Reviews of Canadian Potato Museum & Antique Farm Machinery Museum (Zoo)

Lydia C.

Interesting musuems, includes two small musuems: one on potatoes and farming and the other more general history of the area and war times. Both are well done, the potatoes section includes interesting display with interactive sound. The restaurant in between the two musuems also has good food options and great service along with a small gift shop for souvenirs.

Paul Muise

Great place for lunch.

(Translated) Very complete and interesting, you can even eat it. (Original) Tres complet et interessant, on peut meme bien y manger.

William Matthews

I came for the potato's. I stayed for the political intrigue.

Drew Willcock

Great place

Marie-Renée Verhaeghe

Was a bit disappointed by the exhibits. Mostly lots of things to read. A video presentation would be really neat! All of that being said, a very informative museum for those who don’t mind the reading. It’s cool that they have the restaurant attached.

Douglas Harder

The best French fries on the island (at least in my limited experience) and a fascinating history of the history of the potato as a source of calories and nutrients. It has a well-designed layout. Some not-so-simple concepts are described by a video by a researcher from the University of Guelph, augmented with appropriate graphics that bring the knowledge down to earth.

Carl

(Translated) Good homemade fries (Original) Bonne frite maison

eric klepsch

Interesting museum with snack bar.

brettroberts987

It's a great little stop. Old machine, history of the potato and the island. More adult oriented simply due to the material. Kids will be bored quick. There is A little cafeteria that has, you guessed it, potato type food. Plus potato fudge, which was delicious!

Ken Hébert

(Translated) Nice place, lots of relevant information and excellent restaurant! (Original) Bel endroit, beaucoup d'informations pertinentes et excellent restaurant!

Richard Oprins

This is a nice museum to learn about the potato, how its grown, harvested, and prepared for your diner.

Mark Bates

Travelled from Sea Side while on vacation as a non beach activity with the kids. Quite a comprehensive museum on the importance of the potato to PEI. Lots to see and read. Nice little cafe and several out buildings to explore including a one room school house, church and barn. Close to community park and school for kids to run off steam.

Louise Vaillancourt

Well made!

Andrew Cabot

It was a great experience

Max Ge

(Translated) Good experience. (Original) Bonne expérience.

Antoine Massé

(Translated) History of the potato on the island with several period machines on display. It's fun but not a must see attraction. To do in rainy weather. However, I would come back to eat at the snack bar. The fries are really good. (Original) Historique de la patate à l'île avec plusieurs machines d'époques en exposition. C'est amusant mais pas une attraction incontournable. À faire par temps pluvieux. Par contre, je reviendrais manger au casse croute. Les frites sont vraiment bonnes.

Daniel Blanchard

Nice historical small museum. Lots to read and videos to watch. Real size farm equipment in display and restaurant with a few potatoes staples to enjoy.

Marie-Eve Coutu

(Translated) Very interesting! Good choice in the restaurant and very good !!! (Original) Très intéressant! Bon choix au restaurant et très bon!!!

Kenziemeow

The poutine is AMAZING! The gravy tasted by far delicious! We didn't do the actual museum tour, but we saw the gift shop and ate at the restaurant and I definitely recommend coming here.

FireStar Night

Teaches tourist the history of the potato farming on Prince Edward Island.

Sal DeFini

Something to do on a rainy day.

Raju Kallumkal

It was fun reading and listening to videos as well as seeing all the equipment from olden days used in potato farming.

Ramla Ali Asghar

Just facts and read it yourself.. observe the machinery and different kinds of potatoes and diseases. The fudge offered was quite satisfying to the pallet.

Paul Butler

Loads of information, and fun facts.

Martin Véronneau

(Translated) For anyone who wants to know more about this popular vegetable in Canada, here is a museum that will let you know everything. You have to want to read a lot since there does not seem to be any guided tours. (Original) Pour qui aurait envie d'en savoir plus sur ce légume bien populaire au Canada, voilà un musée qui vous permettra de tout savoir. Il faut vouloir lire pas mal puisqu'il ne semble pas y avoir de visites guidées.

