If you’ve lived in this city for any length of time, you’ll have definitely heard of Gus, the 90-year-old tortoise and longtime resident of the Museum of Natural History. However, Gus is but one of the main attractions at the Best Museum in the city. Not only a great starting point for the hordes of kids that take field trips here every year, it’s also ideal to help people of all ages develop an interest in the geological history of the world and our province. With a wide range of permanent exhibits in addition to the exciting temporary displays, there is something for everyone here.
