Reviews of Matthew Legacy (Psychiatrist)

Julie White

Very interesting exhibit!

Kairowastaken _

Very cool and historical

Wade Watts

Pretty cool but only a replica of a replica and would be nice if more accessible.

Louise Power

Boat was totally enclosed in dry dock for repair.but we were allowed on board

Christel de Vries

Great experience, loved that we could actually go abord!

Rita Cherkewski

Enjoyed the ease with which they explained the story.

Mathieu Masquelier

A fake boat that can't navigate. The lower part (the hold of the boat) is closed. You have to use your cell phone light to be able to see the inside of the rooms...more less no explanations. The personal is tired and not motivated to help or inform you.

Harrison Pokrandt

Great info on the boat! Get to go on board and Wasnt too busy (september) guides where also there

Mathieu Taggart

Just for the boat visit, it is totally worth it!

Daniel Harris

Its a small museum, but the star of the show is the full-size replica of The Matthew (Cabot's ship)

Dawn Cutler-Stuckey

Great tour! Lady was very informative and answered any questions we had and even took our pictures!

Simon C

There's a small exhibit and access to go on the Matthew

Edward Power

Closed for season. Even gift shop closed. Hmmmm. So I found some nice old buildings with a cannon plus got some crab on the wharf.

Shannon Williams

Ship has been in dry dock for a long time so really didnt get to see the ship whole. Staff were very knowledgeable when you asked questions but if you didnt ask questions they weren't forthcoming. $7/person they should have been doing educational tours.

Wanda Arnett

Great to see a sailing ship from the past and able to walk on board to see first hand how the sailors living spaces would have been

Ali Baigy

Very cool replica of a 15th century ship sailed for the new world

Kevin Connolly

Offers the perfect outport views and feelings and nicely ties in some NL history. Beautiful area!

Theo Beauchamp

This was a lot of fun! The history of this ship is interesting and you get to actually walk around the replica of the Matthew.

Scott

Replica boat

Andrew Power

Great exhibit to catch a glimpse of the past.

Clowie Pelley

Chantal And Art Perry

Brilliant reproduction of the Matthew

B Brooks

Very cool and knowledgeable

Denys Zlobin

It was OK. Felt like a tourist trap.

Gina Bunger

Amazing, real boat replica. Beautiful wood.

Ric Macnl

Great visit. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and the ship is a full scale replica of the first “Mathew”.

Alan Steed

Well organized.. With great information!

Benjamin Madill

Such a cool boat and Museum

Jordan Smith

The museum itself was small, except for a giant room containing the 1:1 scale replica of the Matthew. This was not the one that sailed over from Bristol in 1997. This replica is more historically accurate. Unfortunately, the museum is unsure if they will put the ship back on the water or permanently indoors. Until then, there is no access to see the hold.

Marco Ballarin

(Translated) Site historically important for Canada and especially Terranova to which the Canadians hold a lot. (Original) Sito storicamente importante per il Canada e soprattutto Terranova a cui i Canadesi tengono Molto.

Shelley Smith

Nice to ce. Too bad that it can't be outside. The self guided tour was very informative.

janah fleury

The self guided tour is fun and a informative. I really liked that you are able to climb aboard the ship and walk around.

Dwayne Vokey

Awesome place for an old world experience

Philip Ford

Unfortunately the boat is indoors now, but it's presented in an informative and useful way.

Dean Whalen

Worth visiting to appreciate the 15th century transportation. Good historical exhibits.

Karen “kokopelli” Haehn

Fantastic experience! 2nd I visited The Matthew - last time was in 2011 while it was still out dockside.. Bonavista staff does an incredible job !

Glen Wolgemuth

Absolutely fantastic. The reproduction makes you feel like you are onboard and our guide was a fountain of knowledge.

Maggie Kallion

Interesting museum about the ship, the Matthew, and the story leading up to the voyage. You can walk onto the ship & explore it too.

Elisabeth Duggan

A magnificent place to get a taste of history around John Cabot through the ship called the Matthew. The replica is kept indoor, so no matter the weather it is a nice to step onto it.

Andrew Rideout

It was amazing to see! Also, went on a boat tour, the sights were great our kids enjoyed seeing the puffins and whales. Would recommend for everyone.

Di Marcko

If you love ships and history you'll love this!

Dean Young

Very interesting

Hannah H

Turned up just before close on the off season. Met by the wonderful Alan who gave us an incredible tour of the replica of the Matthew.

Gerry Cahill

Excellent a must see was really impressed

J. DiFederico-Rab

The website and brochure say there is a guided tour. I arrived, paid and went through the exhibit. No guided tour. Just some signs to read on your own. When I spoke to the woman at the desk, she said the information is outdated. Not sure why they didn't update their website. If I had know I was paying to read the same information I could read off Wikipedia, I wouldn't have gone.

Mike Wiseman

Amazing experience and very friendly staff members :)

Amanda Robichaud

Being able to climb aboard the ship was the best part

Danielle Best

Amazing

Shirley Watson

Loved the history, and the replica was built to exact measurements of the original. It was intetesting to see how the building was built to accommodate the mast and sails of the ship. Thoroughly enjoyed entering this replica of John Cabot's ship.

Philip V

One of the highlights of our trip was seeing The Mathew. They built an amazing replica for the 500th anniversary of its sailing into Bonavista, and the fact that the ship can still sail, and be lowered into the water again shows you how ingenious the design of the museum is. 'O bueno vista! '

Jeffrey Dawson

Full sized tall ship that you can get onboard. Very cool.

trish rideout

Richard Weigand

Great place to go to for the history of this area.

jenny short

Awesome piece of our Newfoundland History!

Keith Falardeau

Very interesting exhibit. Love the replica of the boat.

Patrick Bättig

(Translated) “Small and expensive” The museum is relatively small and the highlight is the replica of the ship with which Matteo Caboto discovered Newfoundland. The small exhibition is nicely structured but quite modest, especially if you compare it to the rather high price. The exhibits were seen in a very short time. We would probably give the museum next time. (Original) “Klein und teuer” Das Museum ist relativ klein und das Highlight ist der Nachbau des Schiffes mit dem Matteo Caboto Neufundland entdeckt hat. Die kleine Ausstellung ist schön aufgebaut aber halt doch recht bescheiden insbesondere wenn man das dem doch recht hohen Preis gegenüberstellt. Man hat die Ausstellungsexponate in sehr kurzer Zeit gesehen. Wir würden uns das Museum wohl das nächste Mal schenken.

Ross Penton

Great bit of history. Just not much to it.

CC W

A wonderful place to learn some history. The full-scale replica boat to explore is also amazing. Gift shop was nice too.

Eugene Papail

Great place to visit

Samantha Stables

showed up to only be told theyre booked up for the day which is fine but there should be something stating on the website that you should call and book before hand. the lady at the desk was not that friendly and overall we felt very unwelcomed. also google doesnt have the right operating times.

Richard Flower

Nice
