How to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse, October 28, 2017, 1 - 4 pm. Another example of why the Stratford Pert Museum is such an asset to our community. Fun, games, and how to assemble an actual survival kit.

Cute small museum. It held the Justin Bieber exhibit (since he originated from the area).

Must visit one you are in Stratford.

This little museum has heart! Very reasonable entry cost and they work hard to make their displays interesting. Change it up each year sometimes in conjunction with the plays going on with the festival which brings more life into the plays. Some displays can be interactive depending upon the year and subject. Definitely worth a visit!

Chris Rickett

Great exhibits and storytelling.

Rob Stiles

Reasonably priced

Mark Keogh

It was an interesting and unique experience

Jim MacDonald

Small but informative

Sue Pieters

A great place to learn about Justin Bieber BUT also a great place to learn about the history or Perth County. Who knew Janice Joplin's guitarist was from Stratford?!

Adam Olivero

Wow a big collection of history is in this building. Don't let the size fool you. It has a big addition on the back. Each room is a different exhibit as well. Beautiful museum and worth the visit. Very reasonable admission prices too.

John & Beth Colling

Great little man museum

David Vivian

Very interesting and so close to home

My friends and I drove from Ohio to see the Justin Bieber exhibit and were disappointed to see that there was a power outage when we arrived. HOWEVER, the staff was EXTREMELY AWESOME and gave us a flashlight tour! We were able to take pictures and see Justin's awards/paraphernalia.

Tristan Urry

Fantastic museum to spend an afternoon in while in Stratford!

Michael Rayner

The former house is beautiful and the staff were very welcoming. Compared to museums in surrounding counties it is quite small and the exhibits aren't very engaging considering the rich and diverse history of the city and county. Unfortunately I didn't get to explore the trails outside due to poor weather. I would like to check them out sometime. If you're in town and you're looking for an indoor activity it might be worth a look (the admission is affordable) but I wouldn't go out of the way to visit.

David MacIsaac

Spacious viewing .... Exhibition of life in the early days.

Karen Great

???????????? went for Justin Bieber exhibit and loved it????????????

Mia Mueller

What a gem this museum is! Visited to experience the Justin Bieber with my daughter. The staff was welcoming and helpful, the displays were both interesting and eye catching. The chalkboard where visitors can leave messages for JB is a great idea. Large variety of merchandise available from low to high prices. We also enjoyed the railroad exhibit on the other side.

Shireen Sasani

Fun place to stop by while you're in Stratford! They've got lots to see, and it's right on the outskirts of town. Justin Bieber exhibit recently opened up so it'll be a memorable place to visit in 2018!

Anna Chahill

I’d highly recommend if you’re in the area! Staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating. Booked for a guided tour- turned out there was a glitch in the system, but we were still accommodated without any issues. Peg was our guide, and was very knowledgeable and thorough- we visited for the Anne Frank tour. She even gave us other recommendations for what to do and where to visit around town. Lots of great history there, and you’ll find some very cool things! If I could give this more than 5 stars, I totally would. Definitely visiting again :)

Joel Erickson

Pretty small museum with little to do. Kids (age 7-12) lost interest quickly.

William Foxboro

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The permanent collection is excellent; the visiting exhibitions, especially one on Inuit art, were engaging, and don't miss the working print shop with a 19th-century manual printing press!

Danielle Faulkner

It's ok. Worth doing once.

Alain Desroches

Went there for the Narnia exposition. It was super cool! I love the way we had to go in the closet to get in the exposition. Really nice setting! :)

Stu Hall (BritHikesOntario)

Fairly quiet (in October) little museum that featured a collection of quilts depicting imagery of life in Canada, and further afield on the main floor. In a separate room were displays on the history of newspaper printing in the region, and my favourite, of Stratford's firefighting history. Check out the binder which details and exhaustive list of all fire events from the town. Upstairs, are a selection of costumes and artifacts from plays, including many from Narnia. There is some WWI history here, too. There is a small gift shop.

Wayne Newton

This locally-focused museum gets a big boost with its Justin Bieber exhibit. The tribute to the international superstar's childhood and music career is in place indefinitely. Jammed by fans from all over the world when it first opened, it's quieter now. New items do arrive from Bieber's grandparents and the singer himself. The rest of the museum is standard rural Ontario fare, highlighted by firefighting equipment and newspaper printing. Spotted nothing from the famous Stratford Shakespeare Festival.

Katie Caissie

It was great except for Justin Bieber...ew

Terence Gui

The new outdoor stage is beautiful!

Nharo Africa

We had Bieber Fever.

misty's singing vlog #bieleber #ARMY

I just loved it ..

