Canadian War Museum, Ottawa

A great place to go to yourself or with family. A lot of different exponents that are worth checking out. They tell the story of the greater conflict through the contribution of Canada. Lots of great uniforms, photos and vehicles in this place. Plus the architecture is definitely something that draws the eye. I highly recommend the war museum as an Ottawa must.

Amazing museum at a really cheap price. It was around 19$ with taxes and if you want to see everything you really have to take the whole day. We came around 13:00 and took a dinner there and had to leave because it closed at 20:00 and we even had to skip some stuff! There's so much stuff to see from different era and the last room with all the vehicles was really impressive. There's a small area to commemorate the dead which is a nice touch as well.

Excellent! This museum is a great exhibit of Canada’s military contributions throughout history. From a central area you can choose different paths to follow that take you through different eras (recommend time needed to complete each room is given on the map). There is lots to see and do for people of all ages. As well, the museum hosts special exhibits a few times a year. These exhibits are always interesting and worth visiting. The last one I saw (Highlander exhibit) was fabulous! It displayed different weapons, dress, art, etc. and traced the history right up to present day. I’ll be looking forward to the next special exhibit!

Building looks big but very easy to navigate, you can follow the path easily to get the full experience. A good museum to spend some time exploring and learning. Last section covers Canadian efforts in the twenty-first century so it isn’t just ‘old times’, it’s a reminder of what has been happening in the last few decades.

A truly life changing experience. Visited on Rememberance Day, 2019. Thank you to all The Fallen Soldiers who gave their precious lives so I can sit here and write this review. The building and its exhibits are something one must walk through to absorb the weight of the sacrifices made for our Canadian freedoms, and the freedoms enjoyed by our Allies. At the time, Highlanders was the featured exhibit and honestly it was educational and shocking all at once; I even got to hold (not wield) a Highlander sword. Wear your poppies please, God bless!
