Start your day at the Canadian Museum of History where the whole family can enjoy fascinating exhibits and discover the rich cultural heritage of our country. All this, in a building that is in itself, an architectural gem. Take a lunch break at Bobino Bagel, a restaurant with great meals. Now that you've eaten well, head to Altitude Gym, a unique climbing centre. Finish your day at Pärlé - Bistro ludique, where you can play board games with the help of enthusiastic hosts.
Housed in a scenic riverfront building designed by Indigenous architect Douglas Cardinal, the Museum is one of Canada’s most popular and introduces visitors to 15,000 years of social and human history — including compelling personal stories; Indigenous cultures, histories and achievements; and thought-provoking international exhibitions.
