Musée très intéressant, interactif, très détaillé et visuel. Le fait qu’il soit canadien et les vidéos.

Musée différent par sa modernité (tiroirs et films). La salle des films (salle D) avec les panneaux sur des sujets différents cela m’a agréablement marqué.
Oui, ce musée est différent des autres car il est plus vivant et intéressant. Très bien imaginé et très enrichissant.
Ce que j’ai le plus aimé, c’est les tiroirs et les couleurs. Il n’y avait pas trop de texte et beaucoup de lecture audio, c’était super. Le guide a très bien expliqué, il est très sympathique.

Très bon accueil. Musée très intéressant, extérieur très bien, nous avons appris beaucoup, encore plus que les années précédentes. La visite guidée de la plage me semblait plus détaillée.
Guides (Vanessa, Nitaï et Alexandre) très bien et bon contact. Le nouveau questionnaire et bien adapté aux élèves de 3e.
Une visite pédagogique très agréable et conviviale. Les + : Les guides, des informations des documents, des sources.

La guide (Vanessa) était gentille et comme c’était une canadienne, c’était mieux. Sur le musée, c’était intéressant car il y avait des animations (atelier « Meuble à Histoire » et visite guidée de la plage).

I think this museum was different from others because the guide (Nitai) who did the workshop “History on Wheels” explained so we could understand. It was really good seeing things the soldiers wore/took with them during the war. I liked seeing artifacts and not just hearing about them or looking at a photograph. You can see what the objects were actually like.

This museum was interactive and I really liked the movies. The translation was very good as well. During the guided beach tour I liked the bunkers the best. I hope that the tunnels get cleared for visits as this is fascinating. I would like to have seen more of the machinery used in D-Day and (as is appropriate) a graphic description of the war.

The fact that you fitted in the stops so people could go the graves of some family members was beyond what I would have ever expected and it was greatly appreciated. I know for me personally it was one of the very special points of the trip for me. I thank you very much for making that happen for me. I think it was special for the other people on the trip as well. It made the graves much more personal.
I will bring to my class emotion that I would never have experienced if I hadn't been to the places that we visited. As I walked on the beaches and thought of those poor guys trying to get off the beaches it made me cry.

Somme toute, c’était un voyage très bien organisé qui est allé au-delà de mes attentes. Ma partie préférée du voyage a été d’avoir la chance d’interagir avec les Normands.

Cette visite guidée de la plage nous a appris d’une autre façon le Débarquement. Fouler les plages du Jour J est un moment très fort et très triste car beaucoup de personnes y ont perdus la vie.

Pop-Quizz intéressant et l’animation « Un Canadien en Normandie » a été très apprécié des enfants.

Ce musée était très bien car il est interactif. Avec les livrets (Juno Quizz) nous aimons faire les recherches. Notre animation en anglais “History on Wheels” était difficile à comprendre – vocabulaire plus simple aurait été mieux. Très bien et intéressant, cela nous permet d’apprendre des choses que l’on ignorait. Instructif.

Very interesting visit. “History on Wheels” Workshop – excellent. For the class of French students learning English, a simpler English version of the workshop would be a good idea but keep the same for the booklet for the “Juno Quizz”.

Excellent explanation and hands-on opportunity after (Workshop “History on Wheels”). The students responded well to the questions/answers/then a bit of talk approach with the details about the uniform, and equipment as a focus. Thank you! It would have been helpful to have more time for the total visit – we arrived a little late but I also didn’t realize how much there was to do after the workshop.

Bilton Junior School (United Kingdom)

Nous avons particulièrement aimé les explications sur la plage. Pour s’imaginer les combats, nous avons du faire appel à notre imaginaire. Mais la visite du musée était aussi très intéressante : beaucoup de faits sur le Canada, sur les Canadiens à l’arrière et sur le front. Nous avons plutôt l’habitude de visiter des sites Américains ou Britanniques. Grande disponibilité du guide (Alexandre) qui connait bien le sujet. Gentillesse de l’accueil.

J’ai trouvé ce musée différent des autres car il y a des gens qui viennent d’autres pays. J’ai aimé rencontré « Mario » et « Jeanne » même si ce sont des guides/comédien. La chose qui m’a le plus marqué c’est que « Mario » a perdu 90,000 amis soldats.

Lors de l’animation « Un Canadien en Normandie », le soldat Mario (Matthew) était très convaincant : il a réussi à rendre mes élèves silencieux. Belle prouesse ! L’autre guide (Virginie) était très accueillante, serviable… Deux guides parfaits !

