Some people might find the Bata Shoe Museum dry and/or boring, but I think that it's as fun as you make it! This is one of those places where it's really fun to play the "Which one would you pick?" game...you know, when you go around to each exhibit and pick out the one you would wear.
The Museum has three galleries for changing exhibitions, so it's kind of luck of the draw - good thing for me, I got to check out the Juno exhibit, as well as a Socks exhibit that was kind of entertaining. There were sock puppets and a puppet theatre...enough said. The permanent All About Shoes exhibit chronicles footwear through the ages, naturally.
Student admission is $8, which doesn't really break the bank, and you can spend an hour or two on a weekend browsing all kinds of shoes and storing factoids in your brain for your next cocktail party (e.g. "By the way, did you know that when nylons were scarce during the war women used to draw seams on the back of their legs to mimic the appearance of stockings?").
