I didn't have much knowledge of Mr. Bell's connection with Baddeck, so I learned a lot. It took about an hour to see it all, so it's not terribly time consuming. Many interesting exhibits. Plus if you walk down by the front, you will have an amazing view of the lake.
This museum is a great place to visit. Alexander Graham Bell invented many things besides the telephone. During the summer there are programs for children such as kite making. A replica of the Silver Dart was added this week. Another great attraction along with hydofoil
Well laid out and interesting for visitors of all ages. Plenty parking. A lovely tearoom and again a great view of the Lake

So next time...

While we fully expected to learn about the telephone history, we had no idea of the other initiatives Bell was involved in, and it was very interesting to learn about those, too. The museum is well-interpreted with a variety of exhibits, and while they...

Modern, clean museum site with amazing exhibits! There are too many things to be mentioned, however it was our second visit - and it was still incredible. Prepare to spend three to four hours visiting, it's hard to tear yourself away. It's as interesting as the Smithsonian.
