At Mr.E's Solve-it-torium you must find clues and solve riddles to reach your final goal. My Solve-it-torium is a great place for a fun night on the town!!! How many? 6 people but I recommend 4 for the BEST experience. How long? 45 min and not a second longer!

Had the opportunity to go on a tour of this facility and we were thoroughly impressed. Fantastic beers and a great facility. The Brewer provided the tour and the storey of the beer scene in Medicine Hat and he displays the knowledge and passion needed to make excellent beer. We will always make a stop at this brewery. They do things right.

Medalta was a very successful ceramic production facility in its day. The kilns are interesting to see as is the original studio where the production took place, with a rotating kiln . A charming art gallery with good ceramic displays is also on the site .The large round kilns were for firing bricks. Good place to see.

An indoor garden centre and a tropical butterfly house (butterfly house has entrance fee - see website for price list). Open all year!

My kids LOVE nature, they catch lizards, frogs, geckos instead of watching TV, one of the benefits of growing up in Australia. During a visit home to the Hat we were fortunate enough to visit this little gem - a tropical paradise - in a desolate semi-arid desert! seeing Morpha butterflies was the highlight, but don't be fooled, when their wings are closed they look like an ordinary brown moth. When they open - WOW! Much appreciation for the efforts put into creating this unique experience.
8. Medicine Hat Brewing Company
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 30 reviews
In 1912 the Medicine Hat Brewing Company began serving old fashioned lager, ale and stout to our city's early, thirsty residents. When the Temperance Movement picked up, this popular brewery was forced to close. But you can't keep a good thing down. Over a century later, the Medicine Hat Brewing Company name was dusted off and again, we serve thirsty, hard-working people damn fine beer.

I love stopping in at craft breweries wherever I travel. This brewery has a big, warm room , extremely friendly and welcoming staff, and an awesome selection of beers. You can order a flight in a variety of sizes, and since I love the dark beers I went for it! Eight samples of stouts, porters and ambers, and I loved most of them. Ordered the fish and chips to go with it. The fish was overdone, but still tasty. Overall worth a repeat visit - hopefully in the summer where I will try their lighter beers.
