Murder mystery coming to Diefenbunker

West Carleton Review
August 11, 2017

All through August at the Diefenbunker, as part of Archeology Month, top secret geocaches will be placed on the grounds above the Diefenbunker, ready to be found by geocaching enthusiasts.

A murder mystery fundraiser is being held on Saturday, Aug. 26 at 6:30 p.m. at the Diefenbunker. And the title?

None other than Murder at the Diefenbunker. This will be a night of murder, scandal and intrigue, set at the height of the Cold War where you are inside the Diefenbunker. Someone is mysteriously murdered and a search over two levels of the bunker is launched to discover who did it, why and how.

Cost for this murder mystery fundraiser is $40 per person.

The Diefenbunker is a four-storey, 100,000-square-foot underground bunker built between 1959 and 1961. During the Cold War, it was intended to house 535 Canadian government officials and military officers in the event of a nuclear war. It served as Canadian Forces Station Carp until 1994.

Today, the Diefenbunker operates as a not-for-profit charitable museum, offering tours and programs.

The Diefenbunker is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Adults cost $14 plus HST while seniors are $13 plus HST. Students are $109 plus HST while youth (ages six-18 years) are $8 plus HST. Children aged five and under are free as is the parking.
