A giveaway from our friends at the Museum of Nature
Posted by andrea tomkins in: Fishbowl patrons|Giveaways and product reviews
Thanks for your entries! We have a winner!
Some of you may already be familiar with the Museum of Nature. They are a patron of the Fishbowl and a great member of the Ottawa community. They are so passionate about sharing knowledge and making learning fun. There are always plenty of interesting things going on there no matter if you are an armchair scientist or a parent of curious kids.
The museum is one of my favourite places in Ottawa and my family has spent many many enjoyable hours there. We like to make a point of checking out the temporary exhibitions too because we are always guaranteed to enjoy ourselves and learn something new.
Have you seen Whales Tohora yet? I wrote about it when it first opened. This exhibition was developed by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and features two huge sperm whale skeletons, 20 whale skulls, precious Maori artifacts made from whalebone, and lots of interactive exhibits that will be of great interest to visitors of all ages.
The exhibition ends September 3. Do you want to catch the whales before they go?
Related: at what other point in your life will you have an opportunity to climb inside a life-sized replica of whale heart? (My eldest daughter just saw this photo on the screen and said: “I remember that. It was awesome.”) It was indeed.
I have four admissions to give to one family. (This includes admission to Whales Tohora as well as the permanent galleries but not the 3D movies… ok?) This giveaway has a total value of $72 but the memories you’ll make at the museum will be priceless.
Would you like to win? I thought so.
