Victoria Row, the former market centre of Charlottetown, is home to a wide variety of shopping and dining needs.
Canada's Birthplace Pavilion
In 1864, delegates to the famous Charlottetown Conference arrived at this quaint waterfront. Today, it's the site of Founders' Hall, a 21,000 square foot heritage attraction and retail boutique.
The "Time Travel Tunnel" transports visitors back to 1864, leading them through the pages of Canadian history, and concludes with a fast paced look at Canadians from coast to coast to coast.
This is where hi-tech meets history. Experience Canada's growing pains through the eyes of modern media. News reports and lively theatre tell the tale of politics and people. Special headsets narrate your passage through state-of the-art displays, holovisuals, theatres, on-screen trivia games, drawers, cupboards and much more. It's a multisensory experience that makes learning history fun and lively!
