If you haven’t been here before, you absolutely have to come check it out. The dioramas are so intricate and detailed - we were genuinely impressed with each display. They had captions for the dioramas depicting the wars, and the attention to detail was just incredible. A lot of the dioramas were interactive and had buttons you can press. Some buttons would move trains, propellers, cars, fish, and lights. Other dioramas would have their lighting change from sunset to sunrise, and you could see the stars at night. We stayed here for an hour and a half, and to be honest, I probably could’ve stayed longer. This is great for all ages and it was definitely a sight to see!

This is a hidden gem in Victoria. IMO, the best museum in the city. If you only have a day or even half a day in Victoria, allocate at least 30 minutes to breeze through the exhibits. I'd recommend about an hour to fully grasp the amount of work that went on creating the exhibits. There is so much detail to comprehend. My favorite is the outer space exhibit right at the start of the tour.

This place is great! Price is fairly affordable, and the detail in these dioramas is insane! If you don't care for details, you might blow through this place pretty quickly. But if you take your time to look at all the intricate details you can easily spend an hour or more here. Some of the displays have interactive buttons that make things happen on the diorama itself which is pretty cool. I think the only thing that would be cool is if they had some modern-day dioramas as well as all the old historic stuff.
