Reviews of City of Waterloo Museum (Tourist Attraction)

Chia Yin Wu

The displays are tastefully done but the place is very tiny— smaller than most art galleries and almost smaller than some of the public washroom areas that you'd find in the bigger malls, which is disappointing given the fact that Waterloo is a city with a rich history. It is also rather ridiculous that a museum that is supposed to showcase the city's heritage is tucked away in a little corner in a mall. Waterloo deserves a museum that is really a museum.

This is fun treasure hunt to attempt to find in the mall. I don't have much else to say. I like fun city facts, which they did provide in their exhibit. Did you know there is a SQUARE barrel (sorry spoilers).

Small museum with rotating exhibits, lots of activities for kids in most exhibits. Good for families looking for a free adventure or curious individuals. Most exhibits are interactive. Wheelchair accessible.

A bit small but nice staff

The museum is nice but very small.

Very nice and entertaining exposition. I found it very small though. I liked they had toys for my 2 year old, and things to touch.

Most educational concerning local history!!????

Brad Bruder

Good school trip if you live in the area. If you live in the GTA would say pioneer village is better

Donna Martin

Lots of great information and history of the area. Lots of amusing stories and a few videos to watch and listen. Went with a group and wished they had a place for me to sit and wait for the remainer of the group to finish. There is a food court in the adjacent mall though.

Tiny gem of a museum. I always looked at the museum from the Conestoga Mall food court but never had the chance to actually go in. Also I’d wonder who on earth puts a museum in a mall next to food lol. Until I had to go in for an exhibit for a college class. The exhibit was nice and well organized, the museum was empty that afternoon which gave me opportunity to talk to the museum curator/lovely old gentleman there. He was extremely knowledgeable and I had a great talk with him about vintage cameras. Definitely good place to hangout or checkout at least once.

Really interesting to see local architecture and how the different designs are spread across the region. Loved seeing some of the wallpapers from bygone eras.

Little gem hidden just off the food court at the Conestoga mall. We saw the Tales of fantasy traveling exhibit. It was in French and English. We had a nice time as a family and went through it in about an hour because we read everything. We will definitely be going back to see other exhibits!
