The Canadian Fossil Discovery Centre (page 64) in Morden, one of Manitoba's Star Attractions, is home to Canada's largest and most significant collection of marine fossils. As well, if you are fascinated by the dinosaur age, there's "Bruce", a 43-foot Monasaur – that's bigger than a T-Rex – considered to be the fiercest of all the marine reptiles. The museum remains open throughout the fall and winter from 1 p.m. – 5 p.m. daily.
