CANADIAN WARPLANE HERITAGE MUSEUM REVIEWS

What a fantastic experience that’s absolutely worth it! When you walk into the museum, you’re awestruck by the history, sheer size of the planes and the effort that goes into preserving history. The volunteers are so passionate and proud of Canada’s legacy, which made my family’s visit that much more memorable. We visited on a Sunday around 10:30am and we got there just in time to catch the planes taking off and flying around the airport. The tour guide was also quite knowledgeable about the planes outside of the hanger. Will definitely be back!

We went with a group of 30 seniors. We had called ahead, so we had 3 tour guides. Wonderful tour guides, highly recommended to add to your experience of the museum. We have seen the Lancaster bombers fly overhead, now we were able to see how massive they are! Take your kids and grandkids to learn about the sacrifice many young men made for our freedoms. We were gratified to see a display about Operation Manna where food was dropped into the Netherlands after the hunger winter of 1944. Thank you to your amazing volunteers!

Excellent place to visit with all ages. Knowledgeable volunteers answer questions and are a wealth of info on all the planes. The cafe has reasonably priced and tasty lunches. We also visited the gift shop for a souvenir plane for the kids.

HMCS HAIDA NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE REVIEWS

This is an amazing piece of history that is definitely worth the visit. You are able to walk through the warship on a self guided tour and take as long as you want. There is information along the ways as you climb up and down ladders and see what life was like for the soldiers that served our country on the ship and how it contributed to making Canada what it is today

We had a much better family visit to the HMCS Haida than Canada's Wonderland could ever provide. Very affordable, friendly staff and incredible access to this well preserved destroyer ship and it's history. The tour is self-guided so you are free to roam and explore the ship at your own pace. Excellent photo opportunities, and more hands-on access then I would have expected. I'm so glad we visited this old ship and learned so much about the men who served.

If you are into wars and history, this place is perfect for you! Its cool place I am glad by family stopped while in Canada! There is a ton of information around the ship, the staff was very friendly, and being able to independently walk around this ship was a really cool experience. They have some portions which are staged as they would be back which are closed off which was very cool. When I was there, they had some pictures kids could color and crayons on some tables. That kept the kids busy while the adults took a closer look.

WESTFIELD HERITAGE VILLAGE REVIEWS

I had an amazing experience at Westfield Heritage Village! I liked it so much that I visited twice this summer. The first time, I was so impressed that I went back the next day with a friend. The volunteers are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, which made our visit even more enjoyable. The village features over 30 historic buildings on a 130 hectare site, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past. It’s a great place to explore and learn about history, with beautiful woodlands, meadows, and trails perfect for peaceful hikes. Highly recommend it for anyone interested in history and nature!

We visited during Maple syrup festival which was also during March break so a popular outing for families. We purchased tickets in advance as they did limit the number of people entering at a time for this event. The tickets were good for 2 hours. Plenty of time to enjoy everything. This is a family friendly, reasonably priced venue . I intend to go back and visit again this summer.

It was an excellent thanksgiving getaway! It took about an hour from downtown Toronto. The heritage site of settlement era was well designed in layout and actors with costume worked properly. There were some short trails around the site as well.
