Reviews of Military Communications And Electronics Museum (Museum)

Daniel Dery

5-Agust-16: they currently have an ENIGMA machine. It's a small museum with very little tourists visiting. Some of the radars and machines are fascinating. It's incredible how massive these devices were before. There is also a section where they exposed medals for all deceased soldiers.

War is often the cause of much innovation and technological advancement. This unique collection of Items provides an excellent overview of the many ways of communication used in past and present wars, conflicts and peace keeping by Canadians around the world. Highly recommend for all ages.

I like all the cool old tech they've got on display. The entrance looks a lot like the entrance to the military base, so that was a bit confusing, but we found our way.

Totally awesome museum! The people involved with this museum have done an amazing job of displaying equipment that dates back beyond the first world war. Those who live in or visit Kingston should not miss any opportunity to visit the Military Communications Museum.

Michael Bettinger

Keep up the good work! A rare museum focusing on an obscure branch of the military. Everyone knows we need the comms guys, but not everyone knows what they are doing with only minor Hollywood mentions.

Amazing history of the signals branch of the military.

Stephen Arnold

We have a large number of museums in Kingston and I believe the Military Communications Museum is the largest. It recently went through a major enlargement in order to house the large trucks jammed full of communications equipment and big pieces of communications towers. Still there are all sorts of human size exhibits and displays from the original museum. Much use is made of mannequins wearing uniforms and communications equipment. The First World War is also widely represented in artifacts, photographs and artwork. This visit to the Museum was part of March break. The kids and grandkids were able to make take-aways such as Murney Towers and bracelets representing Morse code letters. They could also engage in activities where they could connect electronic and electrical items to make things happen.

Marco Tijam

A wealth of military knowledge for those that like it.

Trent Humphrey

Great canadian history

Terry Hastings

Great displays - very informative - lots to look at.

This museum was a decent little museum before. Now, it's even better. For a place that's by donation, it's great. There are some awesome artefacts. If you're a fan of all things military or specifically a signals and engineering nerd (like me), it's a must. Some of the video and interactive displays weren't working during my visit, but they are a newer addition to the place, so I expect they need to work out the kinks.

Ann Bridge

Will definitely return again for a visit.

Doug Lein

My Dad was a R.C.E.M.E. in WW II and they have a section dedicated to his unit.

This is definitely a 10 - great displays showing years of evolution in the Canadian Military Communications and Electronics Branch. VVV
