Burnaby Village Museum

Late review Went to watch the free Christmas display in December and we were not disappointed. Though there was not that much of Christmas light, it was still fun visiting the village museum for free and we had the opportunity to click a picture with santa (again for free). There was definitely some lineup but we only had to wait for about 5-10 mins. For carousel, you had to pay extra $2-$3 which is honestly not bad at all. Its a fun and knowledgeable place for all age groups

I brought my family there for the Christmas Tree lighting event. The place was packed as usual although not the busiest I've seen. My kid and I still enjoyed ourselves very much, visiting all the replicas of the historical buildings back in the days. Im actually surprised I recognized some of the items displayed there (I'm not that old!). The place is very much family friendly, and accessible by wheelchairs or baby-strollers. On hindsight, the entrance to the historical buildings might be a bit tight but should be manageable. I wished they changed the theme or added some new features YoY to keep the experience fresh. Ah, and the Christmas tree lightings were a bit underwhelming too. Nevertheless, I'd recommend this place highly for anyone wanting to have a good family time strolling around and learning a thing or two about the past.

Nice place to visit at least once. Lighting is fun, especially for kids, and they enjoyed. The trees were decorated with lights, making it worth it. The museum artifacts remind us of our old days in the village. How we used to live in our childhood, and our grandparents lived life with all the old technology. Overall, It was worth visiting and recommending others to visit too.

We finally made it to the Burnaby Village Museum to see the Christmas lights! Even though we’ve been here many times, it remains a favorite memory. Parking can be a challenge with everyone circling the main lots, but we found a 'smart' spot across the street which saved us a lot of stress. The light displays are truly impressive, especially considering admission is free! We loved the carol singers and wandering through the open heritage houses. A huge highlight was the blacksmith shop—watching the iron-making demonstrations by the veterans was fascinating and very high-quality. Such a great atmosphere with the festive spirit everywhere. Highly recommend for a local holiday tradition!

I've been coming here for the last 23 years, since 2002, when I was a teenager. I enjoy the history of vintage BC and coming here at Christmas time is the best place to see it all decorated for the holidays is a big must-see for tourists to see and learn also hear vintage Christmas music and the way people lived before social media Their fish and chips were the best, and unfortunately, they're no longer available. However, their chicken strips and fries are still excellent, paired perfectly with the hot chocolate. The movie theatre playing Christmas silent films from Tomas Edison was brilliant to show kids what old Christmas 🎄 was like back then. I still keep coming back every December to see Christmas 🎄 events. It's part of the Christmas tradition for families to enjoy themselves during the holidays.
