Fodor's Review:

About a third of this museum has been turned over to kids, with touchable displays offering a chance to drive a tug, maneuver an underwater robot, or dress up as a seafarer. Toddlers and school-age children can work the hands-on displays in Pirates' Cove and the Children's Maritime Discovery Centre. The museum also has an extensive collection of model ships and is the last moorage for the RCMP Arctic St. Roch, the first ship to sail in both directions through the treacherous Northwest Passage and the first to circumnavigate North America. While you're here, take a moment to look at the 100-foot-tall replica Kwakiutl totem pole in front of the museum.

Cost: C$10
Open: Mid-May-Labor Day, daily 10-5; Labor Day-mid-May, Tues.-Sat. 10-5, Sun. noon-5
