An entry fee is not necessary - all you need is to drop a donation in a box. The museum is spread over 3 levels. So better pack some time for the countless artifacts spread all around. Some very very old and some very rare.

Nice campus as well.

Great little museum on the McGill campus. Admission by donation. Gives you a taste of natural and cultural history without being overwhelming. Three floors of exhibits including: shells, minerals, dinosaur bones, taxidermy animals, mummies. The historic building is beautiful. I don’t believe that there are elevators or any way for people with mobility issues to access the museum.

Our family visited the Red Path Museum in Montreal. Finding close parking was challenging. Please note there are no elevators; the museum spans three floors accessible only by stairs, so it's not stroller-friendly. Leave strollers at home. Despite this, it's a good museum, and we recommend planning for 1-2 hours. Admission is based on voluntary contributions.

Visiting the Montreal Redpath Museum is always a pleasure. The McGill campus in the fall is wonderful. The diverse collection of fossils, rocks, and skeletons never fails to captivate my interest. It's a fantastic place to learn and explore the wonders of the natural world especially for younger audiences. However, the museum could benefit from some updates to enhance the overall experience. Nonetheless, it remains a valuable resource for both education and enjoyment. Make sure to make a donation!

This is a very nice museum of natural history, I can strongly recommend visiting it. The collection of minerals there is much better than one of the Ottawa museum.
The only problem I've seen there is that the majority of items are covered in dust and look like they're lacking some care.
I hope this museum will have more visitors and more donations that will help to make the connection shining as it deserves.

Such a cool little museum! It's actually one of the oldest museums in Canada. I wish I could've stayed longer but I only arrived 30 minutes prior to closing. It's free admission with a recommended donation. Will visit again, thanks.
