Burnaby Village Museum
Burnaby (Colombie-Britannique)
Région touristique : Lower Mainland


With a combination of heritage and replica buildings on a 10 acre site, the museum is a step back to the 1920s. Period costumed staff and volunteers welcome visitors into the homes, businesses and shops of a traditional village along the BC Electric Railway tram line. An exciting must for every visitor is a whirl on the fully restored historic 1912 CW Parker Carousel. Rides are accompanied by music from a grand 1925 Wurlitzer organ.

Amenities include an ice cream parlour which offers a menu for light meals and snacks, picnic tables, and a gift shop. The site is wheelchair accessible.
