Great museum with interesting changing special exhibits

Have been numerous times and always enjoyed it. I was worried when they said they were moving the museum from the downtown location years ago (thought they would shove it in some deserted warehouse in an industrial park or something) but they did a great...More

Great even for a Non War Person

Lots to see even if you think you might not like it-I went with my partners "military" family and found lots of interesting displays.

Educational Wonderland

Learned a lot about Canada's history and war efforts. The special exhibits are hit or miss. Wish the museum was a bit more interactive.

My experience at the Canadian War Museum

Educational teaches about many wars that happened in Canadian history like WWI and WWII. Tanks and War machines are present in the building. However, don't buy lunch there very expensive pricing.

Museum of War

It was a fun trip but, it needed more things to interact with like games, board games, and etc... But overall it was a fantastic trip if you want to know more of the trenches and the war.
