The new location is great. Much better than the old one. Didn't have long to see it all but is good for several hours of enjoyment. Well laid out and lots to see and read. A great testimonial to those who fought for our freedoms. more

We visited this museum over the Memorial Day weekend. This was a great place, give yourself enough time to take it all in. The attention to detail througout the entire museum was wondeful. A hugh facility that you could literally spend all day going through. The War Museum was listed as being downtown, that is a bit of a stretch.... more

The Canadian War museum is fantastic. Could be worth visiting a few times to see it all properly. Near the end, I was was walking through the museum, reading less and less and I was near information overload at that point. I loved the section at the end when you are encouraged to write postcards to various key organizations /... more

For the kids, the Lebreton Gallery has a large collection of tanks and artillery, including... more

A very enjoyable museum. Don't go close to when it closes as you will want to spend a while in here so that you get to see everything. more

This brand new museum may be the best in Canada. First, the building itself is striking. Second, the exhibits cover all of Canada's military conflicts and peacekeeping missions between the 1700s and the present in a simple but comrehensive way using a number of different media. Museum buffs will find lots to look at (like the uniform that Sir Isaac... more

Sep 1, 2005. Recommend staying in Ottawa at least 3 nights, and take the Gray Line tour for 2 days. There were several attractions we didn’t have time to see, but would have liked to. The War Museum is new and very popular. It takes at least 4 hours to see. Some of the museums are open late on Thursdays... more
