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.

"This rating is only for the Christmas Lights" This is a free event They have a beautiful bridge of a brook at the entrance that they could have decorated to a Christmas welcome, instead the was absolutely nothing. The actual display of lights is just in the junction and up the pathway to the carousel. The lights on trees dont even go to the top. There are 3 trees side by side that they did. Too bad they weren't in the main area. They have a beautiful bridge of a brook at the entrance that they could have decorated to a Christmas welcome, instead the was absolutely nothing. I don't know what the budget was, but they should consider doing more. Just decorating the whole entrance would be amazing. If budget is a problem, then have a minimum donation fee of 5$ and 10$ for a family / group before entering to help with some costs. People would still pay that. It's fun for small kids / toddlers who dont know dont any different but as an adult I was disappointed.

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!!!!

Very well curated collection of dwellings and institutions showing what life was like in Burnaby in the 1800s to early 1900s. There is over a dozen places such as the bakery, classroom, general store and barber shop that you could take a peek into. They also have live demonstrations at the print shop, blacksmith, etc. The staff is welcoming and gave me a lot of information on how the fire stove worked and where the Burnaby trams once operated. The best thing: free admission! I visited just before Christmas in the afternoon, so I didn't get to enjoy the lights that they have put up. I had no problem parking when I arrived shortly after 1 pm. But when I left around 3 pm the parking lot was full. If you're coming at a busy time, it would be worth checking the museum's website which has a map of nearby parking lots.

Its' been a few years since we last came to Burnaby Village Museum and there have been a few changes to it. They appear to have done some renovations in certain areas and they've set things up so that the experience here is more interactive than before. There are things that can be turned, flipped and sniffed! I love these new changes they've made. The Carousel ride is still there. That's one thing I hope they never change! Oh...you can get screamers at the Ice Cream Parlour now. They are available in two delicious flavors! This is a great place to come for an educational, fun and scrumptious experience that will have you "screaming" with delight! Oh, free admission is always something to smile about as well! Service: Good Parking: Free Location: 6501 Deer Lake Ave., Burnaby, BC
