In this enchanting museum within the Canadian Museum of History, children can discover the world's most remote corners. The museum's focus is on getting kids excited about exploring the world, and its "The Great Adventure" exhibit does just that. Kids are able to "visit" countries from around the globe to learn about their cultures and the everyday lives of those who live there by using costumes and props.
Kids can get on a bus in Pakistan, camp out in a traditional Mexican home, and then hop on a rickshaw in Thailand in one afternoon — and still have time to check out Nigeria and India before dinner. Through interactive play, exhibits encourage imagination and hands-on learning for kids up to 14 years old.
