Tourism Highlights<br />

Canadian War Museum: (http://www.warmuseum.ca/home/)<br />

Only a 15 minute walk from the hotel, the Canadian War Museum offers an amazing experience with<br />

a great taste of Canadian Heritage! Admission is $10 for students, and is FREE on Thursdays from<br />

4-8pm.<br />

Museum of Civilization: (http://www.civilization.ca/home)<br />

A 20 minute walk from the hotel (or a 10 minute bus ride) the Museum of Civilization is an interactive<br />

museum with a 3-D Imax theatre. Like the War Museum, it is $10 for students, and FREE on<br />

Thursdays from 4-8pm for general admission. Imax is $14 for students (valid student I.D. required).<br />

While in the nation’s capital, it’s almost essential that you swing by the Parliament of <strong>Canada</strong>. Only a<br />
