A good place to know everything about Canadian Culture. The architechture is so beatiful. There is a colorful Dome and the shop had many great souvenirs. You need time if you want to visit every area

Without a doubt one of the best museums in Ottawa! The aboriginal totem poles are unlike anything I've seen before, and the special Viking exhibit was awesome! Highly recommended, especially Thursdays

Rozan Débo

Wonderful!!! 4h to 5h for the visit and watch one of the 3D movie . 25min by walking from the parliament . Wifi is free and you can upload the dedicated app to have free audioguide :-)

Love it!! You need a whole day at least to see everything

It's FREE at 4-8pm on thursday. War&history museum pass is 23$ and for one museum is 16$. I'd do free thuraday in History museum , as war museum would take more time.
