It's a great place to visit! Thursday evenings are free after 5pm, so nice to go if you want to stroll after dinner or something. You'll definitely want to go back again with more time. If visiting with kids, ask for the scavenger hunt. There's 3 different levels as well, so fun to play that more than once.

There was lots of history and well preserved canoes and kayaks plus learned a lot from the one gentleman named Russ Parker whom taught my husband and I alot about skinned kayaks and canoes. Would return for sure sometime.

Amazing museum, very friendly staff, great souvenirs in their gift shop, very reasonable prices ! Kids loved it too.

After thinking it was a 3 star experience I've changed my mind. Canadian canoe museum is the goto place for learning about this type of thing

I found the top level particularly interesting. Very well done.

(Translated by Google) It is a great museum. The new building will be next to the boat lift in 2022. (Original) Het is een geweldig museum. De nieuwbouw komt naast de bootlift in 2022.

Attended a wedding here. Fantastic

Nice place

very interesting!

In essence, this museum is a collection of canoes which can be traced back to various points of Canadian and indigenous history. It is very informative and is kid friendly with various hand on activities.

A lot of information, expect to be there for around 2 hours to have enough time to see everything. The staff is amazing and knowledgeable!

One of my favourite places in the whole wide world

If you love canoes, you'll love this place. Appropriately, only token consideration of kayaks. :)

This is a wonderful collection of Canoes and artifacts. It is a must see for canoeist.

Recently took an OMA course there called 'Planning and Designing Exhibits' back in August. Awesome time with a great bunch of museum staff along with great teachers who taught the course.

Don't judge a book by it's cover. Very nice inside and filled with history. A great place to explore. I don't even canoe and found this place very interesting.

WOW so much to see! So much history!

Great museum! Remarkable what one person’s passion could do.

Great museum. Enjoyed the variety of canoes, kayaks, and paddles. The historical facts were very interesting.

Excellent museum, friendly staff. Once upon a time I worked here in the summer and learned lots about canoes. Definitely worth a visit if you are visiting from out of Peterborough.

First time visiting the Canadian Canoe Muesum in Peterborough. I found it very informative and interactive. Lots of items to see and work with. Worth visiting the workshop as well. Any of the staff we talk to were quite helpful. Definitely take the time if you're ever in the area and go to the Muesum. You will not be disappointed! ☺👍☝☝

Pretty niche museum but as a someone who does a lot of canoe camping it was cool to see how the technology and designs have developed over the years. There is also some great info on how Canoes were used commercially back in the day which we found interesting. We didnt know they still had a mask wearing policy. They gave kn95 masks to walk through which I know a lot of people dont like. Id consider bringing your own mask.

This is a world class exhibit in a small town. Worth the trip. I think it could also be called Canadian history from the canoe perspective. I didn't expect to learn so much about indigenous history at the same time.

The history of indigenous culture was quite interesting and educational. A must see

Get ready to see a bunch of canoes and the basic wares of early settlers. I was expecting the newly renovated canoe museum under development since 2014. Instead we entered a yellow industrial building. Apparently the development site was far too contaminated to build. A little disappointed about that. Another way whites destroy things I guess...

Canadian heritage

This is a must see for canoe and outdoor enthousiast.

Great collection of canoes and canoe related items. Especially love ancient dugouts and contemporary celebrity pieces.

Had a wonderful time

Fascinating history of the canoe and lots of hands-on activities for the kids. A must see.

Very well laid out with a cool trip through history. It was better than I expected!

Lots if hands on activities! Really well put together. They have packed a lot into a smaller space. The volunteers are great, very knowledgeable and friendly.

One of the best places to visit in Peterborough I just enjoyed each and every minute of being there really educational places for people of all the ages will go there anytime would love to see the place expand to thrice the size and include more different styles of canoes they already have a large collection of paddles

Very friendly staff. Really cool place to visit. Terry makes amazing paddles. Very knowledgeable. A must see.

Had lots of fun! Purchased the yearly membership!!

So much more than what I thought I would be walking into.

This is a really great educational opportunity for local kids and well worth the travel time to visit for all Canadians!

Excellent!!!!

Such a beautiful museum with a peaceful atmosphere and an artistic gift store.

Lovely place

Very interesting

Awesome exhibits telling the history of Canada thorough canoes. Tons of interactive exhibits as well. Staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and friendly. The gift shop is stocked with tons of cool souvenirs for different tastes and budgets, definitely worth a visit.

A must see for all true Canadians

Very interesting and engaging exhibition. My 10 and 14 year olds also enjoyed all the arts and crafts stations, the puppet show station and all the hands on parts of the exhibition that lets you touch and experience the clothing and materials. Loved the history telling through the aspect of Canoe use in discovering and mapping of Canada. Spent 3 hours there without noticing :)

A family must for anyone in Ontario. Interactive for all.

It was great

Nice

Closed on Sundays huh? Only day in town sad...
