So worth experiencing the inside with a fantastic tour guide with lots of anecdotes! Captivating details, candid humour, and intriguing exposure to realities of life on this massive steel fish of the deep. Learn about "pings", danger if playing cards, requirement to run internal length in 30 seconds (!), why swim in the torpedo shoots.

This is one of those big toys for big boys but should also be of interest to mariners, sailors and history buffs. The volunteers are knowledgeable and well-versed in the history of the boat and it's journey to Southern Ontario. The sub is not so old: Some areas are still secret and photography is forbidden! We really enjoyed this stop in Port Burwell and after the tour there are a few places where you can have a light lunch or ice-cream.

We went to visit this submarine and enjoyed the tour. Yes it is abit more to do the tour but the historical society is trying to pay for the restoration and transport of the sub there. We liked the tour but were disappointed to not be allowed to take many pics inside nor get into the conning (sp?) tower. We went in Sept so wait was only 15 mins. Overall we enjoyed the experience and learned a lot - our guide was very knowledgeable.

Kudos to the citizens of Elgin County and Port Burwell for having the foresight to having the Ojibwa Submarine preserved in this community. So much of Canadian history has been destroyed and to be able to tour this submarine which played such a crucial role in world history during the Cold War period was amazing. To actually walk through and briefly be able to view some of what these courageous men endured in doing such a difficult stressful job with the outmost skill was fascinating. It is a tourist attraction but it is also part of our naval history and can provide the best educational experience for students and citizens. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and kept us enthralled with his stories of life aboard the Ojibwa. I shall return and bring out of town visitors to experience this remarkable historic artifact. I sincerely hope that governments on every level lend their support to this venture. This attraction is not to be missed.

We were looking forward to a tour of the Military Museum; the tanks and cannon outside were a preview of what we expected to find inside. The sign outside the museum said that it was open on Sundays from 2 P.M. until 5 P.M. The sign on the window said that it was open until 4 P.M. We arrived at 2:15 - there was an "Open" sign flashing in the window but no one answered when we rang the bell. After waiting for 10 minutes and trying the bell several more times, we left. An hour later we returned for another try but this time the open sign was no longer in the window; obviously some one had been there at some point to change it. We got the impression that whoever was working didn't want to be bothered having visitors.

The Canadian submarine HMCS Ojibwa was opened to the public in the summer of 2013. There are two guided tours available to purchase - one that tours the outside of the submarine, learning about its various features, and one that tours the inside of this fascinating ship. We experienced both tours in the summer of 2013, and again in 2014 and thoroughly enjoyed both, as did our young son.

we took our 11 yr grandchildren and toured the HMCS Ojibwa now stationed at Pt Burwell Ontario off of Lake Erie. It is a Canadian submarine that is mounted on shore and open to visitors over 6 yrs of age.. It offers exciting experiential tours that took us throughout the vessel and gave us a glimps inside the lives of submariners - not sailors and allowed us a greater understanding of the important role the Canadian submariners played in the Cold War. Photos were only allowed in the first chamber and outside of the submarine, which was fine. there was so much to see and learn we could go back again and again. we walked around Pt Burwell, had a nice perch dinner and an icecream cone and some fudge, lots to see and do in Pt Burwell.

What an unwelcoming site! Worst tourist attraction location ever. You spent all that money to bring the sub to Port Burwell only to hide it behinds old looking stores. Barbed wired 8 foot fence - get real. If you are afraid of graffiti use the chemical that will allow graffiti to be washed off with a hose and remove the fence. It should have been placed behind the light house or closer to the water so that it would be visible from the main corner or the water front. What a waste. Will not recommend it to anyone. Too expensive!

Don't miss an opportunity to tour the high and dry submarine, HMCS Ojibwa if you are in South Western Ontario. Museum has done a bang up job of preserving/presenting the ship. Vivid experience of Cold War era, and the role played by submarines and submariners in naval warfare. If you're hesitating because of the distance from the 401, it's worth the trip! Port Burwell, and the Erie shore are additional great reasons to visit.

We were very fortunate that once we paid for the inside Submarine Tour, we did not have to wait very long at all. Our Guide was very knowledgeable, and even though she tried not to rush our tour I felt pressured to move through the ship faster than I would have liked! We were only aloud to take pictures in the first section of the submarine we entered. I would have liked to photograph the Captain's Cabin, the Ship's Galley, and possibly the Bridge. This was not aloud due to time constraints, so the next tour could move on through behind us!Maybe they might consider a tour through the Submarine just for those of us who prefer taking pictures. Just an idea to consider?
