Sinister Orzo

Absolutely spectacular, this museum might not seem like much from the outside. But once you step in, you enter a whole new world, a world full of knowledge and facts. The staff is very friendly and helpful, they are willing to answer any questions and even give you some extra knowledge. The areas are very well organized such as trenches, artillery, naval ships, and much more. I seriously recommend this place, plus the admission fee is very cheap.

Bogdan Kowalenko

Very unique and intresting

I can't believe I've waited so long to visit this place!! I took my son towards the end of summer as he's very into wartime vehicles. This place does not disappoint! As we arrived, we were greeted by a very sweet older gentleman whom you could tell was very informed and enthusiastic about the history of the place. All of the displays were very well presented with all sorts of very interesting historical facts. My son was really into the barracks that they have set up within the building. It adds a very realistic element in showcasing what soldiers actually experienced during their time of war.

Jacob Lazoren

As a volunteer at the museum, I really recommend going. It is absolutely amazing to learn about Canada's history. There is a little cost, but well worth it. With a knowledgeable staff, they will try to answer any questions you have. The museum's open house was on August 4th, it turned out awesome, you need to go next year!

Max Mauler

As great as always, the trench is my favourite part.

Shanna Howse

We spent a great deal of time here. Learned a lot and had hands on learning experience as well. The volunteer walked with us through the whole museum and answered all of our questions. Would recommend to anyone. We had a great time and will be back!

An amazing local museum with historical artifacts, uniforms and vehicles of a much larger scale! You really get a good bang for your buck here. Also the layout of museum makes it very interactive and engaging!

Timothy Withers

Absolutley fantastic! Exceeded our expectations. Don was a great host and a wealth of information. Displays were very well done, organized and informative. Keep up the great work.

Errol Anderson (Poeticscribbler)

This is a very cool place, lots to see and learn. Seems like they recently did some much needed lighting and painting work, and as far as I know its still free. Four stars because there is always room for improvements.

Lees M

Surprisingly large exhibit with attentive hosts/curators/educators to answer questions. Would love to know when the public can have a go in the jeep though. Maybe that's just me :-)

Tim Philp

Douglas Brown

Amazing collection of Canadian Military equipment. So out of the way and little-known but really worthwhile for school trips or weekend visits

Franklyn Petro`

What a hidden gem! This is one of the most awesome museums that nobody's ever heard of. If you can find it (it's in an obscure part of Brantford, and signage in the town is somewhat lacking), you'll discover it is jammed to the rafters with all manner of artifacts ranging from early Native weaponry to modern day peace-keeping. When I say jammed, I mean JAMMED. It's not one of those museums that are long on vistas and short on artifacts. There is so much stuff here, and so much of it can be touched, it's incredible. The interactive WW I trench display will bring a tear to your eyes, as will the letters and photos of a WW II bomber crewman lost on ops in 1944. All around the walls are photos of local men and women who served in the World Wars and it's humbling to have them looking down on you while you walk about the place. It is well laid out, wheelchair accessible and very kid-friendly. Mr. Richard Shaver is the chairman of the museum, an excellent guide, font of information, and charming conversationalist. He clearly loves this place, and thanks to him, I do now too. There is even a reading room library of hundreds of books on military history topics that you can page through. In a town that is rich with history of all kinds this was an overwhelming experience. HIGHLY recommended.

Ken DuFour

Very good

Riley Herriman

Fantastic, staff is knowledgeable and displays are great.

Edward Claxton

This military museum has a marvelous presentation of materials from the War of 1812, the Boer War, WWI, WWII and Korea. It has vehicles, uniforms, and special areas depicting different aspects of Canadian military history. It is more than worth the price of admission. A gem in a small city.

Mike Eisenhofer

Took my grand son he realy enjoyed himself so did i we are going back in August

Chris Jones

We had an outstanding time at the museum. Bill and the staff were extremely engaging. We will be back again soon.

Rachel Mannen

My Grandmother wanted to visit their beautiful museum before Remembrance Day and they delivered. Mr.and Mrs. Ion were the best tour guides, their knowledge and passion was easily conveyed through their stories and overall excitement throughout our tour. The artifacts and historical layout were well presented covering all local hero's from the past up to present. Thank you for taking your time to find information on my Grandfather and ensure Grandma was able to have the time explore the full museum.

CAROL DROESKE

History in this place is awesome

Greg Gardner

Real hidden jem. The musiem is located in an industrial park so when your on your way you question if your in the right place... rest assured you are! Its a great representation of Canada's military history from our earliest beginigs to modern day. There is a collection of artillery, small arms and vehicals. What really seperates this place from other musieums is most of the exhibits are in fully functional condition! Beautifully restored by voulenteers. There are also impressive collections of models, uniforms and other millitaria. Admission is free but please leave a donation.

Jan Burgess

I was amazed at how much history and artifacts were under this one roof. I had thought it was small, but Wow, there was so much there. I have attached some teaser pics that I texted to my husband from there, but this is a 'must-see' for history buffs. There is soooooo much to see and learn. Staff were very knowledgeable but let you go through at your leisure. There were also seats if you wanted to have a short break too.

Carl Lobis

This is a very interesting place that has a lot of original specimens. I was intrigued by the interior of the "ancient" electronics they used for wireless communication. There is lots to read. You can spend at least 2 hours.
