Top Museums in Canada

I recommend visiting on a weekday, especially before noon. It's way less crowded, and you can explore at your own pace without bumping into too many people

Don't miss the gardens—take some time to stroll around outside if the weather's nice. They’re beautiful and give you a nice break from indoor exploring.

I think packing a light lunch is a great idea. The museum's cafe is kinda pricey for what you get. I ended up spending a bit more than I wanted on snacks, so come prepared!

Consider bringing your lunch. The café can be pricey and gets busy around noon. There are picnic spots outside if the weather's nice!

Try to visit on a Wednesday if you can. They often have reduced admission rates, plus it's usually less crowded than on weekends.

Use the app or website to map out your must-see exhibits before arrival. It’ll save you so much time and help you hit all the highlights you want to see.

If you're into photography the view of Parliament Hill from the museum is stunning especially around sunset. Don't miss it!

I really loved the outdoor rolling ball exhibit. Spending some time there made for a nice break before heading back inside - keeps the kids entertained!

Don't skip the live science demonstrations; they were super engaging and fun! I think it’s worth checking the schedule ahead of time to plan around them.

Grab lunch outside the museum if you can. The food inside looked overpriced, and a quick walk to a nearby café had better options for less.

Check the weather before going, as some outdoor exhibits might not be as enjoyable in the rain. I got caught in a drizzle, and it wasn’t fun!
