Visited for the first time as an Adult this summer. It was an interesting museum and they had a cool temporary exhibit about Orcas. But so many Canadian museums across the country just have this kinda formulaic layout where they have a whole gallery dedicated to "natural history" - basically a collection of taxidermied animals and another gallery dedicated to "First Peoples" where they display FN artifacts a lot of times out of context.
That being said, I found the most memorable part of the museum was the late-1800s simulated town but now it seems like that's on the way out. Hopefully they can rebuild something as or more engaging. Things change - remember museums used to just be stuffy old rooms full of creaky drawers and stuffed dead animals.
