I was with my three kids. The weather wasn't nice... so perfect timing for a museum. This one is fun because you get to actually spend time in a submarine. You can even reserve for a night I you wish. Things are well explained and the visit doesn't take too long. We loved it.

We went there mostly for the relic sub Onondaga. Quite expensive for the time the tour lasts. Interesting though. If you have never been in a sub, it is an experience to discover. For a man, if you are tall, it's a problem. Inside height is reduced. Small places to sleep for crew, as a matter of fact, every places inside the sub are small. But I suppose it has to be like that. Musuem in the area, but also pricey. Good video of the former Empress of Ireland that sunk around there.

Really enjoyed our visit to the site. Unfortunately time was short so didn't get a chance to have a look at everything available.The look around the Onondaga was particular fun because we had the opportunity to get a very personal tour from my brother who was a previous commanding officer of the submarine. Eventhough the audio tour is very informative it couldn't compare to seeing him like a "kid in a candy store" revisiting HIS old boat!The whole site is really well looked after and the Staff in attendance were very friendly

Three museums in one area. You can either purchase tickets to see one or a combination of two or all three. Quite pricey considering the tours to all three can be completed within 2 hours. However, the exhibits are well curated and easy to cruise along ( no pun intended). The relic submarine Onondaga is a self guided audio tour. The Empress of Ireland has a video presentation that eerily includes you on the screen as one of the passengers sitting on the ill-fated ship's bow deck. The lighthouse exhibit is a collection of maritime officers houses and the lighthouse itself. Architecturally odd, the concrete tower apparently resurrected from the site of many destroyed lighhouses before it.

The submarine Onondaga is the star of this museum (which also has a building devoted to the sinking of the Empress of Ireland, and a lighthouse). Visitors walk at their won pace through the submarine, with a very good audio guide, a guide detailed enough to let the reality of a submariner's life sink in. Since it is a real sub, there is no way people with difficulty walking can visit. The site, on the Saint Lawrence, is beautiful.

This is a must see site. Not only can you visit Canada'a only submarine museum, but climb the lighthouse, see a magnificent movie regarding the sinking of RMS Empress of Ireland, and visit the new Hanger 14 which teaches us how people lived during the 1914. Food is great and what a view of the sunsets. Living at Point-Au-Pere, I highly recommend that you visit the site. A great time for all the family and history oozing out of every building!

The Onondaga submarine is a very nice attraction! The submarine is huge from the outside and it becomes so interesting when you enter inside! This is a visit by yourself, with an audio and you can go throughout the submarine at the speed you want to learn a lot of things. This visit is a unique experience. The lighthouse and the Empress of Ireland museum are also great attractions that worth the visit. The little movie about the Empress of Ireland is well done and captivating.

A slice of canadian and world history in the forms of one of the worst maritime disasters, as well as a real submarine and one of the highest lighthouses and the former pilot station make this a information-rich stop, but they've pulled off a nice balance, making t fun and interesting, not too heavy. Count around 2-3 hours for the full tour, even with kids. About $23 per adult

Different activities offered on site, for everybody. Museum, visit of the submarine Onondaga, multimedia show, exhibition, visit of the lighthouse, etc. It is really worth the visit and it is made to catch everybody's attention and interest. You don't want to miss it! :)

This maritime heritage site has something for everyone: the story of the sinking of the Empress of Ireland was a tragedy of the highest order but swept away by events later in 1914. The exhibition begins with an excellent film show complete with special events! We loved the salty old sea dog actor who was available to fill in the detail. He really looked the part!Next stop is the old lighthouse which you climb with guides. The submarine is worth a visit in its own right, although the audio guide is a little cheesy. We also liked the separate exhibit "hangar" dedicated to 1914, which had a refreshingly new format. All in all a good site in what can be a bleak region.
