Informative, Impactful and Interesting. - This museum is large with great displays. Some interactive. I found the whole experience educational and at times quite impactful. The artifacts, machines, vehicles are also very well displayed and gives you a glimpse to the conditions, space and intensity our service members have to work in. We spent approximately 3 hours here. But easily could have spent longer.

Beautiful museum - Dry east to read and learn the history. Great pictures to help you learn. My daughter loved reading the information could have spent the who day there. Great gift shop

THE STORY OF WAR, POLITICS & HOPE. - The story of HOPE as expressed in the architecture and the life story of the Canadian-Japaneze architect. The tour guide told the story in a manner that was emotive and evoked introspection.

Great War museum. - Great Museum, we spent almost 4 hours walking through all of the exhibits and it was great getting to see the gallery room with all of the tanks lined up from different countries. Real interesting exhibits and displays well thought out and informative.

Worth it - Our grandson is a war history buff and he couldn’t have a bigger smile on his face which reflected how happy he was to be there. Totally worth the entrance fee.

Great information, even better if you’re not from Canada - We all know history from the country we live in. But seeing that same history as described by those of another country is a real eye opener and a great way to learn more about events you thought you understood. This museum is huge and the displays/ information is well laid out. If you plan to just walk through it then maybe 90 minutes will do but to really see this museum and understand everything they present I would say 3/4 hours minimum, some might move slower or need a second day if you have trouble standing for longer periods of time. Cost seemed high to me when I checked it out online but once we saw it I understood the price was justified. One note though. Call first and see if they are expecting any school groups on the day you might visit. I school groups will be there go a different day as teachers and museum staff do not supervise students and it becomes a playground not a museum on those days

Must see when in Ottawa - I loved the thoughtful presentation of Canadian history from multiple perspectives. My video-game obsessed teenager loved seeing real weapons, tanks etc up close and personal. A win-win really! Could spend several hours there, we only allowed 2.5 and there’s a lot we missed.

Great museum - well presented, interactive and interesting - Really good - actually much better than expected! We went to the War Museum on a Thurs evening (pre book free admission on Thursday’s)…..this may have been a mistake as we thought 2 hours (5-7pm) would be enough time - it was not. Depends on your interest level but 3 hours would be recommended as there is a lot here! Contains exhibits that are well presented, interesting and better than just “items in a glass box” type of presentation - everything from complete history of war involving Canada to equipment, memorabilia, archival items - so very detailed. You can read as much or little as you want and still be engaged. That said it was insanely busy with school groups the night we went making it tricky to see some areas as it was crowded (and loud - very loud). Would recommend to almost everyone - kids who are studying a lot of this info in Social Studies to war enthusiasts.

Didn't Manage to Catch the Tour - As I arrived too late for the tour--Google Map not being updated on all the construction in and around downtown Ottawa, I missed the tour by a wide margin. This pointed-out one of the flaws in an on-line or app. ticket, namely-- un-foreseen circumstances. Also, although I originally booked my tour on my laptop, after doing so, I needed to have the ticket transferred to my cell ( no access to a printer ), but couldn't manage that. I took a photo of the confirmed booking, yet once I had downloaded the Viator app. to my phone, there was nothing listed on " My Bookings". Possibly someone who is more " tech.-savvy" could have resolved this problem, but that wouldn't have helped with the matter of arriving late. Henceforth, I will only buy one ticket for such a museum tour, as I had to anyway. You never know what problems can arise , on holiday. So, I doubt I will use your service in future,

Average museum experience. - Overall experience was average relative to the admission price. Strangely quite a few of the displayed pieces are not well lit, the artifacts are frequently in dark shadows. There are some interesting large paintings as well as "nose art" on the ramp down to the lower level but the angle of these pieces means they have reflections from the exterior windows so can't be viewed properly. Most of the exhibits that used computer displays had multiple malfunctioning terminals (touch screens didn't work) or missing headphones. The adobe flash warning dialog box was appearing on some. A lot of the pieces are either uniforms or guns. I was hoping for a more varied display of technology. Rarely was the inside of vehicles shown. (Photos attached don't capture the mentioned issues.)
