What travellers are saying
- Connie FirtreeMilton Keynes, UK180 contributionsWe visited this venue on day 3 of an unscheduled 3 day stop in the city, having arrived 2 days earlier than planned.
It does have a stop for the local hop on / hop off bus outside, but this had stopped at the beginning of the month, so its either walk up the steep hill or a taxi from the town centre.
Very interesting inside on the 4 floor building, we were to stop for some refreshment in the cafe but the waiting queue was up to 1 hour.
Best advice is upon entering, go to the top floor and work down to the ground level and allow a lot of time to absorb all the history here.Written November 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Built deep into the rock of Signal Hill it the self guided tour is simple with staff available if your have any questions. Don’t miss the walking trials behind the centre.Written September 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul PSudbury, Canada52 contributionsWonderful experience. A quaint little village. The food was excellent. We had the fish and chips and tried their Iceberg beer. Both were fabulous. The flakiest fish I’ve ever eaten.Written September 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tonia Louis HHaliburton, Canada351 contributionsThis Church is a piece of history and very well preserved with some amazing stained glass windows. The only problem was that you could not go inside which was to bad.Written September 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- travelbob1New Windsor, NY1,135 contributionsEven a visit during the day is a worthwhile experience for a bite to eat, a drink and taking in the art and design of this small part of the city. Get there early in the day and you may see the 'clean up" from the party the night before.Written September 3, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Telah MOttawa, Canada337 contributionsAlthough it was not open for tours, we did go in before the Sunday service. The minister and a lady who worked there showed us around, including the "ghost" photo in the museum, pointed out the different parts of the architecture, and the stained glass the survived the great fire! They were, like most Newfoundlanders, very friendly!Written June 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Linda CBrighton, Canada50 contributionsWow, wow, wow. First night of arrival and what to do? Buy tickets to a show through Spirit of Newfoundland and get screeched in afterwards.
NO REGRETS WHAT SO EVER!
The meal, the entertainment, the ambiance, the kindness of the staff - remarkable and beyond words.
Being screeched in by Peter, cannot say enough how fortunate we were to “fall into” the Spirt of Newfoundland. Peter was so confident and quite the presenter of “why” and “early beginnings” of the history of screech and being screeched in. We were enthralled with hearing the history. Peter is the pinnacle if you would like to be screeched in.
We want to do it again, just for his presence, his embracing nature.
Don’t miss a show or this opportunity to be screeched in with the Cadillac of inductors!Written October 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Although the office was deluged by our passengers, they were able to deal with all our enquiries in a helpful informative way. Extra staff came to assist and distribute maps leaflets and personal advice. Help was given to ensure we could use local buses with the correct currency.
The Wi-Fi was so useful after days at sea.
Everyone loved St John’s as a result.
A big thank you.Written October 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rick FToronto, Canada34 contributionsThis is not only a good building to visit and get some history of St. John's, but the residential area is all part of the fascinating history of the City.Written July 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HPol PToronto, Canada206 contributionsLearn about the NFLD “narrow gauge” railway and coastal ship service. Good layout to follow with decent visuals.

- Amonavis7Toronto, Canada29 contributionsA very unique and important piece of history from WW2. The staff are all volunteers who are like encyclopedias with their knowledge of the memorabilia and significance of everything in the club. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend.Written June 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Justtravelling4Halifax, Canada366 contributionsWe stopped in here on our tour around of St. John's. It is next to the brewery and a quaint little spot that sells local products and crafts. The view and area are also worth the visit, it is so pretty here.Written September 2, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Debbie SMontreal, Canada52 contributionsAlexis' art is lovely. She offers space in her studio for other potters as well which must speak to her character as an artist.
