    I went into the Halifax Citadel in November, and while it was free, but it was largely closed.
    The Halifax Citadel was free to enter in the middle of November when I visited. The staff was extremely friendly and informative. It was not very crowded when I appeared. Most of the indoor room attractions were closed, but guests were free to walk around the grounds inside and outside of the fort. There were many cannons and other such structures throughout the fort. There were also great views of Halifax and Dartmouth. There was a firing of the cannon at noon, but I was not present for this event. I parked directly outside of this attraction on the street.

    Fabulous Museum
    A fascinating museum, both in the main building and also on the Acadia ship outside in the harbour.
    Learned about the harbour explosion, though it took some digging to find out more about the 2000 who were killed.
    We weren’t fussed by the Titanic exhibition, where all the displays were closer together than anywhere else in the museum for some reason, so it was really crowded, especially with the ‘just off the cruise ship for the day’ folks in.
    Seemed to be making the most of the fact that Halifax was the nearest place when the liner sank.
    Cunard display was brilliant, as was Days of Sail, especially the creaking deck and moving backdrop on a cabin, which almost convinced us we were actually on a ship.

    Two times a winner.
    Took a senior group out to this gem of a museum twice. Once in November and again in January 2020. We had an excellent opening presentation by the director on the origins and history of Admiralty House. The other tour volunteers were thorough in their knowledge of the many display rooms and the history behind the artifacts. The topics on the main floor and basement included but not limited to a history Admiralty House and its role as a hospital; thorough history of the WRENS, the story behind the many ships bells on display, extensive collection of ship's plaques, the engagement with submarines since 1914, and marine communications strategies.
    Newly renovated, most of the upstairs are new displays. In January we went upstairs where the themes were:
    Admiralty House serving as Hospital during the Halifax Explosion
    HMCS Niobe – Canada’s 1st Atlantic Navy Ship
    Battle of the Atlantic and POWs
    World War I room
    North of 10: RCN Arctic Expedition; RCMP New Passage
    Age of Sail
    Highly recommended to anyone interested in the Canadian Navy or Halifax history. There were a lot of stories about individuals bringing a sense of engagement to the displays.