This museum is different from others because you get to do everything yourself. We got to see things that other museums would not let you see, for example the bunkers. The best bits were going into the bunkers and the “Juno Quiz”.

Links Primary School (United Kingdom)
— June 13, 2012
It was a very informative and authentic tour which the children found engaging. All of the activities motivated the children. The educational activity “A Canadian in Normandy” (Mario the soldier) was a good attention grabber. In the museum, the “Juno Quiz” helped the children better understand D-Day and the events surrounding it. Thank you.

Ce musée est différent des autres parce que c’est nous qui devons travailler, chercher l’information et pas seulement écouter une guide. Nous avons aimé entendre l’accent canadien. Nous avons apprécié de commencer par voir un film. Ce musée est moderne. Nous aimons beaucoup pouvoir toucher, aller chercher, regarder et écouter. On ne s’ennuie pas. On est libre d’aller où on veut, de voir ce qu’on veut. Les documents sont intéressants et ce n’est pas trop compliqué. L’animation « Un Canadien en Normandie » (soldat Mario) était super bien. On a aimé les vrais objets du Débarquement. Nous avons été surpris d’apprendre qu’une pioche pouvait sauver la vie d’un soldat. Nous avons aimé voir les uniformes. Grâce à « Mario », on comprend mieux comment s’est passé le Débarquement et on a compris qu’il ne faut pas faire la guerre. En un mot ; c’était génial. Merci pour l’accueil.

L’accueil était excellent. Le musée est tout à fait adapté au public scolaire. Il y a plusieurs niveaux de visite, ce qui est très bien. Le Pop Quizz permet aux enfants d’aller vers l’essentiel. La présentation des documents sous forme de tiroirs ou roulettes est assez ludique, permettant aux enfants les plus en difficultés de s’intéresser au musée.

L’animation « Un Canadien en Normandie » (infirmière Jeanne) était tout à fait passionnante. On s’y croyait ! Le Pop Quizz est très intéressant, très riche mais demande un peu de temps pour répondre à toutes les questions.

Je trouve que le musée est différent des autres car nous sommes sur les lieux de la guerre et le musée a été créé par une association. J’ai beaucoup aimé d’apprendre comment les Allemands s’y sont pris pour attendre l’ennemi. J’ai été marqué par le nombre de Canadiens débarqués sur les plages ainsi que du nombre de morts. J’aurais pensé qu’il y avait plus de monde et plus de morts.
Visite très intéressante, en français, ce qui est très différent des autres musées (plages, diaporamas, explications sur les différentes étapes du Débarquement et l’opposition ennemie).

Ce musée est différent car on peut toucher et voir des artefacts. Les explications étaient claires et précise et nous participons avec les guides (Sylvie et Alexandre). Le film d’introduction est très bien réalisé et très intéressant malgré que l’on ne puisse pas s’assoir. Il est court alors qu’on s’attend à beaucoup plus long. Les cabines d’écoute dans le musée on un très mauvais son et on entend pas très bien.

La présentation pédagogique du « Meuble à Histoire » est captivante. Elle donne vie aux témoignages et à la vie quotidienne des soldats.

I liked the underground bunkers because they were fascinating. There were the original bullet holes. I enjoyed the description from the guide (Scott) about the defense systems on the beach. The museum was really fascinating because there were lots of ‘hands on’ things to do. The introduction film was informative.

I think the Centre is different than others museums because you can go into bunkers. The best thing here is probably all of it because it is so interesting and can find and do a lot at this wonderful museum. Also, the bunker is interesting because the guide (Matthew) described it really well. It was interesting how thick the walls are and how it can’t be destroyed by grenades or tanks.

The best thing was it was very interactive with the uniform and tools during the “History on Wheels” presentation. There are lots of interesting facts. I thought that the bunkers were smaller. The idea of the sand was interesting. The bunkers looked very strong and protective.

J’ai trouvé le musé passionnant ! Le fait d’arriver avec cette atmosphère froide et réelle nous donne envie d’en savoir plus sur la guerre. La présentation des objets et les commentaires lors de l’activité pédagogique du « Meuble à Histoire » sont très bien agencés. On se sent plongé dans une période de guerre qui nous fait frissonner.

Le Meuble à Histoire et la visite guidée de la plage incluant le blockhaus nous a beaucoup plus. Ce musée est différent des autres parce qu’on pouvait toucher les uniformes des soldats. C’était bien de pouvoir prendre des photos.

