W: Manitoba Electrical Museum and Education Centre

With an enormous yellow turbine runner at the entrance into the historic building, you can’t miss this must-see Winnipeg attraction. Climb inside a streetcar, one of the earliest uses of electricity in the province; see a 1940s
kitchen; look at a HVDC transmission line up close; discover what year Manitoba communities got electricity or push the buttons on a giant talking robot. Interactive exhibits encourage you to consider how much we depend
on energy today. From arc lights to motion-detected LED lighting, electricity has certainly evolved. Follow the decisions that were made in Manitoba’s history that now make hydroelectricity one of Manitoba's greatest resources. Entertaining and informative for all ages.

Open Monday to Thursday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and by appointment.  Guided tours available. Seasonal events include Discover Wonder Juice held in May and All That Glows: Then and Now, a celebration of holiday lighting
trends, running from mid-November to early January.
