Our son went to the March Break camp and I can't say enough good things about it! It was super engaging (equal or greater than others like Children's Museum!), with so many different activities. We signed up for a week of Summer Camp, I can't believe it doesn't sell out immediately—although maybe it's best kept secret!
The Museum of Ontario Archaeology offers a captivating journey through the rich history of the region, showcasing a diverse collection of artifacts and exhibits. From interactive displays to insightful guided tours, visitors are treated to a comprehensive exploration of Ontario's vibrant archaeological heritage. With knowledgeable staff and engaging presentations, it's an educational and enriching experience for all ages.
Museum was very cool as was the workshop. I only removed one star from my rating as we attended with 5 kids aged 6-12 and I felt the tour guide we got wasn't used to kids? She wasn't able to present educational info in an accessible way for the younger ones. Used a lot of big words and long explanations. 12 year old thought it was great, but the other 4 were bored and confused a lot. Could have been a bit more kid friendly to simplify explanations.
***Went when I was 5 --- I'm 37......😆
My son is an avid collector of minerals, rocks, crystals, bones, and fossil's!!!! He's been this way since he was 3 ... And is now 6. He's avidly looking forward to coming and visiting.... I'm not too sure how much a tour will set you back .... But we'll get every penny worth with our son asking a million questions - but remembering the answers for LIFE. #REALLIFE Sheldon Cooper only way cuter and brave !!!

I was incredibly surprised by the thought and care placed by the staff for our visit. They were patient with our questions, gave us ample time to explore further exhibits on our own and use the drone we brought to use on the Lawson site. It eas especially thrilling have the augmented reality tour outside at the Lawson site. I will definitely be going back again. I felt like I learned a lot.
Amazing place to visit, they have VR and personal guided tours and Outdoor Lawson site
We had a great day and learned alot. The staff made this trip very fun and informative. We will come back again and we have already recommended this place to other families. I do wish we could have gone inside of a longhouse though. The gift shop is great. Bring money
