 10 am the rest of the year. On Thursday, hours are extended until 8 pm. Check for more extended hours during summer. Admission is $5, with special rates for seniors, kids and families.

On Thursday, it’s half-price from opening time to 5 pm and then free from 5 to 8 pm. It’s free on 1 july, Canada day. From confederation squire, take bus nos 5, 6 or 14 down Elgin St. walking from the Parliament building takes about 20 minutes.
