Military Communications And Electronics Museum

I gave it 5 stars even though it was closed the day we were there. Seems like it should be interesting to any signals person.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure

Great museum. So much history to see and learn from the place.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

We visited on a weekday so very few other customers. Very much reminded me of days spent with my father at West Island Amateur Radio Club field days, and working on his latest amateur radio related project.

One of the most interesting places to visit in Kingston, learning stories about how Canadian military made history in communications. The museum is huge, enough for about an hour of tour, and there's a kit shop inside!

Very interesting to see the implementation of technology from Morse code and flags to what we currently use. Some cool things for kids to see, mostly for interested teenagers and up my opinion. There is lots to read and lots to see if you want to really dive in. I went with 2 smaller kids, they were most engaged when they got to see the tank, and other vehicles. Personally I really enjoyed it. I will likley return again alone or when kids are older.

It was very nostalgic to see how much communication has changed since WW1. I really enjoyed the layout and the self guided tour. Very fun would go back when in kingston again.

We have a large number of museums in Kingston and I believe the Military Communications Museum is the largest. It recently went through a major enlargement in order to house the large trucks jammed full of communications equipment and big pieces of communications towers. Still there are all sorts of human size exhibits and displays from the original museum. Much use is made of mannequins wearing uniforms and communications equipment. The First World War is also widely represented in artifacts, photographs and artwork. This visit to the Museum was part of March break. The kids and grandkids were able to make take-aways such as Murney Towers and bracelets representing Morse code letters. They could also engage in activities where they could connect electronic and electrical items to make things happen.

A good look into the history of the Communications Branch of the Canadian army. Very informative and well laid out. The vehicle gallery is really neat! Also has a section for RCEME. I really enjoyed my visit :

Great fun hidden gem of a museum in Kingston. Entry is not free for most but was inexpensive. We paid extra to play their Spymaster challenge which was super fun and worth it.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
