Diefenbunker: Canada’s Cold War Museum
Go 75 feet underground to the world’s largest escape room, housed in the historic Cold War-era Diefenbunker in Carp. Commissioned by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker in 1959, the purpose of the bunker was to house key members of the government and military in case of a nuclear attack on Canada. The site was in operation from 1961 to 1994 and became a museum in 1997.
Presented in partnership with Escape Manor, the multi-award winning Diefenbunker escape room experience runs Thursday through Sunday evenings and takes place over 25,000 square feet (about four times the area of a basketball court) of this massive bunker. Choose from two different scenarios, use logic and teamwork to find clues, solve puzzles and make it out before the clock counts down.
