Ottawa - Canada Science and Technology Museum

On the eastern edge of Ottawa, the Canada Science and Technology Museum is a museum worth visiting. Exhibits include a Nova Scotia lighthouse, old boats and farming equipment, a whole series of vintage cars and an Atlas rocket, vintage steam engines and steam locomotives. There are also special exhibitions about communications and modern physics, and an interesting collection of timepieces. Astronomy and space exploration are also covered and the museum has an excellent observatory for stargazing on clear nights.
