This is an exceptionally well laid out small local museum with some very interesting artifacts. The attendants were friendly and helpful. The admission was free. There was a large rack of pamphlets for other things to see and do in the area. And, the bathrooms were clean!

The museum curator was a pure delight as she brought to life a range of thoroughly researched stories about pioneers past and present and the town's development. It was clear she cared deeply about telling the stories with honesty and empathy for the local community. As a result, we came away from this visit full of information and enthusiasm for Hinton, it's past and it's future. We look forward to following her progress with future museum developments and would readily return in future to see them for ourselves.

The RAM has interesting exhibits including dinosaurs, wildlife, bugs, geology, gems, military history, and Alberta history. But where they really shine is indigenous history. They have a large collection of Cree, Blackfoot, Dene, and Metis artifacts, including totem poles, tipis, headdresses, arrowheads, beadwork, and artwork. The exhibits make history come to life and show how people lived here for thousands of years.

I went inside the Paleontology Museum with students. It was fascinating. Many people don't know about Paleontology. Paleontology is the study of animals, fish and more. Most of them were fossils. It was amazing. They had lots of species and I learned a lot as well. A must see!

The fish are biting at Bow Habitat Station! Explore hands-on exhibits in the Discovery Centre, feed thousands of fish in the hatchery (Fridays & Saturdays until 3 pm), go fishing in the Trout Pond (May 15-Oct 31), and take a stroll along the trails of the Interpretive Wetland. The experience will leave you hooked! Located five minutes east of downtown Calgary, Bow Habitat Station is a unique destination featuring Alberta's fish, wildlife and water. Open year-round, the facility is completely wheelchair accessible and fun for all ages. Free parking is available in the main lot for Pearce Estate Park. Access to the hatchery is through guided adventures only. Please visit bowhabitat.alberta.ca for up-to-date hours.

We took our two children ages 10 and 11 to the Sam Livingston Hatchery and I must say... I think I had more fun than the kids. Their interpretive centre is very creative and educational. I learned a few things when I visited. The fish feeding was a great experience and the native fish of Alberta aquariums in the basement were as good as any larger West Coast City's displays. Plan on being there for at least 2-3 hours if you enjoy learning about fish habitat.

On February 13, 1947, the Imperial Leduc No. 1 well was brought in, forever changing Alberta's Energy story. This monumental discovery was key to the success of Alberta's petroleum industry. The well was decommissioned in 1974, and our museum opened on the historic well-site in 1997. Today, the Canadian Energy Museum strives to share and celebrate Canada's Energy story, exploring everything from coal and petroleum resources to future innovations in geothermal and biomass energy production.
