Yes

It’s right downtown — at The Forks.

I would have to give the same answers as already provided by other reviewers. There is the Inn at the Forks that could be checked out at well.

Hi, sorry I did not see msg sooner. I think it was $5 less than adult ones . But they also have 1st Wednesday of the month for free at certain hours. You can go on their website for details.

I believe it is Wednesday evening. Best to call first. Anything free can be subject to change. Well worth it! Parking is free on weekends.

Their webpage says. "Free first Wednesday of each month. 5 to 9 pm. " Always Free for Aboriginal, Metis, Inuit. You should go. Plan for 3 to 4 hours. It's a spectacular building. Learn about Izzy Asper's Legacy.

Visitors of all ages will find exhibits that engage and educate at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. In fact, several exhibitions were designed with young people in mind. However, some of our stories touch on subject matter that is not appropriate for children. We therefore encourage you to participate in the learning experiences of children in your care while visiting the Museum. Explore the exhibits together to help to shape children’s educational journey. Our staff, located throughout the galleries, will be happy to guide you and help you plan a journey suitable for your own family. On Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays during the summer, a special table is set up at the entrance to assist families. Here are some great activities at the Museum to share with youngsters: • The building itself is a “wow” experience that inspires awe and wonder. Children may enjoy learning that they are about to embark on a journey from darkness to light. Starting below ground level in a dim and earthy environment, you can explore visually dramatic spaces and enjoy a quest-like journey up a stunning series of illuminated ramps that connect the galleries. Near the top, take a glass elevator ride to the viewing platform of the Israel Asper Tower of Hope (or bounce up the amazing spiral staircase if you dare!). It provides a thrilling view of the city at a height of 58 metres. • In the Indigenous Perspectives gallery, a beautiful circular theatre shows a 360-degree surround film on Indigenous concepts of rights and responsibilities. One of the narrators of this family-friendly story is a young girl. The theatre also introduces the Seven Sacred Teachings of love, courage, humility, honesty, wisdom, truth and respect. • In the Canadian Journeys gallery, children can play a motion-sensor light game. People of all ages have fun entering the circle and watching how their movements activate colourful light effects. As players interact, their individual spheres of light merge and expand, symbolizing the power of inclusion and cooperation to strengthen our individual efforts. • In the Actions Count gallery, everyone can try a fun digital interactive table with appealing animated characters (think Mindcraft meets The Sims). The game shows how young people can put ideas into action to make a difference. Players can role-play and make choices about scenarios such as starting a sports team for inner-city youth. • In the Rights Today gallery, children are invited to think about everyday objects such as cell phones and plastic bags. They explore how ordinary items are connected to human rights. • In the Inspiring Change gallery, every visitor is encouraged to create a personal human rights message and add it to a display for others to see. Colourful pens and blank cards invite children to imagine a better world in any way they wish. • Also in the Inspiring Change gallery, people of all generations can enjoy music listening stations. Put on a set of headphones, choose a song related to human rights, and select colours to express your emotional response to the music. • Our mobile app includes an engaging self-guided audio tour, so bring your mobile devices and headphones. There are also images, videos and a panorama view from the Tower of Hope with touchable “hot spots” that explain nearby landmarks. Another feature captures extra information when you walk near one of 120 iBeacons located throughout the building. Download it for free from the App Store or Google Play by searching “Canadian Museum for Human Rights”. We hope you enjoy your visit.

As noted above, there is a group entrance. Contact the group events manager for further information about admission prices and parking for your bus.

Hi John. The Group Entrance for school programs is on Israel Asper Drive (formerly Waterfront Drive). You would need to drive towards the Forks, then do a U-turn (or go around the roundabout by the parkade) and drop the students off at the curb in front of the entrance.
