War history buffs will absolutely love spending a few hours at the Military Museums of Calgary. Even the average visitor won't be able to help being drawn into the victories and tragedies of the Canadian armed forces during major conflicts such as the First and Second World Wars. The Military Museums are made up of eight different museums brought together under one roof, giving you plenty to explore and learn about.
The Military Museums of Calgary is Canada’s second-largest military museum next to the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. As the name suggests, this attraction explores Canadian military history from the Northwest Rebellion of 1885, to the world wars, to modern peacekeeping operations. This complex of eight museums and galleries features displays on Canadian army, navy and air force history.
A great way to spend the afternoon is learning about the Canadian Forces and their contributions to our great nation. The Military Museums of Canada is open seven days a week. Children under the age of seven and military veterans visit free of charge.