Le guide (Matthew) était très intéressant et s’est mis à la portée des jeunes en expliquant les choses de manière simple. Le « Meuble à Histoire » est une activité pédagogique très ludique. Les commentaires sous les photos sont courts et simples et donnent envie de lire. C’était très bon de pouvoir disposer de la salle polyvalente pour le pique-nique. Très bon accueil. Très bien aussi les commentaires bilingues.

The museum is different and special because it presents interesting information and objects in a fun way. We particularly enjoyed the videos and the artefacts belonging to people who lived at that time. In addition, the personal stories and experiences told made the visit more interesting. However, the introduction film was too short and didn’t give information clearly. Overall, it’s a great museum that we enjoyed.

Our guide (Matthew) was very informative and interesting. He really helped the students to appreciate the unique role of Canada as well as what happened on D-Day. His explanations were clear, nuanced, and balanced. The museum was very engaging and interesting for our students. Very well done.

Ce musée est différent des autres car on a appris de nouvelles choses sur l’histoire du Canada avec une dynamique différente et très intéressante. Visiter le bunker était intéressant puisqu’il s’agissait d’une première ! Il était intéressant d’en savoir davantage sur le Débarquement et sur les tactiques utilisées par les Allemands.
Le guide (Mikael) a su piquer la curiosité de nos élèves par son enthousiasme et ses connaissances variées. Musée riche et varié. Cette visite a permis de comprendre une parcelle de l’histoire tout en visualisant le site de ces événements. Merci très intéressant !

This museum is different because you could really see the efforts to link the memorial with today’s youth by giving not just the statistics of how many Canadians died but also sharing the more personal stories of the Canadian troops.

Most Canadians have a family member or friend who fought in WWII; for me it was my great uncle. While I studied their sacrifice in school, the true nature of their valour never materialized until now. It is truly amazing to be on the beach that only 68 years ago they stormed, against unbelievable resistance. Through the location, exhibits, and multi-media this museum brought this profound realization to life.

Supervising a group of younger students (12-13 years old), both they and I really enjoyed the visit! The museum is clearly laid out. Exhibits were exciting and just detailed enough. It made for a really refreshing change from the other stuffy, cramped museums.
The students seemed to especially enjoy the cultural readings – it made the whole thing come to life apparently. On the whole, a great museum!
I enjoyed listening to the videos as they were really interesting. I also liked the guided beach including a tour of the bunker as our tour guide (Matthew) told us about how the Germans used them. I would definitely recommend this museum as it was very welcoming ... unlike some other museums.

We really enjoyed Mario’s (Eric) presentation as it gave us a chance to understand D-Day from a different point of view. The guides (Mikael & Eric) were very friendly and the exhibitions were very interesting. Although we thought the Juno Quiz was slightly dull, overall it has been a brilliant day out.

Guides (Mikael & Eric) were friendly and spoke at children’s level. During the educational presentation “Mario” engaged the children and was very informative. He helped the children to realize that war isn’t like in the computer games. Last year, children were able to handle some of the artefacts. The Juno Quiz kept the children engaged around the museum.
Derek Thomas (teacher)
Hall Green Junior School (United Kingdom)
This museum is one of the best war museums I’ve been too. The exhibits and information are presented in a creative and clear way, making the information more unique and interesting, capturing the imagination of the individual. The importance of this museum is to stand for the Canadian soldiers who have fallen, and to honour their memory.

Our group really enjoyed the experience here. It was refreshing to explore a museum that used various types of media to depict stories from our countries’ past. The videos were very interesting; and the text was informative and straight-forward, which was nice because we did not find ourselves overwhelmed while exploring the exhibits. The museum was very impressive and we thoroughly enjoyed the way in which the history was displayed. It really helped each of us to appreciate our history more and truly reflect on the amazingly brave soldiers who fought for the freedom of others here on Juno Beach.

I did find this museum quite different from others. I really liked how our group was given an introduction from a tour guide (Mikael - whose humour was much appreciated), and the different forms of information throughout the museum. The mix of forms of information throughout the museum, the mix of video, oral and written helps people really understand what this experience would have been like. The artefacts and pictures also helped everything seem much more real. It was a joy and I learned a lot! Thanks for creating this site!

The beginning movie and setup was very different. It showed a lot about the general goings on of the war and the individual soldier; most museums focus on one of the others. My favourite part was the actual artefacts. (I like to see artefacts being preserved and cared for) I especially liked the barnacle covered helmet and gun.

