Diefenbunker is Canada's Cold War museum at the site of an old secret nuclear bunker. The museum is focused on Cold War education through tours of the bunker. Walk down the Blast Tunnel and into the 1960s; see rooms such as the Prime Minister’s suite, the CBC Radio studio, the Bank of Canada vault, and the Emergency Government Situation Centre; and
stand in the War Cabinet Room where Canada’s emergency government would have made vital global decisions during a nuclear war. Interesting and somewhat eerie, visitors can wander the corridors of the actual bunker and visit museum displays and exhibits. Reservations are recommended for tours.
