🎨 Free Admission for Kids 17 & Under at WAG‑Qaumajuq with the Canada Strong Pass

Name: Free Admission to CMHR on the First Sunday of the Month
Start: 2026-01-04T10:00:00-06:00
End: 2026-01-04T17:00:00-06:00

Big news for families, art lovers, and anyone looking for an affordable day out — Winnipeg Art Gallery – Qaumajuq (WAG‑Qaumajuq) is letting kids and teens 17 and under in for FREE this summer! It’s all thanks to the Canada Strong Pass, a country‑wide initiative making culture and creativity easier (and cheaper!) to explore this season.

What’s the Canada Strong Pass All About?

Think of it as a summer‑long invitation to explore Canada’s best museums and galleries without emptying your wallet. From June 20 to September 2, 2025, the Canada Strong Pass means:

Kids and teens (0–17) get in completely FREE
Young adults (18–24) score half‑price admission
And the best part? There’s no card to carry, no sign‑up, no hoops to jump through. Just walk in, mention the pass, or pick the right age group online and you’re set.

Why WAG‑Qaumajuq Is Worth the Trip

This isn’t just any art gallery — WAG‑Qaumajuq houses the largest collection of Inuit art in the entire world. Over 5,000 carvings made from stone, antler, ivory, and more fill the iconic Visible Vault, and visitors can see them up close like never before.

Here’s the scoop on prices right now:

Kids 17 & under: FREE (yes, really free)
Ages 18–24: Half‑price (around $9 CAD)
Adults (25–64): ~$18 CAD
Seniors (65+): ~$15 CAD

Even cooler? The first floor is always free to visit — so if someone’s short on time or just curious, it’s still worth stopping by.

Why This Deal Rocks

✅ Art Access for Everyone – Kids and teens can explore world‑class art without parents worrying about the price tag.
✅ Young Adults Win Too – Anyone 18–24 gets in for half price — perfect for students, travelers, and anyone on a budget.
✅ The Ultimate Summer Outing – Valid all summer long (until September 2), this is the kind of easy day trip that pairs perfectly with a visit to The Forks, Assiniboine Park, or a coffee stop nearby.

Quick FAQ

🤔 Can I use the pass for school or tour groups? Nope! It’s just for individual visits—not group outings.

👥 Who’s eligible? Pretty much everyone! Whether you’re a local or just visiting Canada, you qualify as long as you’re in the right age range.

🎟️ Do adults get in free if they’re with kids? Nice try! But no—anyone 25 or older still pays regular admission. Still, kids and young adults get such great deals that it’s totally worth it.