DP Todd Secondary (British Columbia, Canada)

Very well laid out for teens. An introductory film and then the students are free to wander at their own speed and according to their interests, throughout the interactive displays.
This museum was really good. It was different because it made Canadian history so much more amazing! I like listening to the broadcasts! It was really informative!

This museum is very different because the tour started out with our guide telling us stories that he has heard from veterans of the war. This brings a great atmosphere for the museum and makes it personal. As well, all the interactive parts in the museum made it even more interesting while visiting.

L’« Histoire » narrée par notre guide Mikael (visite guidée du Parc Juno) était intéressante et il était facile de suivre le fil de ses idées. C’est une expérience d’apprentissage sans pareille pour les élèves du cours d’histoire du Canada. Merci pour votre accueil chaleureux.

I found this museum to be different from the others. I liked how the guide (Matthew) was Canadian and therefore we could understand and connect with him better. I also like the video at the beginning of the museum; it helps to get into the mindset of a soldier. Lastly, I liked all the headsets throughout the museum so we could listen to what we liked.

This museum was different because of all the artefacts from World War II and the information was really engaging rather than boring to listen to. We were intrigued by the great introduction movie because it really had a 360 degree view of what the soldiers went through. Amazing tour! Thank you very much for preserving artefacts and teaching others about World War II.

A visit to a place such as Juno Beach and the surrounding region is immensely important to all Canadians, in particular students. After visiting Juno, students have a much richer understanding of what Remembrance means for them and the rest of the world. There is nothing that we can do in our classrooms that can ever duplicate this experience.
Gail Wilson (teacher)

J’ai trouvé ce musée différent de tous les autres car je pouvais vraiment m’imaginer ce que les soldats ont vécu. Puisque nous avons visité la plage, j’ai mieux compris cet événement parce que j’ai visité le même lieu où les soldats canadiens ont débarqué lors du Jour-J. En plus, je crois que toutes les photos ainsi que tous les objets des anciens soldats entreposés dans le musée ont approfondi nos connaissances. Puisque ceci fut ma deuxième visite au Centre Juno, j’ai quand même ressenti la même énergie que lors de ma première visite. J’ai beaucoup aimé le fait que l’exposition soit temporaire, car nous pouvons visiter le musée plus d’une fois avec différentes expériences à chaque fois. Ce qui m’a le plus marqué était notre visite de la plage comme tel.

Nous avons trouvé ce musée différent, puisqu’il était plus interactif que la moyenne. Les manières variées dont les différentes sections du musée sont montées donnent à leur contenu une valeur ajoutée. La visite du bunker était intéressante. Certains auraient apprécié si quelques tétraèdres avaient pu être sur la plage pour donner une meilleure idée de l’état de la plage lors du débarquement.

This museum shed a different light from what we learn in schools. I learned a lot more than I thought I would. I liked the guide beach tour.

I thoroughly enjoyed this museum thank you for being so welcoming to us Canadians.

L’intervention du soldat Mario (présentation pédagogique « Un Canadien en Normandie ») était très convaincante ; les élèves ont été pris à la présentation de son histoire. Le soldat Mario a réussi à donner vie au passé. Les élèves ont pu porter différents uniformes de l’époque, nourrissant ainsi leur imagination. Les élèves ont pris de bon cœur la recherche du « Pop Quizz ».

This museum is different than others. It gives detailed and clear accounts of the military operations in WWII. It takes into account the details and explanations behind the various actions and battles that the Canadian divisions fought in, as well as the general background and lives/stories of our soldiers. It puts a welcomed emphasis on the men and women who fought during the Second World War; without being influenced by other topics. The explanations of the German defences and the beach with a guide add a level of realism that is often lost in other museums and on the people visiting.

Our guide (Eric) is very passionate about and proud of our history. He is a good story teller who put much of the Juno Beach landing into perspective creating real and sobering images in our minds. Favourite statement by Eric: “For our soldiers, D-Day and Juno Beach was only the beginning”.

This museum is different than others because there is a variety of listening devices. It adds to the experience because you have a better understanding of what was happening during the war. I liked the old artefacts that were displayed in the museum because I could also visually see what things looked like back then.

Appreciate being welcomed by a Canadian! The explanation of the landing on the beach (during the guided beach tour) was interesting. I saw many students looking proud. The museum is interactive and the visual and auditory displays are so well done. I especially liked the radio display with the proclamations of war.
Lisa Berk (teacher)
Salmo Secondary (British Columbia, Canada)
— March 16, 2012
The museum was unique because it utilized video footage on the various historical topics covered throughout the exhibits. Exploring the beach with a guide was the visual information which assisted to provide a more in depth idea of the horrors of D-Day and of World War II.

