founders' hall印象
-
The main touist information centre on the island - with some interesting exhibits providing an insight in Prince Edward Island's past & present
-
Well done exhibit. It was interesting to go through with the "reporters" to learn about the history of the Confederation. The headset (mine was in English) worked well and you could repeat the audio if needed. I would have liked to have seen more books on Canadian history in the gift shop. Most items were related to Ann of Green Gables - which probably sell well, but didn't have anything to do with the Hall itself.

Very close, walking distance from cruise terminal. Well worth a visit to understand a lot of the history of this lovely town and beautiful Prince Edward Island.

Founders' Hall is a quick walk-through experience where you learn about the founding of Canada and the addition of its provinces and territories. While it's well laid out and pitches at a good level of information, the attraction itself does seem a little cheesy and there's nothing truly historic remaining at the site itself. Kids will like it but I'm sure there's a YouTube video that condenses the same story down to a minute or two.

The information was presented in a fun and interesting way. It's a spoof TV newscast from the 1864 Charlottetown Conference. My issue was more with the technology. There is no reason why I should be hearing static in the headphones in between stations or have to wonder if I'm at the right spot or facing the right direction for the clip to start. I was recently at the Loch Ness Museum in Scotland and they had a similar type of display there but it worked seemlessly. If the Scotts can figure it out, we should be able to as well. The whole thing takes about 45 minutes. Probably a bit long and boring for the kids, but they do try to make it entertaining. Location is right down in the waterfront in the information centre.

Should have done this tour 1st as it gave a lot more back ground to the area & the history of our country. The only frustration it took a while to purchase tickets as the attendants were tied up.

When visiting the tourist information center in downtown Charlottetown, make sure you take in the "The Birthplace of Conferderation". It was an excellent informative tour. The holovisuals added to the experience. A must see!

The small museum was worth a visit - really enjoyed it and found Canada's pre-Confederation history very interesting.
-
A nice attempt to spoon feed the masses the history of founding of Canada. I found the audio had problems technically. Also a bit hooky they way they do the presentation, in my opinion. Felt it was dumbed down . Somewhat insulting.

We were told to go to Dave's for a lobster roll, and we did so after church on Sunday. Huge, packed with lobster! Great advice.
