(Translated) I had a closer look at the contents of the Korean War. There is no entrance fee and there is a donation fee. It was advantageous for me ~ (Original) 한국전쟁에관한내용이 있어서 더욱 유심히 봤었네요. 입장료은 따로없고 도네이션비용을 받아요. 나름 유익했습니다~

Very good museum with interesting facts, displays and personal stories from wartime. (Reduced opening days during the off-season.)

Awesome wee collection of military artefacts and stories from various conflicts Canada has been involved in. Donation entry, managed by volunteers. We spent about an hour here. Recommended for anyone interested in military history

Laura Bensler

What a great experience. Took a group of young girls and they were excellent with them. They had tonnes of things they could touch and try on as well as many other pieces to look at. It was a great experience.

I've been on two field trips to this museum with my kids' classes. I've learned a few new things each time and would gladly go back because this little museum is packed with history and memorabilia and information. One thing that stood out was a medal, I think it was a Purple Heart, or something similar, and a write up about the man who received it. Neat things to have on display for all generations to see an appreciate. I highly recommend taking your children to see this museum. History is important and visiting places like this is the best way to connect to the past and make it come alive for the younger generations. I found the staff here really great with the kids too! They've knowledgable and really trying to make it fun and interesting!

Great place to learn about the history of Canadian military including uniforms, guns, etc. Hey you can even try some of the uniforms and take pictures! Entry to this place is by donation. The staff was super friendly and eager to answer any questions we had about the different exhibits. Dedicate yourself at least 1 hour when visiting.

Visiting Military Museum allowed me to remember my grand farther and appreciate how much their generation done for us. This is the place to bring my child to connect and commemorate our past/roots. The tree without strong roots won't survive.
