Burnaby Village Museum

Fantastic during the holidays. The lights and decorations were wonderful. Very nice that it continued after Xmas through new years. Sensational that it's free to the public. Really appreciate that families can enjoy this wholesome activity together without having to worry about costs. It was a vacation highlight for our visiting family from Australia.

I had heard this place was good, but I had no idea how good it actually was! I followed my friend and her daughter to do what I thought would be a basic carousel ride. NOT SO! Nothing basic about this gorgeous, vintage carousel ride, complete with Wurlitzer Band Organ. If you love history, carousels, face aching grins, and/or killer pictures ops, DO NOT SKIP this part of the museum! Speaking of losing your mind over a historic beauty, the rest of the grounds are a history-lovers Disney Land. I spent the entire day here. Definitely does not disappoint.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Burnaby Village Museum, and it was a delightful experience that exceeded my expectations. This charming museum beautifully captures the essence of life in the early 1900s, offering visitors a unique glimpse into Vancouver's rich history. The village is meticulously curated, with stunning heritage buildings and gardens that are full of character. Walking through the streets feels like stepping back in time, and the staff dressed in period costumes truly enhance the immersive experience. They are friendly and knowledgeable, eager to share fascinating stories about the different buildings and the history of the area. One of the highlights was the interactive exhibits and demonstrations, which were engaging for both adults and children. The artisan demonstrations, such as blacksmithing and pottery, added a hands-on element that was both educational and entertaining. The carousel is a must-try—it's beautifully restored, and riding it was a nostalgic treat! The overall atmosphere is family-friendly and welcoming, making it a perfect outing for people of all ages. The museum also features lovely picnic areas, making it easy to enjoy a leisurely lunch among the beautiful surroundings. In summary, Burnaby Village Museum is a hidden gem that offers a wonderful blend of education, history, and fun. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this destination should be on your must-visit list. I can't wait to return for their seasonal events!

Even on a rainy day, the museum is beautiful, it showcases many things of early 1900's. There is an indoor carrousel, adults can get on it too. It is nice sized and you can choose where to go at your own pace. The educators are knowledgeable and kind. Really enjoyed my visit!

It's a FREE large village museum in Burnaby. Time for your another visit there for the Christmas Lights. Please check their website before you go. The open hour is really unfriendly to the visitors. Tuesday to Friday open from 1 to 5:30pm. The last entry is 5:00pm and the restaurant close at 5 too. Mondays are closed Saturday and Sunday open 1 to 9pm. The parking will be a big problem in this event. When you can enjoy the lights after dark at 4:45, you have less than a hour. I see many kids are crying when they are force to leave at 5:30 in the last ride in the carousel. Hopefully, they can change the open hour for all the families and kids when they are off from school. I think they were open late last years. It's no fun strolling around in the day time without the beautiful Christmas lights can seen. The parking is really limited in the Christmas event. It's better car pool there or you can go there before the dark. You should bring your family for a fun stroll including the elderly family members. The parking is free too If you are a visitor, you can spend one day in this area. There are many interesting things can do in the Deer Lake area. The village is like an old small town. It will bring back our memories. At the same time the young ones can learn about our history in BC.
