The museum is actually quite big and you'll need at least 2-3 hours to get through most of it. I really liked the section about Canada 's history with war and how it dates back to the aboriginals.

Free on Thursday afternoon and open late . Must try on the helmets/hats and old uniforms for the Canadian navy, air force and forces, great for family get-togethers

One of Ottawa's finest building's architecturally speaking... Museum is ok if you like war museums . Cafe has an excellent view .

Being American it was definitely eye-opening visiting my museum that wasn't all about how great America is.

On Remembrance Day at 11:00 a.m., sunlight refracts through a single window on to the headstone of the Unknown Soldier in Memorial Hall . Located in the Foyer + access to the Hall is free! Read more

Christmas in the Trenches - imagine that! Visit the museum to get an appreciation for Canada 's role in the world.

It was ok but i found it was less big on the historical details of war than it was on purveying viewpoints and politically correct stuff.

Malu Furlan

Es muy interesante por toda la historia y los objetos que alberga . El museo está muy bien organizado . Al final salí un poco deprimida por tanta guerra y muerte que el hombre es capaz de causar...

Catador Cavernario

Ven preparado con tiempo porque está bastante interesante y muy largo, como para completarlo en dos días. Bueno para conocer la historia de Canadá ????????
