Permanent Exhibit: Exploring Southwestern Alberta
 

We like adding new features and surprises to the Permanent Exhibit - like our new People on the Wall Podcasts - or pick up a Discovery Backpack or Treasure Hunt at the information desk when you visit to find what's new!

 

In the 5000 square foot Discovery Hall kids of all ages are immersed in the history of Southwestern Alberta with our permanent hands-on exhibits.

Experience the culture of the Kainai people. Take a virtual plane ride over the undulating prairie landscape. Dig up the history of the local coal mines. Duck under a giant replica of Lethbridge's famous High Level Bridge to discover immigrants, soldiers, law makers and breakers… There’s so much to see, do and touch!

Be sure to visit often so you can see the changes, and enjoy special exhibits both from across North America and designed in-house.