Alexa Lam

Not a highlight of our trip to PEI but the restaurant was fun to dine in. The museum was ok and that is being generous. I really liked dining in the museum's restaurant though as they do the PEI potato justice. Their poutine was good and their baked potatoes were quite well done. Very tasty potatoes.

Dinesh Rangarajan

Amazing facts to learn. Potato Skin with salsa dish was the best that I liked. Very limited parking spots. Construction around that area as well.

Cassandra Knight

This museum was amazing. I added it to my 'must see' list when my family and I went to Canada as a joke, but it turned out to be my favorite part of the trip! I learned so much about potatoes, and their cafe was EXCELLENT. The exhibits throughout the museum were not only educational but funny! I would visit again to only go here. Do not pass this museum up if you are in the area!

Gregory Marko

Great place to visit. Do not miss. Museum displays and supporting material need an update, but that is the only constructive feedback

Ryan Baird

The potato museum is a fun and interesting location, don't forget to stop in the municipal museum as well!

Nathan Reid

Very detailed museum tour, featuring many things about the history of potatoes, ranging from the spanish crusades, their origins in south america, their introduction to Europe, and of course, the irish famine. The museum features many different types of tractors and equipment of all kinds, and of course, and potato hall of fame. After the tour you can buy stuff from their potato themed gift shop or excellent restaurant, and then relax at the nearby park. Very enjoyable ????????????

Marc Charbonneau

Didn't realize there was so much to potatoes! Worth the bust and great playground just outside.

Liam Smolenaars

There's a large room absolutely filled with farming machinery. Lots of old Massey Ferguson and even Massey Harris tractors. A real joy to wander around at this place!

Marcy Berg

Beat french fries tou will ever eat

Cathryn Griffiths

This was such a fun and informative museum! Learned the history of the potato, saw antique farm equipment, and then enjoyed some potato skins and mashed potatoes in their restaurant after the visit. I'd highly recommend a visit here!

Marc Blaquière

From Oleary. What a great job everyone did with both community and potatoe museums.

geordy daws

Best potato museum ever!

Terry MacDonald

Offered much more than anticipated. Well worth the price. Highly reccomend.

Kristy McCoy

Fantastic food, and a great way to fill a rainy afternoon!

Brett Binns

An interesting museum with lots of information concerning modern as well as historical potato harvest and culture. We also had a decent lunch here. A second museum wing contains local history, especially medical. I had seafood chowder which was good but without a lot of seafood. My wife had excellent poutine.

Danielle Faulkner

Its Potatoes.. Need I say more.

Michelle A Gerrior

Very informative and interesting

Caroline Hill -Smith

The potato soup is fabulous...and the potato fudge so yummy!!

Diane Julian

So much information I didn't know about the potato. Very interesting. Nice little restaurant with the best potato soup.

Sierra Shein

Stop in for lunch every time we visit the island

Keenan Fast

They start you off with potato fudge and then the museum is everything you could wish for in a potato museum

Lindsey Ross

This is a pretty unique spot! They have a restaurant where they can serve you potato themed dishes (and pizza) and then a whole museum taking you through the history of the PEI potato. The museum is interesting- I loved the little potatoes in caskets the most, showcasing the different issues and diseases. The giftshop is well stocked with Island items and a definite potato theme going. And then finally, you have a huge selfie opportunity with a giant potato out front! How can one resist?

Anonymous Reviewer

We came to the museum as part of our maritime road trip from Toronto. The potato fudge was good and potato exhibits were really impressive. They also have a community museum which we found was pretty cool. Good stuff!! We found the gift shop was a little expensive, but I guess that makes sense for a museum. Would come here again & recommend if you’re visiting pei!!

(Translated) Nice little museum must see (Original) Beau petit musée faut voir

Mae Smithman

So much to learn about potatoes. Something for everyone.

Rachel Reid

We love walking through the museum, playing on their outside playground, and getting something to eat. Everything is delicious!! Our kids ask to go there every time we head to the island.

Veronica Cheng

I appreciate the large potato displayed outside the museum! Very interesting history and the food at the cafeteria was very good. Definitely full of potatoes! ????