I found this museum to be different than others as the guide told us both stories and facts. It made his presentation very interesting. I enjoyed the museum as we were free to visit what interested us.

Excellent presentation of “History on Wheels” by our guide (Matthew). Being able to examine the uniform and touch all the exhibits was unusual. Also the presentation of the memorabilia was very interesting. Thank you!
Agnete Murphy (teacher)
St. Mary's Diocesan School (Ireland)
— March 15, 2012
The museum was different as it had different mediums to experience the history prior to and during the war. I feel that the experience was all the more palpable because we were able to see footage and hear the various speeches made by world leaders (Hitler, Chamberlain, etc). Being on the beaches of Normandy is indescribable.

Ce que j’ai trouvé différent, c’est que ce musée est le plus grand et celui qui explique le mieux. J’ai aimé le petit film d’introduction.

Il y a beaucoup de matériel ancien. L’animation avec Mario a été notre moment préféré. La vitrine avec le matériel rouillé et les tickets de rationnement était intéressante.
Julien et Dorian (student)
Ecole Victor Hugo (France)
— March 14, 2012
Pour des élèves de CM2 (10-11 ans), l’animation « Mario, un Canadien en Normandie » est excellente. Les enfants comprennent beaucoup mieux les réalités de la guerre. Les salles du musée sont très bien présentées et offrent une documentation très riche.
Catherine Chardon (teacher)

— March 14, 2012
Wow! Quel beau musée! Oui j’ai adoré la diversité des faits et objets trouvés, ainsi que la première salle qui permettait vraiment de comprendre l’histoire du Canada et de se remémorer la chronologie des événements. J’ai apprécié la variété d’expériences/preuves/faits auxquels nous avons assistés. Il y en avait pour tous : visuels, auditifs, kinesthésiques… Ce qui m’a le plus marqué, c’est la vidéo : « Chut, on vous écoute », documentaire de propagande dans la salle C-2. Il s’agit de quelque chose que je n’aurais sûrement jamais visionné ailleurs. Petit conseil : vous pourriez ajouter l’année dans le titre de l’article afin de mieux situer les visiteurs au premier coup d’œil dans le temps.

Quel beau musée! Il permet à tous de bien comprendre le contexte de la guerre et le rôle qu’ont joué les Canadiens civils et membres de l’aviation, de la marine et de l’armée. Les vidéos, les images et les textes sont captivants, intéressants et très informatifs. Bravo ! Je suis, encore une fois, fier d’être Canadien.

Layout is nice but seems to jump from year to year. A more organized exhibition in chronological order would be less confusing. The facts are clearly presented and easy to understand without much background knowledge.

The video focuses too much on Operation Neptune and not enough on Operation Overlord.

— March 14, 2012
I found this museum did an exceptional job at giving a feel for what the soldiers actually experienced. Allowing the group to walk on the beach where numerous soldiers died was a great way to get a feel for what the soldiers had to do. Everyone coming here should walk on the beach. Once inside the museum though the content got much more personal with pictures, names, and letters. Where other museums just gave a number of soldiers on the field, this museum gave actual names and faces you could connect to.
Neven G. (student)

The museum was well divided, easily understood, and very informative. The students learned a lot in a short amount of time.

This museum is different from others. There is so much interactive knowledge all around as well as original articles from the war. I have taken a course in 10th grade about Canadian history where we looked into WWII and I found that the museum has taught me just as much, if not more, in under 30 minutes. Very education and inspirational.

The museum was very well done. There is a good combination of reading and visuals. The introduction film in the landing craft is a great way to enter the museum. We also really liked the timeline approach leading up to the war. Very well done… Also excellent introduction to the museum by our guide (Matthew)! Well done! We learned a lot. Proud to be Canadian. Thank you!

I found this museum to be very interactive and grabs people’s attention through the movies that surrounded the walls to the drawers and revolving information pieces with the museum. The interactive aspects of this museum stood out from the rest.

Our guide (Eric) conveyed his own interest and enthusiasm for this place and subject; it was passed onto the students who listened with good attention. This guided tour on the beach was the second time in 8 trips + was the highlight of the Juno trip.
Jim Thompson (teacher)
Pinetree Secondary (British Columbia, Canada)
— March 14, 2012
Students enjoyed the “hands-on” exhibits and interactive learning tools. The chronological intro to the background of Canada pre-1940 was clear and eye-catching. The museum’s display of touchable artefacts was great. My students liked the free flow concept. They could go back and forth at will as they proceeded through the museum.

