Burnaby Village Museum

What a wonderful choice to spend a few hours on the weekend with family or friends! My son has a lot of fun at the carousel, as well as loves the team/train. So many gems and so educational to go around and check all the houses/museums! And even better.. no entrance fees!

It's a FREE large village museum in Burnaby. You should bring your family for a fun stroll including the elderly family members. The parking is free too. If you can't find the parking here, there are still a lot of free parking in the street. 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. If you bring the kids or the ones young at heart, don't miss the carousel at the back door. The carousel keeps in a good condition. There are a restaurant inside. After the stroll, it is a good place getting some drink or a lunch. They have nice big patio. Before you go, please check their website since they close at 4:30. The main entrance is not open due to the construction. When we went to there on June 29, the main entrance was open for the first day. The volunteer told us the new bridge in the main entrance is done.

Absolutely love this place and will visit again! They offer free admission for the summer and the staff were engaging and friendly. They captured different cultures and stories to help visitors to learn about the history of Burnaby/Vancouver. The carousel was amazing to start or end your visit!! There's parking nearby and there are bus stations within 5 minutes.

We're huge fans of the Burnaby Village Museum and are very grateful to the city, staff, and volunteers that run it and keep it so welcoming/interesting! In the summer, it's a peaceful place to walk around. In the fall, there is the super Halloween event and then of course, at Christmas, it's the best. Each time we go, we learn a little bit more about life in Burnaby 100 years or so ago & have so much fun going into the little shops and chatting with staff. My only suggestion to the museum is that for the Halloween and Christmas events, have music playing in the background throughout the village. And for visitors, this year, the wait for the carousel was an hour at Christmas time - I suggest going on it in the summer when there isn't as long as a wait. Overall, highly recommend the Burnaby Village Museum, this is a huge hidden gem!!!!

Our class went on a field trip and had the best time .. even though it was raining. Megan and Nicole were great hosts and super knowledgeable in their indigenous teachings. Thank you.