Bev Murphy

Nice please to go to. Great food and reasonably price. Nice clean spot

Irene A

Very interesting if you like farming

Mehdi Pakzad

This is a must see Museum! Interesting facts and history about potato and farming machines as well as a local community history museum too. Both are a must see.

chris Audi1

at first we were unsure to visit the museum because accoring to the review it was looking cheap but we were not desapointed around 1h20 from the bridge + a lot of parking spot +bunch of history on how the potato transform the food habit +you can find some food in there and the service is fast and the food is good recommand the potato nacho with extra salsa sauce

M Karneaux

Fabulous restaurant. ...if you like potatoes you will LOVE this place!

M H

Great potato fudge!

Rob Lloyd

Poutine and chili fries were great!

Hossai Masroor

It was a cool museum. Got the chance to learn a bit about the history of potatoes. There are two museums, one is the potato museum which costs money to get in and the other is about general history.

Sherry Robinson

Who knew the history of the potatoes was so interesting and fun. Thank you Rick Mercer for the giggles.

Detail Fanatics

What a fun time to take in some PEI heritage. History of the potato, old equipment, what's not to love. As they say on the flyer, the fries are amazing. Worth the drive to O'Leary. Oh, and make sure you try the Potato Fudge.

Margaret Berze

Great history ❤️We love PEI potato. They are the best. Delicious to eat yummy ????

Montana Brigham

Really cute little museum if you like potatoes and farming. Nice little gift shop too! We had some potato fudge which was really good!

Jean-Francois Gauthier

Good museum !!!

Jérémie P-B

Small Museum. Perfect for a rainy day with the family and serve Potatoe related food!

Candice Ross

Restaurant was delicious! Awesome prices and HUGE portions. They have a nice little play area indoors for the kids. Not much to do or see unless you're into old farm equipment. Buildings outdoors were locked up so no one could go in.

Vicki Buechler

We did not go the museum, we went for the potato kitchen. Huge portions

Darlene Murphy

This is a very informative museum. We really enjoyed seeing all the history. They have a wonderful snack area as well. The potato fudge was to die for.

John Hooey

Quaint museum that must be visited if you are in the area.

Garth and Faye MacWilliams

Great food

Norman Davie

This was way more interesting than expected. Make sure you have the potato nachos

(Translated) It is part of the history of the Island, you will not find the great museum, but if you liked PEI and have time go. (Original) Es parte de la historia de la Isla, no vas a encontrar el gran museo, pero si te gusto la PEI y tienes tiempo ve.

Dennis Aaron

Interesting if you are interested in potatoe history and farming.

Eric Hind

Fun trip. Lots to go through for moderate size. Local ag museum also attached and was quite interesting. Good souvenir shop. A bit hard to find. Seemed to be on a residential Street in the town. Pic is a potato in a mini coffin with one of the major potato diseases with you explanation. Obviously not for everyone but we liked it.

Mai-Lynn McEwen

The food in the restaurant was delicious and they served huge portions. The potato fudge was surprisingly tasty.

Kevin Jin

(Translated) 10 $ / adult. If you love potatoes, you can come to the restaurant here to taste a variety of potato meals. (Original) 10$/adult. 爱吃土豆的话，可以来这里的餐厅品尝多种做法的土豆餐。

roger savoie

Very informative. A must see. Lots of old machinery used back then. Interesting.

Dana Greenlaw

I love this place. It has a great little cafe to enjoy a potato based lunch after going through the museum with cool info and equipment. Even if you are not interested in going through the museum you can still enjoy some cool items on their menu. And they have a cute little store to buy some interesting items from soap to T-shirts, and local arts and crafts. I go for the pulled pork on spud. Thank you Potato Museum.

Keith Cusson

Great museum with lots of interesting information on both potatoes and the local area. Unfortunately we ate lunch before coming out, meaning we missed out on trying their potato restaurant. Well worth a visit.

one inamillion

Pretty interesting if you are interested in potatoes. The food at the restaurant was really good the service was appalling such a rude girl .

Zac Piskun

Amazing potato based restaurant in the museum

PAUL L.

A 'must see' when in PEI; a fun little place.

kamal kishor

We didn't go inside as paying entry fees ($24 if I remember correctly) seemed way to expensive to learn about the history of potato farming. However we did have lunch their and loved it. If you are going for a visit make sure you have stop by the restaurant. The food tastes amazing.

