We are proud to offer fun, educational, safe, non-violent toys and gifts. Your Purchase Counts Every purchase made at Shop goes directly back into the museum! As a non-profit, charitable organization, the Manitoba Children's Museum relies on earned revenue to cover approximately 70% of its operating costs. These funds enable us to present blockbuster exhibits, create new exhibits like the Dream Gallery, develop educational programs, offer new services and maintain our permanent galleries.
