Ok…the stories were very cool. Informative and interesting but if history. However….the Bytown Museum lights were off when we were there. I could not see anything in the museum as it was dark! I felt as if I didn’t even visit inside the museum. This experience is NOT worth it. Save your money and buy a regular ticket to actually see the museum when it’s open!!!