From the smell of potatoes to the little potatoes with diseases in the cutest little coffins you ever seen. What is not to love

More then just a potato museum. Had a kitchen, old farm equipment and old stuff in general like an iron lung.

Francoise Guillaudeau

(Translated) Very interesting museum (Original) Musee tres interessant

Peagirl R

Its a good experience. Does not take long to complete it. We did a 1.5hr drive just for it and it was not worth it. Would only go if you are passing by or are in the area.

Frederic Hamel

If you like potatoes or are just curious about them, this is really a great place to visit to learn more. The museum lays out all the details about planting, growing, harvesting, blight and disease, social questions, nutritious questions, etc. They have a great little cafe that serves all things potato. The local history museum is quite interesting as well! There is lots of stuff from earlier in the century, most of it in amazing shape. There is a big section devoted to earlier farm machinery as well, though there are fewer explanations in that area.

Very informative and a lot of equipment to see

It was approx 10$/adult. Lots of facts about potatoes with a history lesson. Most of the info panels date from the 1990s and should be updated. Lots of old farming equipment.

tanya vandalen

Love it .. So much fun and all about potatoes.. Has little restaurant serving potatoes

Angela Robichaud

Wonderful place to visit. Lovely cafe.

John Granger Mitchell

Great apot

Nicolas Rondeau

Really too expensive

Christopher Coulter

Amazing poutine! Interesting exhibits.

James Morrill

We only had time for lunch, but can say it is very good and everyone was kind and helpful. Will go back again.

Patricia Leininger

Where else in the world are you going to find a museum dedicated to the potato? I learned so much about potatoes. There isn't much else in the town to bring tourists but worth the drive.

Pug Traveller

We didn't do the tour but had lunch. Tasty food. Loaded spuds and seafood chowder. A bit overpriced but it's a tourist spot. Playground attached for kids to blow off steam.

Kathy Doherty

Way more interesting than you might think. Totally worth a visit.

Kathy Doherty

Way more interesting than you might think. Totally worth a visit.

Sarah Szpak

Went to the museum restaurant at 2pm and they had fries and chowder soup as their only options for food. They were sold out of potatoes, grilled cheese, pulled pork and potato soup. Very disappointing.

Hina Why

I liked the exhibits, which were very informative and interesting. The food, on the other hand, was overpriced and nothing to write home about.

Natasha LeBlanc

Did a private tour. Was amazing. Hands down the best experience to do in Prince Edward Island! Great staff and really friendly!

Pei Coastal

The food is all between $6 and $10 and made right on site. Best home cut French fries on PEI!

Li'l Tiger

(Translated) Enriching experience, good place to bring the little ones (Original) Expérience enrichissante, bon endroit pour amener les tous petits

Geraldine Gonzalez

They offer a self guided tour that it was ok. I was expecting more given the fact that this is the canadian potato museum. Anyway, the food it's worth trying also

Global Report

Wow. When you visit PEI you must visit the museum; because you will enjoy the local potato with the local point of view about potato taste.

Toni Vary

Great fries

Em Pain

The museum itself is great. Very informative for the history of the potato, its diseases and the farming behind it. A whole section is open with the tools and machines used. The only thing that annoyed me is you can't buy a bag of potatoes from the shop - missed opportunity!

John MacKay

Great community run museum with lots of historical, local and personal information and displays about the potato. Perfect for a rainy day activity.

Jennifer Lambe

Best museum, possibly ever. No trip is complete without a stop in to learn about potatoes and their amazing agricultural significance.

Leonid Chukhovsky

Stay away from food, but kids should enjoy it

Francois Lachance-Guillemette

Cool place, machinery is impressive, interesting tidbits about potatoes, we enjoyed our time there. Restaurant smelled good, but we didn't eat there (closes at 5pm)

James Collier

I like potato

Tour the museum, very educational. Had lunch, excellent food, good prices.

You should see how big the potato is outside! Inside, fascinating exhibits - truly - about potatoes. Don't miss it if you are nearby. Restaurant has seaweed pie and great fries.

Karen Milligan

Always enjoyable. Great menu. Great quality. Friendly service. Very clean.

