Western Development Museum

The boomtown exhibit is just so interesting with so much history to take in and walking into the buildings really feels like you're walking back in time. The vehicle exhibit was phenomenal. The old cars were the kids favorite part as well as being able to climb into an old train engine and feeling what it was like. They have staff around who will sneak up behind you with interesting information on whatever it is you're looking at. We also were treated to a model train show going on at the museum at the same time. Facilty is huge and from what I noticed, very clean. It takes a couple of laps around to really see it (and we likely missed some) Only downside was it was incredibly busy but it only moderately affected the experience. There's lots of parking and it's really easy to find.

What a great museum! The size of the building was surprising and thoroughly enjoyed the exhibits. You can walk down the Main Street in Boomtown with many buildings, shops, offices, etc. with collections supporting each one. Not being from the area, I learned a tremendous amount in the Saskatchewan history section and was impressed by the collection of cars, trains and farm machinery. An excellent place for any age.

Great museum, with push carts available for smaller kids. We enjoyed the interactive exhibits, with the combine cab, Bennett Buggy, antique car, and loved the model trains. Lots of activities for kids and informative boards on the machinery and stories were available.
