Ontario Provincial Police Museum — Attraction in Ontario

Looking for a day trip that is educational and free? The OPP museum has many exhibits to learn about history, stories, as well as law enforcement and civilian careers. There are interactive exhibits like the identi-kit for learning about composite sketching, books for reading with children related to law enforcement, puppets, and costumes. There’s so much to learn about that it will take more than one visit. There are some great vehicles 🚓 and motorcycles 🏍️ to look at and sketch ✍️ or paint 🎨 The gift shop has some great swag as well! Be sure to check out the vehicles to the left side opposite the museum. I haven’t been able to find an individual washroom but Georgian college nearby has some so be sure to stop there first if you need to use one. The accessible buttons aren’t always functioning. Be sure to bring identification as it is required to enter. You will have to buzz the intercom to speak to someone and show them your identification to enter. Be sure to check out the outdoor area as there is some nice outdoor places to sit and eat. A cafeteria is also there if you need to take a break to eat.

Il faut apporter de l’identification pour entrer. Il faut pousser le bouton pour faire buzzer et entrer le bâtiment. On montre la pièce d’identité avant d’entrer. Il y a une cafetière et des places de hors pour faire un picnic 🧺

On October 20th, I had a personalized tour of the OPP General Headquarters and the OPP Museum. My tour guide, Mr Brian Jewitt, the commissioned architect to serve the role of General Manager, Relocation Projects. He orchestrated the entire planning design and construction and relocation of the new OPP Headquarters, and the entire move from Toronto region to Orillia. 1985-1997 My time visiting the OPP Museum was very interesting and educational. My time there was a very excellent opportunity to learn the history of the OPP.

Fantastic museum! I like the self guided tour setup. The guide brochures are free and easy to follow with Case numbers. Very informative and interesting. The only disappointment was nothing about the Golden Helmets! That needs to be included!

There is a nice kids corner. Gmaps takes you to the employee entrance. You need to go to the front of the facility for visitor parking. Parking is free. Entrance is free but DONATIONS WELCOMED to keep the museum open.

Also bring ID as security coming in the building requires it for a visitor's pass to the OPP...
