  • Worth Visiting

    Halifax doesnt have many attractions and as such one must review based on other attractions within the city rather then in other cities. With that in mind the images shown in the gallery were all well done as was the train setup for watching videos. This attraction ranks at the top compared to other attractions in halifax and does an excellent job of depicting and providing imagery of what the immigration period was like.

    There are a number of excellent interactive displays and ...

  • they are off to a good start
    By Ellie, 08/14/05
    I liked the fact that they actually took the lead from
    Ellis Island and have finally established the Pier in accordance with her historical immigrant status. While they have got a long way to go in bringing this attraction up to world class standards--one senses that they are on their merry way. The attraction needs more exhibits and a database for public access.
