CANADIAN WAR MUSEUM REVIEWS

You could easily come to this museum on several occasions and not see everything, Many amazing exhibits and facts about last conflicts. If you're a veteran you and your guest get in for free and free parking as well as a 20.00 voucher for food. This was all very good touches in my eyes Highly recommend visiting if you are into military history.

This is a beautiful museum, the exhibits are educational, interactive and interesting. I have been a war buff for 30years and was still able to learn a few things here. Really enjoyed walks by through all the tanks, vehicles and artillery. There are items here you will see no where else in the world. Highly recommend this museum.

First time coming here and couldn’t believe I waited this long to learn our country’s history on war. From start to finish there’s a lot to absorb but there’s lots of amazing artifacts learn about. A must visit with friends, family and especially kids for them to understand why we are here.

CANADIAN MUSEUM OF NATURE REVIEWS

Entry is free on special days (I visited for free on Canada Day). It’s a lovely place with so much to look at under different sections. I personally think you need at least three 2-3 hour visits to cover everything if you want to take it all in properly. [the fossil section was the most fascinating for me] If you’re an architect or a design enthusiast—there’s a lovely titanium sculpture in the garden before you get in and they also have quite interesting staircases (+lobbies) in the museum.

A very interesting museum and a good one for kids because there is a lot to see! The building itself is absolutely beautiful. There is an excellent gift shop with a wide variety of things to purchase. There is a cafe here which has a good selection of things to eat or drink. The only thing I didn't appreciate was the bug exhibit. It was interesting but visually it wasn't really worth our time or the extra cost.

A great place to visit! The first floor is by far the best! There is also a kids area that is fantastic for the Littles! They get to play in an animal clinic and take care of the animals. Some other games geared to older kids/adults as well. The basement floor has an excellent bug display! Definitely recommend.

CANADA SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY MUSEUM REVIEWS

Newly renovated, this is one of the best museums I have ever visited! The place is bag, divided into many sections, wherein they have lots of interactive displays. The kids will definitely enjoy spending hours going through the different points of interests. They even have life demonstrations every day.

It was amazing, one of the best museums I have ever visited. Very well designed; time passes without you noticing. If you are visiting with kids, consider allocating 2 hours, especially for the Zoom section. There is also a spacious room equipped with changing tables and nursery chairs. Highly recommended.

It was my first time there since the big renovation years back. Great museum for families with many interactive exhibits of all kinds. The live demonstrations are always interesting. The original crazy kitchen is still there and the illusion still works great.