This museum was definitely a defining moment of my trip to France. The introduction film to the museum was very original and very moving. Actually getting to stand on Juno Beach after learning about it in history class was incredible.

The museum is different from others because it is very bright and with lots of design. I liked how there were many real life examples of the stuff used. I also enjoyed the colouring corner. The video at the start was very cool. Good job!

Your museum was very interactive. There was so much information that was covered in such detail. I learned a lot today. I liked the entrance (introduction film) to the museum the best: gives you the perspective of the soldiers.

So much information! Uniforms were very interesting. A lot of recorded information. It was nice to have a Canadian guide (especially from the same high school!) to teach us about the legacy of the Canadian soldiers and their sacrifice from the perspective of someone from the same generation. It was an honour to volunteer and to remember and respect the soldiers who fought for our freedom. Thank you for the opportunity.

We didn’t visit the museum however I found that the guide (Eric) was very well educated on the battles that went on Juno Beach. What I liked the best during the guided tour of Juno Park was going inside the bunker. It was a great experience and I could really get a feel of how the soldiers lived. It surprised me that the Germans were so well prepared. I also loved the beach. It’s so beautiful it’s hard to imagine what went on here not that long ago.

I found the museum perfect. What I liked most was having someone take us around and explain to us the events that took place. It was really helpful to understand what happened. There were a lot of things I learned that I never knew before. I’m really happy I got to come here and have this experience. Having a guide (Matthew) who is also Canadian made this experience a lot more amazing.

Brenda Burt (teacher)

The museum has lots of good video which outlined what the writing was talking about so people who don’t like reading can still get everything out of it. The artefacts are so interesting and allow you to feel more like you were in the shoes of the soldiers. I found the different methods of communicating information very helpful and interesting.

The personal stories and reflection helps to make what happened here “real” since we met “real” people. The impact on families back home and on women is an important story to tell.

J’ai trouvé ce musée bien diffèrent des autres grâce à l’information très diverse qu’il contenait. De plus, j’ai trouvé que c’était très intéressant, car les nombreuses images qu’il contenait étaient de très bonne qualité. Je crois que ce sont les reportages à la télévision qui m’ont beaucoup marqué, car je trouvais qu’ils « me faisaient rentrer dans l’histoire ».

J’aime que le musée se concentre seulement sur l’histoire des Canadiens. Les photos sont belles et bien imprimées. Les choses importantes y sont toutes. On comprend mieux l’histoire de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. On voit ce que nos ancêtres ont vécu.
It was very interactive and fun. I like the movie in the beginning.

La chronologie est parfaitement respectée / objets, films, scénographie (1ère pièce). Les guides (Mikael et Matthew) savent s’y prendre avec les élèves et la visite du Parc Juno (incluant le bunker) était un plus. Cependant, pourquoi ne voit-on pas un des bunkers en dehors de celui d’observation ?

My impression of the Juno Beach Centre is very good. The passport system in the temporary exhibit is a great way to make the museum more fun and interesting to a younger audience. It is great that we can touch some of the artefacts. It gives us a better idea of what it would have been like.
Matthew J. (student)
The Priory City of Lincoln Academy (United Kingdom)
— February 21, 2012
My impression of the Juno Beach Centre is that it was very informative and is suitable for most age groups. The passport system in the temporary exhibit is a good idea because people can take away a piece of information about different soldiers involved in D-Day. It helps us learn even more about the soldiers that took part in the war.
Natalie W. (student)

The highlights of the museum: Presentation – hands on for students – EXCELLENT ! The highlights of Juno Park (guided visit): Original bunkers & Excellent knowledge of our guide (Mikael) – Well done. The highlights of the temporary exhibit: Well done, excellent.
* Keep the same presentation; Canadian staff a must. Well done.

My overall impression of the Juno Beach Centre was that it was quite interactive and gave the perspective of some individual soldiers. I found it very informative with its different visuals, tactile and audio aspects. It allowed me to see the museum as more than an average history museum.

I really enjoyed the exhibits, especially the videos and the interactive activities. The map of Canada at the beginning of the permanent exhibit was very nice however it was quite out of date. One of my favourite parts was the artefacts from the Essex Scottish Regiment, which is from my hometown of Windsor, Ontario. The whole museum was very interactive and intimate. I loved it.
