  Expect groups on tours, particularly schoolchildren. Transit is nearby but still a distance despite the LRT tracks being so close, this is a drive or walk a ways sort of place to visit.

  Don't know if it's good or bad but the floors are creepy. If it's a historical site then they should still be able to fix the floors and keep it to historical guidelines.

  This is a gorgeous old building. A great place to have a wedding. A not-so-great place to have a funeral. :(

  Accessibility is great in the main areas, with a long, wide gentle ramp leading into the building - but falls off in side hallways for some of the offices and bathrooms due to stairs or huge heavy doors or narrow corridors. Much of the building is navigable with a wide rollator, and a powered chair should be able to access a portion of the building. Unfortunately, due to the age & historic nature, retrofits to increase ease of use are minor and leaves many unable to explore this piece of Canadian history.

  Always an educational & thought provoking visit, the Armoury is actually a building inside a building - replete with arrow slits, balustrades and an "air moat" inside the fort between the outside and the armoury, this historic building also houses the Edmonton City Archives, the Edmonton Telephone Museum, the Edmonton Arts Council, travelling art exhibits as well as on site information about the role of the building and Canadian military during active usage.
