Longer than I thought. - Plan to take a full day for the visit. If you can, go eat in the middle of the visit to take a break, because fatigue takes over and we went through the last kiosks more quickly.

Brilliant - A Great War museum that is built like a bunker and feels that way when you go inside. The shinning star of the collection is Hitler’s cars. Most of the vehicles are from all over the place and very electric mix. The windows are amazing on the outside as it spells out in Morse codes, Lest we forget’.

Great War museum! - The museum was amazing! We visited last week and it’s probably one of the best war museums I have been to. The way it’s set out through all the stages of war throughout Canada’s history is really well done. There was lots to look at and read for all age groups, although smaller children may find parts of it a little boring. The admission price was also very fair and reasonable considering how much there is to see. The only downside was that, as we visited during the week, there were A LOT of school children — literally buses full of them! I have 4 children myself so it didn’t bother me, but it’s definitely worth considering if you prefer somewhere quieter during your visit.
