Northern Rockies Museum

The Northern Rockies Museum is Hinton's newest attraction featuring interactive child friendly activities, hands on learning opportunities plus more all located inside Hinton's original 1911 train station.

The museum curator was a pure delight as she brought to life a range of thoroughly researched stories about pioneers past and present and the town's development. It was clear she cared deeply about telling the stories with honesty and empathy for the local community. As a result, we came away from this visit full of information and enthusiasm for Hinton, it's past and it's future. We look forward to following her progress with future museum developments and would readily return in future to see them for ourselves.

The science centre features interactive exhibition galleries for all ages. The planetarium is the largest in Canada and shows are included with science centre admission. The IMAX Theatre has the largest screen in Alberta and plays both documentary films and Hollywood movies. The centre hosts travelling feature exhibitions several times a year, with past blockbuster exhibitions being Harry Potter, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Body Worlds.

Great selection of exhibits. Easy to spend an entire day here with something for kids of all ages (parents will enjoy it too!) the planetarium is fantastic, presenter was great and a few different shows played throughout the day which was nice. The space exhibit is small but really well done with lots of interactive stations catering to all ages. The moon show is short and sweet but very entertaining and informative. Discovery land is obviously a hit with toddlers and the science garage is another hands-on gem. The dinosaur exhibit was top notch however it was disappointing you were forced to walk through the gift shop to get to and from it. The restaurant has great food selection and the entire building was clean. We’re happy we visited on a weekday in September I can imagine it gets pretty busy during peak times and it was more enjoyable to have many exhibits to ourselves. Thanks for having us. We’ll be making the trip back!

A fantastic place to while away the day and the gift store may just allow you to fill out your entire Christmas and yearly Birthday gift shopping in one day. <3

Neato little museum. The collection is small but wonderful. The concert we attended was intimate and engaging.
