Following an extensive overhaul a new museum was opened in late 2017. It features more than 7,400 m² (80,000 sq. ft.) of completely redesigned space, including a temporary exhibition hall to accommodate travelling exhibitions from around the world. Combining everything visitors liked about the previous incarnation—locomotives and the Crazy Kitchen—with more artifacts and interactives that will surely become new favourites, the museum tells Canada’s innovation story in an immersive, educational, and fun way.

Ian MacGregor's 20,000-square-foot underground Canadian Museum of Making in the foothills near Cochrane is the stuff of collectors' dreams: "The Canadian Museum of Making began as a personal project to save intriguing machinery and tools from being discarded from local shops, and grew into a renowned, private museum which gathers items from all over the world that live in the intersection between engineering and art.

The Car Life Museum is a great display of Vintage and Classic vehicles and Farm Machinery. It is located on Route 1 half way between the Confederation Bridge and Charlottetown, PE. It features vehicles such as Don Messers and Elvis Presely's vehicles. There is also a 1909 Maxwell that made its way across the Confederation bridge opening day.

This museum has over 100 motorcycles on display, many marques and covers decades of motorcycle history. The Gift Shop has unique motorcycle related gift items and great options for decorating the "Man Cave".
