Seniors Canadian Museum Discounts

Planning a trip to a Canadian destination (or live there), and want to soak up some arts & culture? Or maybe you want to drag your kids or grandchildren away from their cellphones, TV’s, and video games, to have fun and learn something while spending time with you.

These art galleries, halls of fame, and museums in Canada provide seniors discounts or special offers for adults as young as age 50+. 

Many of these museums, halls of fame, and art galleries also offer reduced pricing or free admission for children, so if you’ve got the grandchildren for a day (or longer), this is a low-cost outing that enjoyable for all ages.

Notes:

Seniors and 50+ discounts and special offers are subject to change without notice by individual organizations, and may vary by location, time of day, day of the week, or may only apply on select exhibits or attractions. Check with a specific location to confirm current discounts, special offers and age or other eligibility requirements at time of purchase.

This is not a complete list of all art galleries, halls of fame, or museums.

• If admission is FREE, they are not on this list. For example, The Canadian Football Hall of Fame in Hamilton, Ontario is FREE for all ages.
• If admission is by suggested donations, they are not on this list. For example, admission to the Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Regina & their T.rex Discovery Centre in Eastend, Saskatchewan, is by donation.
• Other halls of fame, art galleries, and museums may have discounts for seniors and people age 50+. 

Always ask if there is a special offer for seniors or 50+ when you visit.

Inquire about the best available rate and compare other available discount offers before purchasing, as a seniors rate may not be the best option for you.
