I came here for the Vintage Village of Lights…read more Similar to Upper Canada Village,closer for the "east enders" It was just under $20 to get in. Babies are free. Free parking, and everything was included in the entry free: parking, visit with santa, gingerbread cookies that you can decorate, wagon rides and games. If you come here during the winter, I recommend dressing VERY warm as most of the activities are outdoors, and to skip the stroller and bring a sled if anything. Strollers are also not allowed in the indoor exhibits, so your stuck leaving them outside. Much smaller than Upper Canada Village, but did the trick for a festive night out.

This place was such an amazing, fun and educational way to spend the afternoon. It was inexpensive,…read moretoo. What's more, the staff were very friendly, helpful and the demonstrations of skills from the period were interesting and informative to watch. Having travelled to Ottawa more times than I can count, the only thing I wonder is why I hadn't discovered this gem sooner. The place is very family-friendly and has lots of space for young ones to burn off steam - as they often don't have the patience to see everything that's offered. If you want a great way to spend a few hours with the family, it's worth considering the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum.

Cumberland Heritage Village Museum - (harvest market) Potato on a stick? $6ish dollars. It was fun to take photos with, tasted exactly how it looks.

This is a legit train museum with restored trains in a huge warehouse! You can go inside most of…read morethe trains which makes it more interactive. They even have a few train tables inside one of the trains! Outside the museum, there are 3 types of trains you can ride on (small medium and large). Starting with the medium one, it's an old fashioned cable car type of train you can ride on that loops around the museum with a few stops along the way. It was probably used for short distances as a city train. This train seems to be running all the time while the museum is open (maybe not during the winter months but I could be wrong) The small train is a bench train you straddle where you go through the forest and into a tunnel. This bench train is basically benches on wheels connected to each other in series, pulled by a strong lawnmower, but it totally works and it's sooo fun!! This train is definitely not running in the winter for obvious reasons. (Update: I stand corrected it IS open during the winter!!) The last train you can ride on, the really large one, is a noisy passenger train that has a really high ceiling it was probably used for long distances. I didn't see this train all the time so it might have a specific schedule. There's also a model train room and this is by far my 3 year old son's favorite spot as Thomas the train is there! Unfortunately more often than not Thomas is out of commission but you can still see him even if he's not going down his track. I also went here around Halloween and they decorate the trains as per my Yelp photos. A dream come true for any train enthusiast, even a 2 year old would enjoy it (mine started going at that age) Not too far of a drive from Montreal maybe 30-45 mins max. If you don't have a car not to worry as you can get here via the TRAIN as it's right next to a train station! There's also a small IMAX room which is extra in addition to the entrance fee. They also have a cute souvenir store. You could easily spend the day here if you have the energy or interest, there's so much to see! The folks who work here are super friendly and know their stuff when it comes to history and trains!

Honestly,I haven't been in years now even though I live close to it but I used to take my daughter…read morethere often when she was young. Their train exhibition can't be beat,the staff are always kind and helpful when you want info. And it's fun going for a ride on their little train that takes you for a nice ride for free all around their territory which is fairly big. This is a great family outing or even for train connoisseurs. One of these days I will go back to take more pics of the beautiful trains they have there.

This was so much fun and had so many interesting things to learn about. We had family visiting us…read morefrom out west and they wanted to go see something cool and we took them here and we had a blast! We had a tour guild who took us through the museum, they didn't show us all of it but he took us to the bottom and then let us work our way back up on our own terms or go back and check out the places we didn't see. The guide was very knowledgeable and definitely had a passion for this type of thing which made the whole experience just that much better.

The Diefenbunker has been on my list of museums to check out for years. I absolutely love the…read more1950's era, and was in awe at how the whole bunker has been left untouched. From the pastel yellow and blue paint used to the decorations in each room, it was quiet the experience to look at, and a step back in time. Walking through the tunnel upon entrance was chilly, literally, cold. Bring a sweater. The temperature in the rest of the museum was fine. My 5 year old thought it was cool in the beginning, but got extremely creeped out mid tour, and decided it was time to go. My 2 year old loved it and was laughing the whole time. Keep in mind there is not much for children to do here, but walk, and look. Keep an eye out for the TV and green chair that is set up. They were rolling commercials and announcements from that time era. It was pretty cool to watch. Parking on site, bring a lunch as there is no food to purchase on site (that I could find anyways). 5 and under free entry.
