Designed and built in secrecy during the height of the Cold War, this 100,000 square foot bunker meant to house Canada's government in the event of nuclear war, is now opened to public as a Cold War Museum and National Historic Site. The Diefenbunker is one of the most unique educational sites in Canada. Tours of the bunker gives visitors an effective visual and tangible context of the Canadian Cold War. Visitors will see rooms such as the Prime Minister's suite, the CBC Radio studio, the Bank of Canada vault, and the Emergency Government Situation Centre.
