Very nice museum with displays through the entire history of the area. I would like to see more information on the various peoples who immigrated to the area.

The Thunder Bay Museum is a great museum. Wheelchair accessibility is pretty good with a ramp up to the front door and elevator inside to access the the other floors. My impressions with the museum is that, for a small city, it is a modest museum with a decent collection sure to be of interest to children and adults. They do have a small gift shop that is worth checking out as well.

Covers I good bit of history about the area. The only problem is that it skips the history between the first people in the area and post-colonization. Seems fairly whitewashed. Friendly staff, some interesting exhibits.

George Catchpole

Great history of Thunder Bay

If you are new here, this place is a must visit for all the history enthusiasts. Connect and know Thunder Bay better! Don't forget the picture perfect background either !

Neat little museum. Love that they have a free on Tuesdays thing happening!

We went with 2 grandkids and found the place to be entertaining as well as informative. The local history and exhibits are great. The kids thought the dinosaur floor was good too.

I was there for dinner on my way back home. The food was excellent. The servers were very good as well. It was Thursday night and it seemed to be wing night. They served a different craft beer from Thunder Bay and Kenora. I will stop and eat there again when I can.

Emcee Sick1

Interesting and fun way to learn about our city and area and also hosts kids birthday parties for a reasonable price with fun craft activities the kids loved. All the people working there were great and its a perfect alternative to the usual birthday spots where you and your rugrats will learn something new. They also mentioned there are 'camps' for March and summer break. ????????????????????

Staff were knowledgable and friendly. The exhibits were interesting - I learned a lot about the shared heritage between TBay, ON and Houghton, MI. Good stuff! The museum store had some beautiful artwork and postcards at very accessible prices. Will definitely return again.

Cara O'Brien

Very affordable ($3), big place for the price, I like the set ups on the first floor. Interesting book selection.

Rumana Fardaush

Small museum, decent selection. Not much representation for indigenous people beyond the first floor...

Doug Anderson

It's a surprisingly good museum. We usually end up here when we are in town. I think it's free on Tuesdays or something? That's when we go. It's a fun way to spend an hour or so. Maybe two, tops.

Rachel Taylor

This was a great local museum to visit on my trip. Went on a Tuesday because admission was free. The staff was friendly and helpful, and it was a great way to spend the day. It could have had a larger First Nations section, however, and not everything was labelled, but otherwise it was a good trip. I especially loved the "Local Music History" section!

Alyssa Belanger
