The guides make the tour of the house very worthwhile. The introductory film sets the stage but the stories and explanations provided by the guides help make history come alive.

Right on Laurier Avenue, you are walking distance from the University of Ottawa, what a grand house it is. Meet two of our Prime Minister Laurier and Mackenzie King. The house is nice to visit and did you know that they have many treasure from the Mackenzie King. In the summer you can there are the Sunday theatre, and there... More

I attended a tea service on the veranda. There were musicians and actors..a sheer pleasure. The location is wonderful. the sight is well maintained and one can almost hear Sir Wilf himself coming down the hall..or hear McKenzie King. A historical treasure

I have been going to LH on and off for over 30 years. It is a great museum because it captures 3 totally different Canadian political eras in one: Laurier, King, and Pearson. Best part for those who like the odd and unusual is that this is where you can find Mackenzie King's famous "crystal ball" from his seances with... More

This stately home is well worth the short walk from Parliament Hill. A tour of Laurier House is included in Ottawa's museum pass, which is valid for a week, and saves you money if you visit four or more attractions. The guides start you off with an interesting video about Laurier's life and times, then take you on a room-by-room... More

I loved the tour and history of this old Prime Ministers home. Memorable moments were the breakfast room, and the desk wiht the crystal ball and burning candle. Certainly worth the visit.

This is one of the ones they did right - the history is there, the staff are excellent and answer questions are seem to love showing off there knowledge and interest in the house. I think it is worth visiting seening that the back story is interesting, and it is well presented

The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and seemed to love his job. (reddish hair?) Since I can remember hearing about Laurier and William Lyon MacKenzie King as I grew up, it was great to hear so many personal details about them and the house. Next to the library at Parliamen Hill, it was my favourite place to visit.

If you like old, historical homes, you will like visiting this place. It is quiet and a little gloomy but having been the home of Sir Wilfred Laurier and Prime Minister Mackenzie King, it offers a lot.
