Amazing inside and out. The free tour was awesome, and our guide was excellent. Made me proud(er) to be a Canadian. The Peace Tower is available without a tour, but to enter you need a "ticket" from the building across the street. Leave lots of time to go through security. We left 30 minutes and ended up 15 minutes late for our tour. They will be closing up the main building for a 10 year renovation - so I'm glad we got in before that started. We were able to go to the galleries after the tour and watch the house in session, which was so cool. I wish we would have gone sooner. We also reached out to our MP, and were able to meet up with his assistant (and him after) for a private tour - which was even better. Really felt like we learned a lot about how parliament runs and what our MPs do when they are there. Highly highly recommend for all Canadians.
