Become a part of Canada’s story of science, technology, and innovation—learn about steam locomotives, telescopes, gold mining, climate change, wearable technology and so much more at this family-friendly museum.
When visitors walk through the museum’s 11 exhibitions, visit the demonstration stage, or tinker in the maker space, they will learn about Canada’s innovation story in an immersive, educational, and fun way!
Visitors won’t want to miss the ever-popular Crazy Kitchen—a unique sensory experience that has been at the museum since it opened in 1967. If you have kids with busy minds, the ZOOOM – Children’s Innovation Zone is also a must!
We are a sister museum to the following museums:
Canada Aviation and Space Museum
The Canada Aviation and Space Museum focuses on aviation in Canada, but within an international context, from its beginnings in 1909 to the present day.
Canada Agriculture and Food Museum
The Canada Agriculture and Food Museum is living proof of the “Green Capital”. In fact, Ottawa is the only world capital that has a working farm at its heart. Canada’s unique agricultural heritage is featured at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, where you can explore the sights and sounds of typical farm life.