Ian McKenzie

Definitely not the biggest museum I've been to, but it's a decent price for entry (with a discount for students) and there's a good amount of things to see. I was interested to see that there's actually an electric car charging station out front. The main attraction when I was there was their Justin Bieber exhibit (he's from Stratford). Not huge JB fans, but we went to see it since we were in the area anyway.

Tom Gee

We were delightfully surprised by this unassuming local museum. The displays are excellent: informative without being pedantic. A great range of objects covering the wide history of the area. And while I started with very little interest in the Justin Bieber display, having never even heard one of his songs, it was engaging display and by the end of it I appreciated him much more as a person than as a stereotyped "bad boy." And he most certainly can sing. Plus, they have a STEAM CAR! That would be worth the trip alone.

Elena Mynayeva

Wonderful exibit!

Shreya Chhikara

Justin Bieber step to stardom

Debbie Davies

It was a great experience to go there with my international students

Ben V

If you're in town visiting the theater, why not make the quick trip over to the Stratford Perth Museum? The museum is filled with stories of the past, from the history of the Grand Trunk Railway, to the early farmers and settlers who built the city from the ground up. If you're drawn to the museum because of the Justin Bieber Exhibit, don't forget to check out everything else out. You won't regret it.

Rachel Chartrand-Kettler

awesome one. ????????????????????????

Bely Macpherson

Modest, compact but with aspirations. Well organized and attended outdoor food and drink event on the grounds on Father's day

Lucas Mencia

Good museum haha

Wilson Krüger Mariano

Very interesting place. There's an exposition there now about Justin Bieber which is good if you're a fan. I would say the rest is a lot more entertaining/interesting.

Alan Hamberg

S G

Beautiful location. Charge station for EV's. A lot of local history inside. Decent price for entry. Not crowded. Friendly staff.

Stan F

A must see especially if you go to the Stratford Festival. Accurate and appealing presentation of the history of Startford and Perth County. Admission is very reasonable and the staff are courteous and very knowledgeable of the exhibits and what they represent.

Justyn Roy

Was here to charge an electric vehicle on a stat holiday - unfortunately they were closed - great property though good upkeep.

Tao Fu

From the first song began to like him

Iremnur Dermenci

So beutiful

Robert Widdowson

Excellent Local Museum. The curator was on hand, and she was very friendly and knowledgable. We chatted for several minutes about various topics. The exhibits on the local railway, the local military regiment, and the Stratford Festival were superb. Highly recommended as a pleasant outing.

Unknown 360 no scope

If you are Justin Bieber fun then mast see place!

Tariq Maqbool

not a museum worth the drive

Betty Chandler

Lovely hidden patio in the back.

7$ entry fee but its worth visiting and it is a very interesting place to learn history of old education system, art and sports in early.

David Ducharme

Well layed out unique displays that fit the theme of each segment

Rena Spevack

A lovely space with so much to see. Local history with a mix of current like Justin Bieber's rise to fame and older stories like how the Stratford festival started. Definitely worth a visit!

David Horowitz

This is a gem of a museum. They do a wonderful job bringing together interesting exhibits. It's also a bonus that many times a local student is there as a docent and share knowledge on the current exhibit. Great place.

Melanie MacKinnon

Clean building. Friendly staff.

David Iley

Very interesting, especially the rail road portion of the exhibit.

Courtney Smith

Ali Abbas

Its an okay museum, since it is small not much to see... also they need some decent ventilation, some places you could feel that there was no air at all.

Steviel Kineveil

Lottsa fun

Jeff Bragg

great displays on ww1 and local history

Caitlyn Rae

Good look at the local history. The new management in the last few years has done a great job rotating interesting exhibits and teaming with the Festival to have fun displays.

gail young

Thank you for making our visit memorable

Great

Angela

Doug Marriott

Great experience, brought back lots of memories, very authentic, visiting from Calgary

Craig Eastabrook

Catered a whole morning for my class. Brought out primary sources from World War 2. Let my class handle and discuss the artifacts. Really impressed. Thanks for a great learning experience.

Mary Anne Moore

Fun for the whole family

Paul Mann

We were pleasantly surprised by our visit to the Justin Beiber Museum in Stratford, Ontario. So many real items and the actual awards, along with a strong representation of Justin's positive messages made our trip worthwhile. We were surprised and a bit disappointed that we were told that Justin Beiber was there at the museum about 2 hours before our arrival!

Jana Labean

Beautiful building and a fun museum within

Catherine Uffen

disappointing. rooms that could be full of furniture and farm implements from the era were full of commercial wall sized posters for the Festival Theatre (better exhibits in Stratford) and a science exhibit that had nothing to do with farm life in Perth County My guests were disapointed too. We drove to Toronto Pioneer Village.

LYNDA WATSON

This little museum is a very nice venue. We saw the ART QUILTS show recently and were absolutely amazed at the quality and creativity of the work displayed there. Please keep presenting such wonderful talented artists.
