Downloadable resources for educators, created in collaboration with local teachers, make it an excellent resource for student groups. Later that evening, take your students for a night at the museum that Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson would surely approve of. The Manitoba Museum allows educators to customize a memorable sleepover, bringing to life the natural history of the region and beyond. Students will take a mystery flashlight tour and scavenger hunt of the galleries, watch a show at the Planetarium, explore the whacky side of science at the hands-on science gallery and learn about the history of the fur trade aboard the Nonsuch, a replica 17th century ship that is the museum's most-popular attraction. DAY 3 Devote your third day in Winnipeg to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, dedicated to the evolution, celebration and future of human rights. Curriculum-linked, immersive guided class tours are available daily throughout its 11 galleries. The "When Rights are Denied" tour will challenge students to witness a range of historical and contemporary world events and have them discussing their own concepts of freedom, identity and discrimination. The "Debating Rights" tour will see students examining the issues, laws and people that have shaped Canada, while recognizing how universal consensus is a rarity in human rights discussions. In the afternoon, head out for some fun at either The Real Escape or Enigma Escapes. These thematic escape rooms are always a good time, challenging student's (and teacher's!) ability to logically solve fun and fascinating puzzles while working as a team.
