Kid's Quest
This year, our 9th Annual Kid's Quest runs from July 2nd to August 27th. Kid's Quest is a local scavenger hunt that gives kids the chance to discover their own community. The booklet based hunt begins in the Museum, moves out into the community and then returns to the Museum. Once the Kid's Quest is complete, each child will recieve a prize and be entered into our grand prize draw.
This year our grand prize draw features 4 tickets to a Winnipeg Blue Bombers Game, Manitoba Moose Gear, and gift certificates to Kildonan Place, The Manitoba Museum and more!!!
There are three versions of the Quest available, spanning the ages of four to sixteen: Primary (ages 4 to 7), Middle (ages 8 to 11), and Teen (ages 12 to 16). Drop by the Museum from 9am to 4pm, Monday through Saturday this summer to pick up your Kid's Quest booklet. Available by drop- in or for larger groups such as daycares, we recommend booking ahead to ensure we have enough prizes on hand. Suggested donation: $1 per booklet.
