Honestly such a great museum for anyone interested in D-day history, particularly the Canadian version. The museum really delves deep and provides detailed information about the Canadian role in the war. There is also a temporary exhibit about Dieppe which is well worth visiting. Highly recommended for all and there is free parking.

This is a must visit if coming to Normandy to learn more about D-Day. Deep dive into the landings on Juno, which were the second bloodiest of the landings, but also a wider look at Canadian society and Canadian war effort in WW2, which was fascinating. Worthwhile doing the Juno Bunker Tour too if you have the extra 45mins to go into some renovated bunkers which aren’t accessible to the public. Also the grounds and area nearby is littered with other cool bunkers & memorials so a great place to wander around

What a wonderful centre. The displays are really innovative and informative. The young man on reception was great and the whole experience was 5 stars. Some very clever ideas here. BUT to top it all for us was the secure bike lockers and the tool stand that deserves a big thanks. In 2019 we had our bikes stolen in Spain so now worried everytime we need to leave them. The lockers are brilliant, well done to whoever decided to install these and the idea of offering a discount on the entrance charge for using said lockers is a genius. Do not miss this centre it is a bargain and a educational resource for those who want to understand why so many soldiers died so we could have a better future.

A very well thought out museum. It takes the approach to understand the implications of canada entering the war and provide a great presentation of what was happening in Canada and what was happening in the battlefield. As a consequence, this quite a mature museum with a lot of reading and not too much to see. The bunker visit is also interesting if you have never done one.

A must for anyone visiting Juno beach to learn about D-Day and to appreciate the sacrifice of the Canadian soldiers there. This is a small museum with some interesting exhibits. Your visit begins with a short immersive video of landing on the beach on D-Day (not graphic, suitable for children) before the entrance to the exhibits. The first room is mainly information about Canada, but the main exhibit contains radio broadcasts and information on WWII planes and much more. Your visit ends with a longer film on the war (also suitable for children). The final room of the museum before the gift shop is mostly anecdotes for Canadians, citizens and immigrants about what it is like to be Canadian. As others have mentioned, the museum can be a bit dry. There’s a lot of information presented within a short time. And at least 50% of it is about Canada, rather than the war, Juno Beach, and/or Canadian soldiers - which I found a bit strange given the location. But also, maybe it’s just that I am Canadian, so the information wasn’t new to me. Overall: Worth the visit.
