We wanted to understand what the Canadian soldiers went through when they landed on Juno Beach. The museum is very well laid out. It is easy to see the exhibits. We wanted to see the beach itself.

There is so much to see and do and learn here. We could have spent a lot more time in the museum. The kids seemed quite impressed. They were awed by the bunkers and the view from the beach. Definitely worth the visit, and a group, from our school, is already planning to return next year.

It meant a lot to me to see the history of my country honored in another. It shows how our countries are united. I saw the clothes and weapons men used and their names honored. I can now reflect and understand what they went through for our countries. It is a great museum full of information.

For me the experience was very meaningful from the beginning where we were able to experience the fear and anxiety of the soldiers as they landed on the beach to the end where we were able to reflect on where Canada is today and how the contributions of those brave men and women enabled us to get there.

It was an emotional and interesting experience. It gave me a better understanding of Canada’s role in the war. I was able to see the beach, the museum, and several memorials. Memories that I will take away with me from this experience is the images that I saw in the museum of how the war affected people and the sounds clips of the reports made the war seem so much more real to me. My overall impression is that it was very well done and effective in honoring the Canadians who fought in the war and allowing people to remember the war and our country’s accomplishments.
