St. Catharines Museum

A wonderful little museum packed with local history. Lots of interactive displays and engaging little games. The museum guide we met at the door was the kindest man I have ever met in my entire life. I truly enjoyed spending a few minutes with him. Fully accessible for people with disabilities and assistive devices…even the observation deck!!!! 10/10 would recommend to anyone passing through St Catharines. Great place, great people.

I enjoyed visiting the site and have a view of the Big Ship going through the Canal. The gate closing, filling water into the canal, and the later opening of the gate to allow the ship pass to the other side of the Canal. The lifting bridge was again another good memory of this trip.

If you want see an important part of history and a major economic route, this is the place, like the Panama Canal, the Welland Canal is a very important trade and shipping route for the Canada and US economy.
