I believe this was my favourite museum in Ottawa when I was in Grade 6 - even amongst all the museums we visited. I was especially impressed by the dinosaurs, which seem to be looking down on me!

Parmi tous les musées que nous avions visité, je crois que c'était mon musée préféré à Ottawa lorsque j'étais en 6e année. J'étais particulièrement impressionnée par les dinosaures qui semblaient me regarder de haut!

This was a favourite on my grade 8 school trip!
All the dinosaurs!

This is one of the best museums in the country, in a city with several of the others. Every time I go, however, I end up playing a game of Would eat/Haven't eaten/Would not eat through most of the galleries. Be sure to check out the blue whale skeleton, the crab that will fuel your nightmares, and say hi to the ghost for me!
Nature galore

I love this museum. Especially the dinosaur exhibit because there is one spot that is hands on. The live fish in another exhibit is also really fascinating. When I went I got to touch a starfish
I <3 jelly fish and nature

When we moved here to Ottawa, we went to the Museum of Nature first. We're both science people, so this was a treat.
