Diefenbunker Canada's Cold War Museum FAQ’s

For the best experience, we suggest at least one hour to explore the Diefenbunker. The admissions desk closes 30 minutes before the museum closes.

The museum is mostly accessible. A stair lift is available for use by wheelchair users, those with limited mobility, or anyone who is unable to use the stairs fully or partially. The lift cannot be used for strollers — the best way to get around underground is with a baby carrier.
