Naval Museum of Halifax

Very nice museum to check out! Staff here are friendly and nice, and the place is decked out with 3 floors of artifacts and content to read through and learn about. Admission is also free. Only thing inconvenient is the accessibility and the opening hours. An issue I had with Google Maps specifically was the path it led me to the museum- the museum is contained within a gated area. Some of the gates happened to be close while I was checking it out, making me do a detour of about 10 minutes finding the main entrance in. The main entrance would be where the cars enter and leave the place, with gantries.

A well maintained museum giving us a glimpse of Canada's Naval History. In a country where many celebrate the forces and their sacrifices, the museum showcases the many battles, ships, submarines, equipment, men and women of the Canadian Navy. Photographs and artifacts from years past are preserved and showcased. The building itself is in side the Halifax DND site and has enough parking right in front of the museum. The building itself is not accessible because of its 200 year old heritage making it difficult to renovate. The lawns have radar antennae and guns displayed. There is no entry fee but a donation is appreciated. The wonderful staff is at hand if you have any questions.

This museum was awesome. Admittedly my partner was the one who wanted to go here, but I had a lot of fun. Lots of cool history and objects/art. Loved the escape suit for submariners. The building itself was also neat, it was old and really pretty and well maintained. Entering the museum was the only weird part because it is on a military base you have to sign in and enter through some intimidating gates. But was well worth it

Fascinating museum with models of ships, archival photographs, paintings, and some surprising artifacts (like the 1889 Cartridge Machine Gun).

Love the museum. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were clean. There is a lot of navy history here and is worth a visit. It is by donation which is nice. I recommend going if you can. The only downside are the operating hours.

A beautiful museum with a dedicated and caring staff. The collection is well-curated and the stories told reflect the honour and service of those prepared to sacrifice for the greater good. The staff take a personal interest in visitors and their devotion to the navy is evident. The building is breathtaking and is maintained with pride. Thank you for making it well worthwhile to visit from Alberta!

A wonderful learning center for canadian navy history. No charge. Great parking. Go enjoy.

Was a incredible experience, the Canadian military navy history has a good place there!!! I recommend it.
