It’s an aged museum with exhibits that feel like they were handed down from the US. In just the weather gallery alone, distances are measured in miles, videos are from NOAA, and exhibits come from Colorado even though the museum is in Regina. However, it is informative in the sense that it is structured like a physical FAQ gallery. How does hail form? Where does lightning come from? How is wind chill measured? All relevant questions in Canada.
The building used to be the city’s power plant and is a historic civil engineering site that represents the fuel-burning stage of the city’s power supply. It burned coal when it was built in 1914 before being converted to fuel oil in 1940 and then natural gas a decade after that. It finally closed in 1978.
Despite being more of an indoor playground than a museum, there are some excellent exhibits that most children are missing out on. I liked seeing a dead otter being eat in by red worms and and identifying animal by poo shape. Is it a fun place to be? Yes. Is it worth $17? Absolutely not.
