Amazing experience.
Walking into this experience immediately gives you the feeling of humility.
The large, over sized walls and rooms set the tone for the rest of the facility.
The displays are as educational as they are entertaining, teaching while engaging.
We were told to expect to spend a couple of hours touring through the exhibits and we were there for over 4.
Would highly recommend this stop for anyone wanting to see some Canadian and world history.
I feel a newfound respect for those who served in every facet.

This is one of the most interesting museums from how much thought has been put into everything. There is a reason and meaning to every element from architecture to design to placement of elements. Everyone we have taken here has left truly impressed.

This is a very impressive museum by a global standard and the most impressive war museum.
However, as a British visitor of many years, it was so educational about Canadian history and the growth of a nation. Moreover, it was a revelation to see the part that Canada has played in world wars and global peace keeping that has been overlooked by Eurocentric story telling and movies.
The space afforded exhibits and multi-dimensional media and artefacts is truly world class.
This is a highly recommended museum and should be factored into any Ottawa visit.
