NORTH BAY MUSEUM REVIEWS
My family and I recently rented The Gallery event space in the North Bay Museum to hold my Mother's Celebration of Life. We were so pleased with the space and with Sarah and her team. The Gallery was bright with lots of windows and hardwood floors, and being able to rent it for 1/2 day made it very affordable. It came with tables, chairs, projector, screen, speaker and mike, which really helped with our rental cost. We had almost 50 guests for lunch and there was plenty of space. Sarah and her team were extremely helpful and attentive to our needs. In the end, we couldn't have been happier and we had a truly wonderful celebration for our Mother. The Gallery is a a gem in North Bay and I highly recommend it if you need a venue for any occasion.
Located in downtown North Bay at the historic North Bay railway building, this small but interesting museum is worth checking out when you're in the area. The staff does a great job changing up some of the exhibits while other mainstays speak in detail of the founders and roots of the city of North Bay and the surrounding area. While in the museum, check out the gift shop and enjoy this historic building.
My daughter and I really enjoyed their retro video game exhibit during the march break. She also liked the old fire truck and model plane displays.

CANADIAN FORCES MUSEUM OF AEROSPACE DEFENCE REVIEWS
Nice and small museum but informative. Bethany is an awesome host and guide. Great story teller. She's very passionate about this piece of Canadian history. If your in the North Bay area, make your way over.
The lady at the reception was really friendly and it's even forced to speak French ... she came with us to explain things in the museum and she even took a picture in the plane at the end. Really an activity that does not cost much and which is super interesting I strongly suggest.
The family really enjoyed the tour, very informative and displays are well organised. Special thanks to our guide Bethany who answered all the questions and very knowledgeable.
