Visiting this museum was a truly fascinating experience. The exhibits offer a comprehensive historical journey, spanning from prehistoric times to the modern era, providing a captivating insight into the evolution of human civilization in Canada. Particularly striking were the displays of arts and crafts from the indigenous community, offering a profound and amazing encounter with their rich cultural heritage. We also gained valuable insights into the historical interactions between indigenous groups and early settlers as well.

The museum offers a specific section designed for children, although regrettably, we didn't have the time to explore this area. One doesn't have to pay additionally for this section as well.

The beautiful building itself adds to the allure, providing a picturesque view of the Ottawa River and lush green surroundings from the Alexandra Bridge. The front yard offers a stunning view of Parliament Hill, although in our case, this view was somewhat spoiled.

Another highlight of the visit was the collectible shop, boasting an extensive collection of souvenirs. The prices were reasonable compared to other museums, making it a beneficial stop for those interested in shopping for memorable keepsakes. Additionally, there is a café just outside the premises.
The park is an awesome idea, combining nice strolls in the open air, with historical exhibits, preserved or restored. Their summer and xmas markets are less busy than others around the city and its cool to hunt down all the locations throughout the park. the bakery is always busy, with long lines... they should really get extra staff and better distribution in nearby cafes and restaurants.
The Alberta Day (on 2/9/2023) celebration was held here! There was a drone show on 9pm. And throughout the day there’re a lot of booths such as live music show, kid corners, food trucks for you to enjoy. Besides, it’s a good opportunity for me to enter the heritage park for free! Normally there is a fee $30-40 for each entry.
Can't say enough good things about this place to be honest!! What an amazing way to spend an entire day. Please make sure you have ample time when you visit this place as there are just so many things to see. I went there about 1pm and hadn't explored half the park by 5pm.

The train and buggy ride was really fun. The park is beautifully built with a lot of thought and attention to detail.

I'm surely going to go back a second time to make sure I get to explore more of the park.
