The THM is once again pleased to present our Kid’s Quest Program. It’s a fun scavenger hunt that leads children, from grades Kindergarten to grade 6, throughout the Transcona Historical Museum and then into the community to learn fun and interesting facts.
The Quest ends right back at the museum. Once a participant has completed the Quest they receive a prize and are entered into our grand prize draw. Kid’s Quest runs from July 2nd until August 29th, Monday to Saturday 10am-4pm and is only $3.00.
