This was well worth the drive out from the Soo. The museum is interactive and fun for the whole family. This place topped our list of favourite science museums. Many of the exhibits are easy for younger kids to operate themselves. Our kids are 7,10 and 12. Perfect ages as they can read instructions and explore the displays themselves and so could we. The various levels space out people on the various floors and there was only one activity in the whole place that we could not get to because it was busy. Otherwise we saw everything! We arrived at 11 and left at 6pm! Got the day pass that included planetarium and Imax...well worth it and it gives you a few mintues to relax . It is a busy funfilled day. The blue coats are engaging and encourage the kids to participate, knowledagble and help to create a fun buzz.The Energy and flying squirrels demos were fantastic! Keep a look out for the beaver, porcurine and snapping turtle (especially when the blue coats take them outside)

Located in the railway town of Capreol, the museum is a must see destination for any history buff.

It's a pet shop in the front and an animal sanctuary at the back. The staff were knowledgeable and super friendly, but never obtrusive. We were allowed to explore and look at the animals at our own pace, and we took our time because there were just so many exotic pets that were given up that it felt more comprehensive than some zoos we had been in. The sanctuary section is meant to be educational; some animals do not make for good pets, and this place is doing its best with limited resources to provide as comfortable a home for the abandoned creatures as possible. They must be doing a great job because during feeding time, you could see how there was trust between handlers and animals and no one was in danger of being attacked. Snakes, spiders, frogs, lemurs, alligators, crocodiles, geckos, lizards, birds and other small mammals, they were just amazing to see and we spent a good two hours discovering more about them. This place is well worth the admission price; just make sure you don't knock on the glass and disturb the animals!
