The Canadian Museum of Nature is one of the most popular kids’ attractions in Ottawa with a rich collection of fossils, mineral and rocks, exhibits of wild animals, birds and insects and a stunning exhibit of the marine and fresh water fishes including a skeleton of a blue whale.

The in-house library is just what you need to unleash your inner-geek and go through the vast collection of books open to the general public. The National Herbarium of Canada is another addition to the museum and consists of a huge collection of algae, plants and bryophytes.

  • Is the museum open this holiday Monday

    Answer Report Abuse
    • According to the official website of the Canadian Museum of Nature, the museum is open on all Mondays from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. But since it is a holiday, I am not sure if it will be open for the public. It would be best to confirm by calling on 613.566.4700.
