It’s the gift of history and sacrifice. It’s the gift of uncovering the past and imagining future possibilities. When you give tickets or a membership to The Military Museums, you give the gift of experience. Even better, it’s a unique experience that brings you a day filled with discovery and family fun! This Christmas, give the gift of The Military Museums.
Experience the victories, tragedies, and sacrifices of the men and women of the Canadian Forces at The Military Museums. Walk through a First World War trench, learn about two of Canada’s famed tank units, and hear the stories of the people behind Canada’s military history. The Military Museums’ award-winning facility is dedicated to representing Canada’s Army, Air Force, and Navy and educating the public about Canada’s military, particularly youths. Plus, you get to see real tanks and fighter jets up close!
The Military Museums is home to seven museums, an art gallery, and a world-class public lending library. Here you’ll find the Naval, Army and Air Force Museums of Alberta and the Air Force Cold War Museum. You can also visit four museums of the founding regiments, Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians), Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, The King’s Own Calgary Regiment, and The Calgary Highlanders. It also includes the UCalgary Founders’ Gallery and Library & Archives. This is the second-largest military museum in the country.
Tickets to The Military Museums are only $35 for a family. Visit more often with an annual membership, for only $70 a family. Memberships make it easy to attend special events or pop by for a tour of the museums on a cold afternoon.
You’ve heard it said that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it (philosopher George Santayana). Don’t contribute to more stuff in your house this Christmas – give the gift of experience, with the gift of history at The Military Museums.
This holiday season, give the gift of experiences, not stuff! Instead of purchasing toys and items you don’t need, your family can enjoy cool activities and discover new passions. When you gift experiences, you enhance your family time by creating memories and fostering connections. Draw closer as a family as you encounter new joys and adventures, filled with great stories to relive — and hopefully, a little laughter along the way! Add richness and delight to your Christmas this year with experiences, not stuff.
