The Military Museums

Well worth the visit.There’s plenty to learn and do. I highly recommend any tourists or locals to visit this museum.Here’s a tip for anyone planning to go, go on a weekday, it will save some waiting time. And allow at minimum 2 hours for this visit.

Very nice collection of historical military artifacts, equipment and most importantly stories of military personnel presented with utmost care and attention to detail while paying respect to war heros! Good job to the organizers, employees and administrators.

No captured vehicle. One t-72a and one t-34-85 were gifts from Germany, and they just let them rusting outside. Some great looking tanks and armored vehicles were deeply hidden inside as wall decorations. So many wax figures and miniatures makes this place more like a haunted house then a serious war museum. Got less gun collection than logistics museum (permanent closed) in Montreal. Very little introduction and no weapon collection regarding the history of thin red line". I guess the canadian military just don't exist before the creation of Dominion of Canada. Funny thing is

The museum was very impressive. Unfortunately also a bit depressing. Thanks to Dave, who welcomed us at the entrance and explained a lot in advance. This has greatly simplified the visit to the museum. It is very special and also somewhat exciting to see how the individual areas of the Canadian military have had an influence on the various wars. Very moving also the individual areas where the fallen are commemorated.

It was my family's first time to visit this place, and we weren't disappointed. Parking is spacious. The exhibits (inside and outside) were fascinating. The staff and volunteers were friendly and accommodating. The items in the gift shop were fairly priced. We would love to come back again someday.

Great place with honours memory of Canadian military service. Very nice work of all generation volunteers. You should plan time for viewing more than 3 hours. One of great place for learning history.Thanks a lot for all museum's stuff.

Great museum. Nice collection of tanks, armoured vehicles, aircrafts. Amazing ship models. A lot of history of the wars and missions around the globe. Reach collection of uniforms. I spent there around 4.5 hours, one hour outside. There is a place to eat and a small souvenir shop. Museum has a good discount for students. Visiting this museum also gives a discount for the Hangar Museum

One of my favourite experiences from visiting Calgary. It was amazing to go through each of the sections and read stories about the Canadian military over time, how it's advanced, the battles it had, the types of equipment that was used. My only regret is that I didn't stay longer. There was so much information and artifacts to see. Anyone who has even a slight interest in history should visit this place.There was also a student discount which is a big plus.

It was an ideal place to learn about the history of the Canadian military. The displayed tanks and fighter planes were impressive, and I was overwhelmed by their size and grandeur. There were many interesting exhibits that showcased the evolution of military technology across various eras. The exhibits were accompanied by detailed explanations, allowing me to gain a deep understanding of their historical background and roles. Inside the museum, I was able to learn about the brave acts of Canadian military heroes and their courageous actions, which left a profound impression on me regarding their bravery and spirit of service. Overall, the Military Museum in Calgary offers a rich and comprehensive experience, making it a must-visit place for those interested in history and military affairs.

Great place for the family and kids. Amazing museum to look at and see Canadian history. Not busy and lots of staff ready to help you and tell you things. The only thing is that there is no restaurants nearby but other than that a great museum. We love this place.
