What travellers are saying
- HEATHER s1 contributionAuschwitz exhibition is excellent- took 2.5 hours. Take your time. Beware of automatic doors to ROM. They will crush you if you are slow. They do not sense if someone is in the doorway and will not reopen. We had to pull them away from a family member who was using a mobility device and got trapped by closing doors.Written February 1, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TravelozzyBicester, UK1,091 contributionsI’m not a well versed hockey fan, I mean i know who Gretzky and Tim Horton are but that’s about it, but the family love the game and wanted to visit, so I happily came along.
I found it really interesting and very cool! Even I came over a bit ‘fan girl’ when we got to pose with the Stanley cup!
Brilliant insight into Canada’s national sport - definitely worth an hour or so of your time and great value too.Written January 9, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You get to see the different parts of canada, including different cities and geographies. Staff was nice and helpful, al around a great experience!Written March 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CMCKent, UK1,175 contributionsCame here on a Sunday and entry was free. You can spend an hour here even if you dont have a particular interest in footwear. I walked around looking at displays without reading much of the history. They have a small gift shop at the entrance with footwear related gifts.Written June 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RonL40Utica, NY3,707 contributionsThe campus of the museum is beautifully designed with reflection pool and international-quality architecture. We visited on a day when only the first floor of the museum was open. The staff were exceptionally kind and open; several docents offered us interesting insights to the work. The galleries are easily navigated, containing a wide variety of Islamic art, from the Mideast to Indian and beyond. Wide historical and topical range with several very interesting contemporary works.Written May 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ian B1 contributionI very highly recommend this museum! It's one large room full of fascinating history & exhibits that would probably take most people 1.5hrs to thoroughly walk through. The staff (Kyle) was amazing with lots of insightful information and tidbits. Great family time followed by lunch in Liberty Village.Written September 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Walter TPhiladelphia, PA244 contributionsSmall train museum devoted to the great history of steam and diesel railways. Make sure you take the tour which is given by experienced train engineers and fully knowledgeable about the history of rail. The rail yard is scattered with historic rail cars for the true train fan. Takes under an hour and across from the CN tower.Written November 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ArtsyGalBaltimoreMaryland895 contributionsSmall museum rich in stories, craftsmanship, and beauty. Special exhibit on commissioned masks (pandemic) highlighted artistic talents and creativity. Collection richi n ethnic context with explanatory videos. Gift shotp offers range of choices for every pocketbook.Written October 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CJTravelerTexasTexas9,276 contributionsThe Toronto Police Museum and Discovery Centre, located on the first floor of Toronto Police Headquarters, does an adequate job of conveying the history and mission of law enforcement in Toronto. The museum hadn’t changed much since I last visited it 15 years ago. I noticed that the lighting seemed poorer than before and was not conducive to photography. Admission is free but donations are encouraged. Persons interested in the history of policing would enjoy visiting this museum.Written October 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Chris WSydney, Australia188 contributionsIt was ok but it’s not a railway museum, it’s a gaming arcade jammed into the roundhouse with a bar for parents to use whilst there kids go off and play video games, pinball machines etc.Written August 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sarahellen MBedford, UK120 contributionsOld Town Toronto, so spacious to walk along this pier. Inside is the market but it was closed on the day we went. It is good to go with a loca they know all the ins and oouts of their town. Worth goingWritten July 25, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- b0b55russellOrillia, Canada1,170 contributionsThe last week or so the media has not been kind to the sugar industry as it alleges that they manipulated people in believing that sugar was good for your diet. This industry blamed other food and not sugar to cause weight problems, etc. The museum is right in front of the manufacturing plant and you can't miss it from the street. Parking is terrible in the area. Open to the public and appears popular for school tours. This plant has been here for years and Redpath is a popular name brand within Canada. Despite being here for years the water front has changed over the years with condos, harbour front, etc. Many industries are stopping factory tours but this place is still going strong. Not one of your more popular museum but manage to stay open because of limited public demand.Written September 16, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nan S1 contributionUnique art gallery for the art, history of the building, and layout.
Friendly gentleman talked with us about the artist and different pieces.
Thought provoking and free! Glad we stopped and thanks to everyone who makes this possible for the public.Written April 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was nice to return 5 years later and check out the locomotives and other displays they have.
I love that the museum is on the site of the former roundhouse. It's very much in keeping with the area and it is good to see the engines lined up around the turntable.
If you are a fan of railways and history then this is a great place to visit if you are in the area.Written November 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
