Vimy Ridge Visitor Education Centre

Amazing tour of the tunnels under the Vimy Ridge. Our tour guide Vivian was well educated on WW1 and was great at explaining the tunnels. The trench’s were very well preserved and the creators around the trench’s were very cool to look at and take photos of. I would highly recommend going to the Vimy Memorial just down the road after as it is beautiful.

An impressive and thought provoking memorial to the Canadians who fought and died in the First World War. The preserved trenches, tunnels and craters really help us envisage the war torn landscape. The visitor centre gives a good overview and shares the personal stories of those who served and the staff there were very welcoming and knowledgeable. An excellent children's trail is available and helped them engage with the various aspects of the site and bring it down to the scale of the individual soldiers.

Wonderful memorial and interactive center with the ability to walk the tunnels and trenches that are preserved form the war. So moving to be able to tour it all.

Very interesting and very moving war memorial and exhibition. A short free tour of the trenches also helps bring everything to life. Free to visit but a donation is always appreciated. Only downside is that regulations apparently forbid any kind of tea or coffee shop refreshment facilities. Very clean toilets are available.

Incredibly moving place - hard to describe as a Canadian the feelings you have and the pride! War is a horrible thing and we should never forget that and never forget those who sacrificed so much - humbling experience!

Amazing memorial for Canada’s role at Vimy Ridge and an educational experience every Canadian should have. We’ve been very impressed with the youth guides from Canada, from Juno Beach to Beaumont-Hamel to Vimy, Veterans Canada did a fantastic job in preserving the WW history and the unique roles Canada played. Of all the memorials we visited, the Canadian ones were the only ones that incorporated a guided experience going into either German WNs, walking thru trenches and going into tunnels to give a “real-life” experience of what it was like. Bravo Canada!

Excellent and very touching exhibits and space. Great learning component to visiting the monument and surrounding area. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. There is currently a Lego replica of the monument, so cool! Outside, there is a Garden of Peace to visit with log benches inside for seating and contemplation.

I visited this monument over 20 years ago, and 8t has always been a powerful memory. Canada has done so much to grow and improve this over the past decades - it was so good to see school groups and visitors there! This place really helps me understand the terrible conditions of war, and the many sacrifices made by all involved. Powerful and inspiring at the same time. My kids loved it as well, since they could experience the trenches and the tunnels. Such an awesome place and a strong memory of those who gave everything!
