Burnaby Village Museum

Wonderful historic representations of a town in Burnaby and how it might have functioned in the past. Presenters were knowledgeable and appropriately costumed in clothes of those days from the past. Great presentations in each of the buildings for all ages. Especially enjoyed watching how the blacksmith and metal bender made items for sale. Holiday decorations and activities were also professionally done to make a visit anytime of year memorable. Parking was hard to find when it is busy, but having parking available at Deer Lake helped you find a spot to park.

It's going back in time. This year I went at Christmas and it is beautifully decorated and illuminated and there is no cost to enter. It's worth a getaway

A place you must visit during Halloween.
I had a great time with the kids
It was nice to see a great performance.

The Love of my Life surprised me by taking me here. She's so thoughtful and sweet.
There was so much interesting themes to see composed of dated items collected drop Historic Vancouver.

They had a Convenience Store with old cool stoves, lamps, food packaging, clothes washing wringer.
A Barber, an automotive shop for motor bikes, a Millwright shop, a Theatre, a Pharmacy, a Traditional Chinese Medicine shop, a Bakery, a Bank with the vault an office complete with fountain pen and old style telephone! A Newspaper printing press shop with several machines that are still operative.

There was a historic 1900s home with a Christmas display. All the Historic kitchen and bathroom fixtures, flooring, items and paint or tiles was all preserved in great condition.
Really takes you for a walk down memory lane of how things used to be!

Really a great walk to browse the amazing displays they have.

It’s free to walk through, staff are very friendly to answer questions in little shops. Learned some info we didn’t know about before. If you are visiting, good place to stop by.

This Musium is a perfect place to spend a family time and have fun for all ages. Although most of the buildings are replica of the real buildings, but they perfectly shows that part of the history. Walkways and roads are nicely maintained and gardened with fabulous flowers. Carousel with organ music could be amusing for youngsters and nostalgic for older ones! Admission was free and so parking did. I recomend to allocate at least 2 hours for your visit. There was a gift shop next to the carousel. Not much options for food though.

Free to public on canada day. Nice entertainment, free flags and free cupcakes not to hard to find parking. Free water. Lots of things to see, hamburgers, hotdogs ect available. Washrooms. Lots of restored homes and business's to view and read the history about. Was a delight.

You can spend a few hours walking around and learning some history, the restaurant is being renovated, guess would be better spot when ii opens.

It was a fun loving experience.we went there on Canada day & there were so many events happening that day.we enjoyed seeing the village culture.

Village historique Canadien avec les différents bâtiments de la vie.garage avec vieille voiture, forgeron, boulanger, poste, banque, école, ferme, théâtre projection Chaplin, gare avec un wagon de train d'époque.
Un endroit pour se restaurer mais les prix ne sont pas affichés à l'extérieur, c'est dommage, cela pourrait faire parti de l'animation, et certains n'aiment pas entrer sans voir les prix et propositions avant.
Ce lieu est vraiment très agréable et les personnes du staff très sympathiques.

It is great to go with the family, it takes you back in time and you can learn more about immigration to Burnaby. We went on father's day and there were activities for children and music

Fantastic heritage museum and park. Lots of things to see. Roll back to old days and know more about the past. A must place to go if you want to the history of Canada. Free admission.

This place is immaculate, full of knowledgeable docents, and free! What a great way to spend the afternoon. The indoor Carousel was a beautiful and fun surprise. Highly recommend.

Great displays. Quite comprehensive on its scope. Needs more than 1 visit. Well worth the time and of course no admission charge. Goof place to tske school.aged kids.

Small-scale and artificial buildings "only" from the beginning of the 20th century. But in any case free of charge, properly guided and chatty, helpful staff. Especially the original was Tram Vagon is a real treasure.

The museum is one of a kind. If you are visiting Vancouver or just a resident, it is totally worth it. The admission is free and you will get to learn a lot. Praying is available in ample quantity.

Really nice place with a lot of educational value. It's a pity that I didn't stay long, I hope many people can go, thank you owner.

Beautiful museum with enthousiastic personel. A Beautiful carousel and a plesant stay. The only thing was, the restaurant was closed for renovation. And no option for coffee. As a Dutch tourist I am addicted to coffee. And above all. No entree ticket needed.

I usually dont like museums. This one was free in summer and i couldn't get tired there. Specially because of the nice guides standing there and explaining everything. Its very interesting for immigrants to go there and enjoy seeing the history of vancouver or Burnaby there.

One of the best museums to visit in Vancouver. If u wondered how is it to travel back in time, this, besides Cuba is the next best thing.

The museum offers visitors a glimpse into the early days of Burnaby, showcasing what life was like in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The village features over 30 restored and replica buildings, including homes, businesses, and other structures that were part of the community during that era. These buildings provide a representation of a typical tram-stop community from the 1920s.

Visitors to Burnaby Village Museum can explore the various buildings and immerse themselves in the history of the region. Some notable structures include the Stride Studio, which was a renowned photographer's studio, and the General Store, where visitors can find a variety of authentic goods from the past.

Very Good place for kids to learn some brief history and they love the Carousal! Not Really Crowded being a sunday. Good place to spend 1-2Hours on a weekend.
