rideau canal museum印象

This is simply one fabulous museum if you are a history buff and want to know more about the history of this engineering marvel from the 1820's.

Despite having relatives who have lived in this area for decades, this was everyone's first visit to the museum and we learned a great deal about the amazing canal system. The set up was informative and everything you would expect from a small museum. We arrived at 2 in the afternoon and were the first visitors of the day, so you don't have to worry about crowds.

Nice friendly staff, donation cost and a nice display. Stopped by accident, but sure glad we did. We now want to come back to the area and visit more of the Rideau Canal.

They have a lookout point at the top of the Tower in the Museum and you can see the Locks and Rideau River and the countryside for miles around, I was fortunate to visit this while working for ABCE-Language School teaching French to Parks Canada employees.

The museum provides well displayed historical background information that helps understand the amazing series of interconnected canals, rivers, and lakes. The fact that so much of the almost 200 year old system is original construction and still functions so smoothly is a tribute to the skills and dedication of it's engineers and workers who built it under often brutal working conditions. This museum elegantly tells their story.This was one of the best stops on a pleasant and leisurely 5-day cruise along the Rideau Waterway System from Kingston to Ottawa aboard the Karwatha Voyageur. Living afloat on what is really a charming country inn is clearly the best way to totally experience the waterway. Running firmly aground in a narrow part of a river provided an unexpected element of excitement to an otherwise placid cruise. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Museum is great although they are working on the lookout tower so that was not available. There is no charge in 2013 for visiting the museum. Well worth the time and very knowledgeable and friendly staff.So glad we stopped.

The exhibit is fun and educational. As a canal fanatic, I didn't expect to learn anything, but I learned plenty. The local Parks Canada office is trying to raise money to display more artifacts.

It was raining in Smiths Falls and wanted something interesting to do with a 6 year old so we spent time at the Museum. Did not expect to stay so long nor enjoy it as much as we did, but we both learned lots and had a great time. The staff was excellent, knowledgeable and full of ideas to keep a young boy interested - he thought it would be boring and surprised the heck out of him - I am still hearing about the day at the museum looking from the top of the tower to finding all the endangered species amongst all the floors not to mention some good videos too. Thanks for the great day !

There is an 8-minute introductory film in the basement, one that is quite well-done. Then starting on the top (4th) floor there are interpretative displays--on two floors with an interactive quiz of 10 questions that is fun to take. We thought the top floor was the best, and it was the one that focused most on the canal history. The two guides we interacted with (one male, one female, but we didn't catch their names)were excellent and took the time to give us advice about other area attractions as well as responding to our questions about the exhibits. This was a fine stop, and one we'll recommend to anyone.

Fascinating 19th century river locks still in use connecting from Ottawa to Lake Ontario. The visitor can see the locks and the nearby museum.
