Reviews of Oshawa Museum (Museum)

Lesley Riedstra

Even though it wasn't open, we still had a chance to check out the buildings and read the various signs posted to get a sense of the history.

My daughter and I had a fun time at the family day event. The staff was super friendly and cheerful, they talked with and showed us the different clothes and the artefacts. Thank you for the fun family day

You will find yourself on a promenade along the beach, cool lake breeze blowing on your face, great pier view and lots of time to unwind from all the stress and problems, bring your kids and friends and families for a summer BBQ!

Antiquarian

They need to make the experience more realistic to the period. The Curator wouldn't accept any historical lighting display suggestions for the houses.

Annette Westgarth

Usually I jump off the pier with my phone in a waterproof bag. I find more pokemon when I'm actually in the water than when I'm on the pier.

Dylon Angi

Great place for tours

You can walk around and explore. There is a huge lake next to it. Nice park with huge trees.

Stella Blue

One of the few places that make Oshawa special.

Carla Sinclair

This place always has something to offer when I visit. Interesting conversations with knowledgeable staff, opportunity to dig through the archives, engaging public programs and of course the pleasure of walking through exhibitions in these beautiful historic buildings. It's always nice to see a great view of lake Ontario as a bonus!

Sundas Imran

Very nice people running the place. They dress up in historic dresses to fit in with the atmosphere. Has a gift shop that sells coffee and hot chocolate for about a $1.00.

Great place for a stroll

Saleem Jessa

Surprisingly it was alright. This place showed us how the first few settlers in Oshawa lived. So the houses are over 150 years old. They did say the houses are just a bit older than Canada. But it was an interesting experience. Life was difficult 150 years ago to say the least... This place is good to take the kids. The staff is friendly. I am not sure about the prices because we went with a group. They even have audio tours in the case that there isn't a guide. 4 stars because I feel the tour was a bit short and there wasn't enough to see.

Amazing! I just moved to Oshawa and wanted to learn about the city and its history. The staff are really knowledgeable and super nice.

Chars Veldt

It was the loveliest experience! I will definetly come back again! Beautiful, intimate Victorian tea and tour of historical home. Wish I could rate this higher than 5 stars!

It's a set of three small historical houses which were built on the Lakeside in the 1800's. The main house has a tiny gift shop, offices, and a few paintings and artifacts donated from some of the first families of Oshawa. Five bucks per person gets you a tour of the other two houses- one a schoolhouse (very neat! Kids got a kick out of it -"what's a Dunce cap?" ????) and the other the "rich" home of an old prominent family. The museum is located right next to the beach and there's a playground with splash pad, the harbour, and paths to walk down if you want to spend the rest of the afternoon enjoying the outdoors. Parking is free, and lot is within a block of the museum. Not a bad way to pass an afternoon. Staff is very friendly and laid back.

Rebecca Ste. Croix

Very Disappointed. I drove 45 minutes on a Sunday to check out the museum because the website says they are open till 4pm. Arrived to find all the doors were locked and no one was around. Obviously someone didn’t show up for work that day.

Thaban Rajah

It's a nice place

Remi Gagnon

Cool and if you are lucky enough to catch our Canadian navy on site you are in for a treat

Harsh Mohanka

The place is okay to spend a little while when visiting the lake but Not to be visited purposely for it. Its small but the attendants are really friendly

Mario Diaz

Nice place for a walk. But the pier closes in the winter.

Tiffany Christina

Oshawa pier is a great place for locals to go on a nice day. It is dog friendly, so lots of animals will be running around and walking the pier. Although the water is usually green, it is a great place to go for peace of mind and even some cute pics! Big boats drive by constantly which is great for watching huge machines moving through the water????
