Greetings!     

The weather is finally getting colder. On the bright side, Market Mall has underground heated parking! Come and visit the Children's Discovery Museum on a blustery fall day. 

Our Mendel Re-use Proposal        

Come and show your support!  

The Children's Discovery Museum will be participating in the City of Saskatoon Kinsmen Park & Area Public Open Houses in November, and we encourage you to come out and show your support! This is a great opportunity for you to see potential museum floor plans, give input on potential exhibits and programs, and talk with board members about our exciting expansion plans.

These information sessions are being held to review a new Master Plan for Kinsmen Park and Area, which provides a long-term plan for the rejuvenation of the park and the adaptive re-use of the Mendel Gallery Building.
