Rodney: Great in so many elements. The message and purpose of educating people on human rights issues is very well done. The layout and quality of the exhibits enhances the learning experience with clear visual and auditory presentations. The building architecture is beyond describing as it is so unique and beautiful. The friendly staff were icing on the cake. Well done.

Julian Diaz: Excellent museum and of world importance due to the diversity of races and creeds all with the same rights

Xiaolei Deng: Such a beautiful building that housed some of very thought provoking materials and history that we wishes didn't take place. I enjoyed the layout of the museum and also its invitation to think , instead of a strong agenda. Also want to give credit to including the history that many don't feel proud of. It is essential to be able to see and discuss history so it does not repeat itself.My only minor complain is the layout inside can be a little confusing. Maybe I missed the map or overview, or maybe the museum is designed this way as human right can be a confusing topic often without a clear right and wrong.

Luc Marineau: You are very interestingVisited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No …

Lyne Brousseau: Just perfect. The exhibitions are beautiful, especially the one on Louis Riel. The museum is located in a very old building with an old chapel behind it which now contains several artifacts from another era. On the second floor is an exhibit on Métis and Indigenous art. You can find a bit of everything there, including painting and sewing. The description of the works is described in French, in English and in the language of the artist. The people at the reception are PERFECT! they speak French, answer all our questions, they are simply passionate about the history of St-Boniface. We had the chance to ask just one question and it was a book that opened up to us. In addition, the view from this site is simply splendid! a must, impossible to miss. In front of the museum is a huge bust in honor of Louis Riel. I simply loved it!

Renaider: I went to the St Boniface museum on a Thursday when the entrance and tours were free.When I got there and asked about the free tour, I was told that there wasn’t going to be one because there wasn’t enough people. Literally only me.It made sense at the time because, of course, I didn’t want to put them to any trouble.So I wandered around with one of the fellows, just pointing out the different rooms and what were in there but no detailed information.I went away underwhelmed and later decided that I would contact the museum and ask why they wouldn’t give a tour even if it was just for one person because one person or 10 people what’s the difference?I received an immediate response, and was told that I should have been given a tour and that,” anytime I would like”, I would get free entry and a tour. Thank you Loik !Well, I’ve had a tour of both the graveyard and the museum and I can tell you it was incredibly informative and very satisfying. The information imparted I had no clue about.Yes, there’s a lot about Louis Riel, because he is buried there, but there’s also a lot about the history of St Boniface and Winnipeg in general.I don’t want to ruin anything for anyone who might go, but a couple nuggets of information that I learned kind of blew me away.First of all, I found out that a cross is only a crucifix if it has Jesus on it. Otherwise, it’s just a cross. And on the cemetery grounds a life sized crucifix just outside of the old cathedral faces the cathedral, when normally, it should be facing out from the graveyard. Apparently, this is to protect the cathedral, which has burned down three or four times now.It was totally fascinating to hear about the original inhabitants of this area and the Europeans effect on them and how the newly formed Manitoba government try to negotiate with the Canadian government to become Manitoba. And lots and lots and lots of details in between.If you are at all into museums, and how the local history formed what is now the modern era, this is a must visit museum and the tour makes all the difference!I highly recommend attending the St Boniface museum.

Tara M: A wonderful treasure! Must see when visiting Winnipeg. Parking is a challenge.

A C: My wife and I stumbled upon the Dalnavert Museum in Winnipeg and it quickly became one of our favorite hidden gems in the city. As architecture and history lovers, we were both amazed to see the entire building so well-preserved, giving us a glimpse of Winnipeg's past. Emily, our tour guide, was super informative and took us through the house, sharing not just the story of the building but also some fun little anecdotes. We had such a great time that we can't wait to go back!

I K (Kira): It’s one of those hidden Winnipeg gems. You don’t hear much about it. I think it needs to be advertised more.What a wonderful place it is! Came here for a Teddy Bear tea party and just live it! The staff is super friendly and loves what they do. Kids enjoy Tex their scavenger hunt, crafts and treats, so are moms enjoyed their coffee while kids were entertained.And the place itself… so much history, beauty, details and textures. I just wanted to touch everything and take endless pictures. Definitely coming back for the “behind ropes” tour.

Michelle Cea: Beautiful. Knowledgable, enthusiastic and polite tour guide.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Yes …

Leif Norman: Experience the year 1895 from a rather upper class perspective. Filled with objects, furniture and artifacts from the era, this house was a rooming house in the 1970’s and just about got torn down. Lovingly restored and luckily still full of original plumbing fixtures and radiators.Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No …

fan Yang: Well worth going.Both adults and kids have their own takeaways.

Jeremy Boutin: This is a fantastic museum for anyone interested in aviation or mechanics in general.I visited with my wife and two young children for about two hours on a Friday morning. I could’ve spent a bit longer at the museum, as there is a lot to see. They have lots of restored planes, artifacts, and very professional videos available for viewing. It was a bit long for the little ones—they had fun checking everything out, including exploring the two planes you’re able to enter, and spent some time playing on the playground, but they enjoyed their time there.I felt we got good value for money. It was about $50 for our family of four to enter and another $5 for parking.Highly recommend a visit to this beautiful facility.

Fabi D: . The Museum itself appeared small in pictures but it is definitely bigger. Many amazing and beautiful planes and very nice staff too. You can even sit in some planes/simulators and press buttons or take pictures. If that's nothing for you, there's a corner right upstairs with a telescope which lets you see the runway of the YWG airport. We finished our visit at the Souvenir shop. Great experience in general and I would definitely recommend visiting the Museum if you are into planes.
