Very interesting

Elise Moore

Lovely set of interesting buildings with displays. The house has one room of furnishings. The two museum buildings have excellent explanations and displays. Upstairs is an eclectic display if period items. Well done!

It's a nice collection of well preserved/restored buildings that tells the story of the old Newfoundland/ town of Bonavista. A great way to spend the afternoon when the weather is unpredictable for outdoor activities.

We enjoyed the history and knowledge of staff of the building. Yes we enjoyed the ghost stories. Very captivating and peaked the audiences interests. Tour seemed short and the package deal was great. Our tickets include a lighthouse museum. Thats another great review to write about.

Almost all of the original buildings have been completely modified to add in 'displays' and plaques, I would highly recommend the sir William coaker site instead as it is still almost completely intact and had much more helpful and informative staff.

Tina Barton

Its worth the experience and upstand the fishing in Newfoundland. The hardship of past life as a fisherman and their families in rural Newfoundland.

David-Joyce Baxter

Bely Macpherson

Fascinating intact site, a window on a surprisingly large scale enterprise, even by current standards

Ellen Worling

Historic site on the history of Bonavista. Many of the displays were not working. More films, interactive displays would help.

Pam Rose

Wow! What a lovely place to visit

Donny Moore

Well laid out and presented piece of history.

Salma Burney

Excellent way to learn about back then and very knowledgeable staff ????

George Ayoub

Seeing the house of how merchants lived could be of historical interest to some people, not I. Super well built house and great exhibit...though.

Brent

learned a lot about the proud fishing history at the site and the area. The museum includes a fascinating overview of that history, as well as changes in technology, the people, the culture and social life of the community.

Ok

Shawn Bailey

The tour is self-guided, so for kids it's all reading posters and diagrams

Visit DrunkPhotography.com.

Got a list history from the tour then they let you go out and explore the area yourself.

Glen Wolgemuth

Wonderful displays.

emilie gagnon

Lots of puffins! We went at 7:30 am (optimum Time) no tourists and puffin activity is at its peak. Just make sure to bring a good camera.

Derrick Jamieson

Made it there late. Only saw part of the premises. What we did see was nice. Worth a stop.

Maxime S.

It's a great little museum. Lots of very interesting information about the region. I went to a lot of parcs canada site in multiple provinces and rarely did I meet employees that nice. You really get the welcoming atmosphere that newfoundlanders are so famous for. It is a little disappointing that this site isn't on the explorer circuit. It is unbelievable that parc canada didn't judge this site interesting enough. My kids really love collecting the dog tags and were very upset to not being able to collect a tag at this location. @parcscanada this is something very easy to fix.

Andrew Fenton

Giddy up NFLD!

Chuck Beasley

Interesting displays.

Barbara Storey

Great way to show the business of fishing and how fishermen lived in early years of Newfoundland. Enjoyed very expect of Ryan Premises, everyone should see this at least once. Staff is well informed.????

Greg Bennett

Awesome facilty

Another wonderful museum explaining how the cod fishery built Newfoundland. It's so nicely preserved, from the floorboards to the ceiling, and is an authentic cod processing plant from the last century.

Selena Wang

Less maintained and nothing to see

Gary Bishop

Very good history of the fishery in Newfoundland

Victoria Greey

The staff at this site are amazing!!! So accommodating and great with our young children (aged 2 and 4). While the exhibits were extremely interesting and well put together, the staff really made this visit special. It would be great if Parks Canada could make this site part of their explorer program. Since most of the visit is inside, this is something to do when the weather isn’t the best.
