What are you doing for Family Day?
Join The Military Museums for a day spent learning and playing together as a family!
TMM is bringing you extra Family Day fun this year. Hold genuine artifacts, join a gallery tour, watch the Black Powder demonstration, trace your military genealogy, and get answers to "Ask a Conservator" questions about preserving personal historical artifacts.
Kids can do crafts, play a military board game, or head off on a scavenger hunt. Be sure to leave time for a tour of the Blood, Sweat, and Tears: Canadian Military Medicine exhibition and a family photoshoot.
