Exhibitions
Energy Park: Nature at Work
See renewable energy in action at the Canada Agriculture Museum’s Energy Park: Nature at Work. Farms are not only consumers of energy, increasingly they are also producers. Take a stroll through this outdoor park and try your hand at “harvesting” energy using our solar interactive. See if you can beat the wind and pump water faster than a windmill!
Tractors
Visit Tractors and follow the 100-year-old story of the tractor from unfamiliar oddity to commonplace tool on the Canadian farm.
Taking Care of Beesness
There’s a new buzz at the Canada Agriculture Museum. Discover the essential role bees play in the pollination of many Canadian food crops such as blueberries and apples, as well as to the production of honey and many other by-products, while you explore the role and the tools of the beekeeper. Check out the Museum’s live hive arriving in May and try to find the queen among all the workers and drones.
Animal Barns
Get up close and personal with the animals at the Canada Agriculture Museum. In our barns and barnyards see different breeds of dairy and beef cattle, pigs, sheep, horses, goats, rabbits and chickens. Don't forget to look for our heritage breeds!
Tally-Ho wagon rides - Done for the season, look for us next spring!
Take a horse-drawn wagon ride through the Central Experimental Farm. Saturdays and Sundays (as well as statutory holidays), from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., weather permitting ($).
Picnic at the Museum
The Canada Agriculture Museum is ideal for picnics! In the shade of the apples blossoms, under a tent or in the sun, visitors can enjoy the sights and sounds of the outdoors as they snack or have lunch. We cannot permit the use of barbecues or hibachis on the Museum site. The Museum has vending machines for hot and cold beverages and light snacks but does not offer food services.
