Having enjoyed the museum many times as a guest and used the venue for a conference, we decided to have our wedding at the Museum and it was total perfection. Linda and her team took care of every detail. We had the option for an indoor or outdoor ceremony, and chose to have the ceremony inside and the dinner outside, which boasts a picturesque view of downtown. We brought in our own caterer and musicians, and the Museum took care of the rest, including the bar and setting up the chairs and tables for the reception. It was lovely to have the museum to browse in between the ceremony and reception, and the surroundings - including the gorgeous museum itself and the Basilica beside it - were stellar for pictures. Highly recommend a visit to the museum if you're in town, and as a venue for an event.

This is a wonderful place to visit. It’s a beautiful old stone building with a glass extension as the entrance and an open stairway. Since it’s located on a hill, the view from the top floor of the glass part has an amazing view of the City of Guelph. I love bringing my kids here to play in the family gallery. It’s so nice to have a fun place for them to play and learn about new things that it so inexpensive. They absolutely LOVE coming here. I highly recommend visiting here if you have kids, or if you would just like to learn about the history of Guelph. It’s a lovely place and a gem right in the centre of Guelph.

I have been bringing kids to this museum for many years and every time we go I am always very happy we visited. Their staff are very friendly and helpful and their kids discovery area is amazing. You can tell a lot of through went into the centre. I would love to see some of the exhibits in the discovery centre change from time to time - new toys added etc but I understand the challenges with doing this. All in all we love it here!

Had some time to kill so thought I'd check it out. Don't regret it at all. While small the collections at the museum are very detailed and interesting. Really gives you a great image of the history of Guelph from before colonisation until recent times. While only one floor is open due to renovations the staff was kind enough to give me a re-entry ticket for when I visit again. $5 entry is very affordable.

It’s my first time to visit Guelph. This museum introduces a very interesting history of Guelph town. It’s nice to bring kids there to get such useful knowledge. Also, there are some facilities for children to discover some fun there. Give it a chance to visit. :)
