FAMILY PROGRAMS
We have so much to offer children, youth, and adults. Look, learn, and create together in the museum.
For a current listing of program dates, please visit the Calendar page of this website.
Family Craft Events - Seasonal
Enjoy activities year-round with the Transcona Museum! Have fun at the museum while enjoying crafts, games, stories, and scavenger hunts! These events are seasonal and include Valentine's Day, Spring Break, Manitoba Day, Canada Day, Halloween, and the Winter Holidays. Ticket prices (where applicable) include all craft-making supplies.
Please note that due to COVID-19 and capacity restrictions, some Family Craft Events will be modified to ensure the safety of our visitors and staff. Thank you.
Craft with Us (Virtual) - July & August
Craft along with the Transcona Museum! Join us every week in July and August for Craft with Us! Create crafts related to the theme of the week and Transcona history! You can tune into Craft with Us every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 2:00 pm CDT on Facebook Live on the Transcona Museum page.
New this summer, we will be selling craft kits! Each kit is $5 and contains all the supplies needed for one week of crafts. A limited number of kits will be available each week and orders should be placed by 12:00 pm each Friday (there are no guarantees following the order deadline). Kits can be purchased online and picked up at the museum. Questions about the kits? Give us a call and we can help!
Craft with Us, In-Person - July & August
Join us for Craft with Us, In-Person. Create crafts related to the theme of the week and Transcona's history! We have three timeslots available on every crafting day; 10:45 am, 1:00 pm, and 3:00 pm. Each timeslot is for 45 minutes. After the 45 minutes are up, you are welcome to continue your visit at the museum but must vacate the crafting area so it and the items used may be cleaned and disinfected.
Pre-registration is required as space is limited. Each ticket is good for one participant. One parent must accompany the child if they are under 12 (no ticket required).
KidsQuest - July & August
Explore the community of Transcona! KidsQuest is a scavenger hunt that guides our visitors around Transcona to discover historical landmarks (like CN 2747) and challenge them with activities and questions at each stop. Spend a day or the whole summer completing the quest - it's up to you! All participants have the chance to be entered into the Grand Prize draw at the end of August. Price = $1.00 / booklet
Booklets can be purchased through our website, with online and offline payment options. Select a digital copy to be emailed, or a physical copy to be picked up at the museum. Questions about KidsQuest? Give us a call and we can help!
