This museum is the place where over one million people first set foot in Canada between 1928 and 1971. It’s a national historic site that tells real stories of newcomers and their journeys, using interactive exhibits, artifacts, and personal accounts. The building itself is a piece of history, once serving as an ocean liner terminal.
- The museum is most popular for its moving and personal immigration stories, shared through multimedia displays and real objects.
- There’s a replica ship cabin and train car, letting you see what travel was like for newcomers.
- The Oral History Centre lets you listen to first-hand accounts from people who passed through the terminal.
- Experience Real Stories: Hear and see what it was like for people arriving in a new country, with personal stories that make history feel real.
- Step Into History: Walk through spaces that look just like the ones immigrants used, like ship cabins and train cars.
- Interactive Exhibits: Try hands-on activities and digital displays that make learning about the past interesting and easy to understand.
- Plan to book tickets at least a few days in advance, especially during weekends or holidays.
- No special dress code, but comfy shoes are a good idea since you’ll be walking through exhibits.
- The best time to visit is in the morning when it’s quieter and you can take your time exploring.