Debbie Harding

The museum was okay but the restaurant is terrible in my opinion. I got the potato skins they were burnt and hard then had unmelted cheese, some sort of crumbled meat that did not taste like bacon, and filled with salsa and then a drizzle of sour cream. I have never had salsa filling my potato skins before it was very unpleasant.

Miles Macnaught

Very informative

Clinton B

It is a fine stop but very pricey and only so-so quality food.

This is a good place to visit to learn anything that you may wonder about PEI's important crop- the potato.

Dave Harrison

They serve the best potato soup

Stopped for lunch. Very disappointed in the food. For a museum honoring potatoes the cafe did not live up to expectations. Did not taste freshly prepared, the gravy tasted like it came straight out of a can

Great family activity. Learned lots about potatoes and potatoes farming in PEI, and the local community as well. The restaurant food is awesome! Well worth the nominal admission charge for a family.

Joel Holtz

There's a lot about potatoes that I didn't know! Located in the town of O'Leary is the Canadian Potato Museum. This museum is loaded with all kinds of information about the wonderful spud. There are video stations throughout the main building in various locations detailing different aspects about potato farming. They also have a huge display of old farming machinery. Feel free to parouse through a community museum that has many old artifacts and historical pieces pertaining to O'Leary. There's even an old respirator. There's a small boutique and cafe as well. If you would like to know more about the good old spud from PEI, then you better visit the Canadian Potato Museum.

Julie Sonny

A very Informative place. The employees were very helpful and nice.

JASON taylor

Absolutely the best stop in PEI. Farm tour was amazing. Many thanks to Eric and Donna for being sooooo accommodating for my elderly parents, THEY LOVED IT!!!!

Laurie Senra

Cute little gift shop, but was really interested in the potato globes thought they were cool until I flipped them over and saw "made in china" on a little sticky. I didn't do the full tour, didn't think it would be worth the cost. But not to knock it, it just wasn't my thing.

Valerie Smith

It was packed full of fun history

Tanya Dunn

Great experience but no baby changing table

Alex Grant

Good food

Eleanor Mastrobattisto

We would have liked more information on the planting and harvesting of the potatoes today compared with years ago. The descriptions and visuals of the potato diseases was interesting.

A great tourist attraction to learn about the local economy, history and Canada's involvement as a nation as it relates to the global potato industry. There is a nominal charge for admission to help support this venture but well worth it.

If you've never been, you should go. There is some interesting displays and information. There is also a store and restaurant. The potato fudge was pretty good.

(Translated) Museum unpretentious you learn a lot about the potato. On the other hand the prices are too high for this museum (Original) Musé sans pretention on y apprend beaucoup sur la patate . Par contre les prix son trop élever pour ce musé

David Morrical

This was surprisingly a high point for our family. I literally dragged our teenage daughter to the entrance but once inside we had a great time. My wife's favourite display was the coffins showing the various diseases potatoes had succumbed to. Our daughter loved the Potato Hall of Fame. I liked the history described on the various crop machines. "It's just a potato!" we laughed because it is so taken for granted and yet a museum was made for it. We learned a bit. :)

Peter Tsitiridis

Good layout better than you might think. Very informative Smart friendly staff. Fudge and fries are great as well.

Linda Jeffrey

Family friendly, educational unique museum. Historically interesting displays. Wonderful fun food choices in the restaurant and large serving sizes, bring your appetite. Fun gift shop items and be sure to take home a package of potato fudge.

L Chortz

We did the farm tour that the museum offers. Absolutely fantastic. We met up with Donna at the museum who was super friendly. She had everything ready and organized. She introduced us to our guide/chauffeur Eric. Eric is a retired farmer who drove us out to a potato farm. Interesting guy and very personable. At the farm we met up with the owner Morgan. Heavy rain that day prevented us from going out to the field but we did get to see the climate controlled warehouse. Honestly the best part was just talking with Morgan and Eric. They are passionate about their community and Morgan was very informative about the science of growing potatoes. A bonus of the tour is a trip to West Point lighthouse. There was also the option of a wool producer but we were a bit pressed for time. This was all followed by a tasty potato based lunch back at the museum, time touring the museum and making potato fudge with Donna at the cafe which was a great deal of fun. Highly recommended the farm tour.

