Since I am into museums and history, this is why I rated this very high. Located on the ground floor the OPP GHQ building, this small and free l musem does justice to the history of this provincial police service. There are stand up displays plus hands on demonstrations.

My daughter had fun here. just a time filler. nothing spectacular though. If you need to blow 30 minutes to an hour and you have an interest in the OPP, then you might like it.

It was cool to see some what was there: old cruisers, equipment and such. But I would have expected a lot more. There must be a ton of stuff in the archives. However, as always, it costs a lot to organize it all, and nobody knows about this place anyway.

If you are interested in some recent history, there is a bit here, although focused in a small area of knowledge. Interesting, some neat displays.

If you like police work related stuff you will like this place. It's right on the first floor of the headquarters in Orillia. It's free and worth a visit if you are in the area.

Some interesting displays, a few interactive kid things, and some old police vehicles. 30 minutes will cover it, but it's free an interesting diversion on a rainy day at the cottage.
