We visited awhile back but found this to be a real gem in Hamilton. An amazing display of steam era and the old waterworks of Hamilton. Cool train rides around the grounds for kids (old and young ones)

I have to admit, when my husband suggested we drive an hour each way to see a Technology museum, I was less than enthused, and honestly thought I would be bored to tears. I am very happy to admit that I was wrong! The staff were knowledgeable and friendly, the tour was interesting and very informative. It was a great...

And I thought this place was about trains -- this is all about the Hamilton Water works and it's beginnings......oldest Waterworks in Canada I believe....really educational but fun too!

Visited this location many years ago and was surprised at all the wonderful information that I gathered as a result of that visit. Would recommend it to adults and kids especially for a out of class project.

We stopped in on the last tour of the day after a day of siteseeing. What at good choice. It was a great experience. There are two buildings to view and a few stairs to manuver. The guide was extremely knowlegeable...I thought she was an engineering student with all the demonstrations of steam engines and the workings of the waterplant,...

stopped by on a really hot afternoon- so the health board said that the top floor was closed and we couldn't get the whole tour, but what we saw was still interesting. The guide was very well informed and the tour was great. Wish we had more time in the first building to just look at things ourselves. A who...