Ross Smith

Enlightening

Katie Prescott

Lots of interesting potato facts, yummy potato fudge. Was disappointed the restaurant was closed for the season.

Gloria Tufgar

Definitely worth a visit. Museum is well done and educational. Cute little gift shop with neat things to buy. If you do buy, they pack it in a potato bag. Nice touch. Cafe has good food. Potato soup is good, but salty. French fries are definitely worth getting.

Jack Olson

Museum covering PEI potato farming and local community history. Restaurant and gift shop with friendly and helpful staff. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Matthew

Wonderful experience. Very friendly staff especially our server Brynn.

JAYDA CANALES

i wanna go when i'm older i will surly look into it

Annette Carter

Fun place for a visit. Shame the restraunt only had fries. I was looking forward to trying a few other potato recipes.

Chantal Rochon

Fun place to visit and interesting to see all the machinery they used from the start but was dissapointed that they didn't have potatoe chips, they ran out and kitchen closed 1 week earlier than supposed to so couldn't get french fries...we went 1st week of October this year.

Sandra Hark

Great food

Kayla Mann

Cute museum and great food! On Thursdays they serve potato pizza. Delicious!

Ian Lucuik

Great museum that offers an insight into the history and technology that goes into farming potatoes. Great interactive exhibits and the best part was the restaurant with some of the best potato dishes on the island! French fries were crisp with a huge portion and the loaded baked potato was simplely Awsome !!

Yen Lieu

Meh... not worth it. Skip it.

Em C

Overpriced entry fee to a substandard museum, not worth the detour

Better than I expected. Don't miss the Hall of Fame! ????

Hillary Jones

Best potatoes around! I reccomend there seaweed pie it is delicious!

Jane Brander

Very interesting, well displayed..food was good but service poor

Yuri Grigorchuk

Map Quest

The potato museum itself is not worth the drive, super hokey. Save your time and $10. The setup, is like a grade school science fair. And to boot, the cafeteria runs out of potato soup, really? Did they run out of potatoes? And the fries were dusted with some sort of sweetener.. weird. On a positive not, they did have pretty cool antique looking farm equipment in the back room.

Steph H.

This place was awesome! Whenever I tell someone I went here they kind of chuckle and roll their eyes but it's so charming and a great way to spend a few hours. Take your time to read through some of the text, I found the history surprisingly fascinating. They also showcase some of he diseases that potatoes are prone to in these funny little coffins. RIP potatoes. At the end there's also a nice restaurant with some delicious fries and other potato delicacies! Definitely recommended!

Michael Saucier

Exhibits were much more informative than we expected but if you go, bring an appetite. The food is fantastic.

James Anderson

Its a potato museum so not sure if I expected much. Didnt sell too many potato based products. We bought the potato fudge and it was all sugar

Michael Hakze

Really really good and informative.

This place was amazing. It's crazy what you can learn about a potato. The museum was clean and fun. There were a lot of facts to learn. It's very small but so cute. Perfect for kids to learn all about potatoes!

Great place to visit and have a great Lunch. The staff were exceptionally friendly and the Museum is expansively informative about an important part of the Island's culture and economy.

What a fun experience! We went on the Farm tour and it was truly a once in a lifetime experience! I don't think we would have gotten the personalized touch anywhere else. Eric did an amazing job on the tour and he made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Touring Chris's farm was super fun and he was really down to earth. Would go back again and would strongly encourage others to visit! It is well worth the drive from Charlottetown.

I like potatoes and this was a great place to learn about PEI potato farming. It also offers other historic structures to see.

My Aunt wanted to eat at the cafe, but I was not impressed. Limited menu, but the worst part was the disorganized counter you had to order from. They have the space, they should have menus and waitstaff. This area is crying out for a decent sit down restaurant that serves basic food.

Ashley Maclean

Great place, entry fee is quite cheap for how much info there is. There is 2 parts to the museum, one that focuses on the history of growing potatoes and one on the local history of O'leary. Also recommend you go around lunch, as the potato themed restaurant serves very delicious food!

If you're looking to see various potato diseases and old farm equipment plus the world's lamest, largest potato, then you've found the right spot. Food is good though.
