GO UNDERGROUND!

Join our guides on a tour of this once secret bunker! Live Cold War history by visiting the place where Canada's government would have come in time of nuclear war.

Tours of this unique facility take visitors through a time warp to 1960s era government rooms, living quarters and cryptographic areas. Visitors enjoy a guided tour of the entire bunker, over 100,000 square feet in size, four storeys underground. Some of the focal points will include the Prime Minister’s suite, the War Cabinet Room, the CBC Radio studio, the Bank of Canada vault, and the Emergency Government Situation Centre.

The museum is open to the general public, tourist and school groups by guided tour. Please click on the options on the left-hand bar to find out more about how you can visit us and what you'll find here.
