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)
2. Meaford Museum

The Meaford Museum was originally built in 1895 as the Town's Pumping House. Later it was turned into the Public Utilities Offices and finally, in 1961 after a sizable donation of historical memorabilia was received by the town, the building was turned into the Meaford Museum. Since that time several renovations, additions and improvements have been made creating the new Meaford Museum as an interactive and exciting hub of local history. You will frequently find school or senior groups, individuals and families learning about the history of the former Town of Meaford and Townships of Sydenham and St. Vincent. The Meaford Museum is an important stop on the Apple Pie Trail, featuring information about the local apple growing history. Also for 2014, there is an exhibit about local inventor and hero Andrew Gawley, the Man with Iron Hands. Learn more about Meaford's internationally renowned story of Beautiful Joe and the area which inspired John Muir to create the Sierra Club. Meaford has a robust and unique history that transcends its borders and delights all those who visit to learn about it.

My family visited this museum while on a mini-vacation to the area. (We were there during Covid-19 so our experience and review will reflect that). We made reservations online as it was recommended and when we arrived we were happily received by a lovely women. Payment was by donation at this time. We were able to pay by credit card but I wish we had had cash on us so they wouldn’t have to incur the fees. The museum had signs on the floor to guide us through. The museum is a little on the smaller side but that is because it is inside original historical buildings. And so very cute. We learned a lot of history about the area and we loved seeing the old tools and clothes of the past. My son particularly liked seeing the penny farthing bicycle and the general store. We almost missed seeing the mini model of a church but make sure you don’t! It’s upstairs and has a switch on the wall to turn on the lights. We all liked seeing that. The one thing we missed was more information on the Indigenous in the area. I know there are other historical places that have lots of this information (they were actually closed during our stay) but I would have liked to see more at this museum. We had a time limit of 30 minutes and it took approximately that much time to see it all. It wasn’t too busy so I don’t imagine they would have kicked us out anyway. There is a small gift store with books, toys, and other souvenirs. The genealogy area was closed when we were there.

An extensive collection curated by sisters with deep roots in the community and beyond. Items are artfully displayed with background stories, a great learning opportunity. Get a guided tour if possible and ask questions, the stories are eye-opening. Exhibits are not flashy but deeply moving and intriguing. There is a lot to see here, a must see for any race. Note they are currently closed due to Covid, but will definitely check back and visit when restrictions are eased.
