Day of Your Visit

Group Entrance

The Museum has a dedicated Group Entrance for arrival of groups in motor coaches and buses. To keep our visitors safe, only one group at a time will be admitted into the Group Entrance.

We recommend that your group arrives a minimum of 20 minutes before the scheduled start of your reserved time or program. In the event of inclement weather or other unexpected delays, please advise us en route by calling our Call Centre at 819-776-7014 or 1-800-555-5621. If you arrive late, we cannot guarantee your reserved program or tour.

Once your group has arrived at the Group Entrance, please have your Group Leader check in at the desk. Museum staff will provide instructions to the Group Leader for group entry, safety measures in place, etc.

Personal Belongings

Storage lockers located in the Group Entrance area will be assigned to your group, free of charge.

Lockers will not be shared between groups and they will be cleaned every day.

Accessibility

The Museum is fully accessible. However, to help ensure an inclusive and welcoming experience, please advise our Call Centre in advance if your group, or anyone within it, requires accommodation.

Bus Parking

Coach and bus parking is available onsite and along Wellington Street, just before the corner of Vimy Place.

School Access Program – Temporarily Unavailable

The Canadian War Museum is pleased to offer a School Access Program. Schools that meet the criteria for participation are eligible for assistance towards a school program at the Canadian War Museum, or the Canadian Museum of History.
