Review of Fort Langley I recently visited Fort Langley on a beautiful sunny day, and I was pleased to find that it wasn't crowded, allowing for a peaceful experience. The views and overall environment were lovely, making for a picturesque outing. However, I did encounter a few issues during my visit. There wasn’t anyone available to provide explanations about the site, which would have enhanced my understanding and appreciation of the history. I relied on the videos in the second ground buildings, but they didn’t fully compensate for the lack of personal guidance. Additionally, the sounds of a train and ongoing construction were somewhat distracting and detracted from the ambiance. I also found the restrooms to be less than clean, which ultimately deterred me from eating or drinking at the coffee shop. On a positive note, I did appreciate the artistic paintings displayed in the coffee shop. Access to the area was easy, and I enjoyed my walk around Fort Langley. The staff member at the front door was friendly and welcoming, which added a nice touch to my visit. I paid $9 for my ticket, which felt reasonable given the experience. Overall, while there were some drawbacks, the beautiful setting and friendly atmosphere made it a worthwhile trip. I would recommend visiting but hope for improvements in cleanliness and visitor engagement in the future.

Fort Langley National Historic Site is a good place to visit to check out the history of Fort Langley. We’ve been to many forts in Nova Scotia, but this is our first one in British Columbia. It was smaller than all the other forts that we visited, it was still fun to explore around and the cost was minimal at $9 per adult for entrance. We spent approximately 1.5 hours exploring the different parts of the Fort. There were several interactive experiences such as building the wall of the fort, making a bucket, flatting the beaver skin to make a packet, etc. There was also history on the indigenous people whose land was taken over and you could watch all about it at the theatre. You can also explore the big white building with all the rooms for the family as well as the servant quarters. Other than the Otentiks, everywhere else was free to enter. It would be an interesting experience staying at the Otentik on-site, but that would be an additional fee through Parks Canada. Big parking lot and you pay directly in the building before the entrance of the fort. This fort is also a walking distance to downtown Fort Langley where you can explore the shops and grab some food.

The thing that makes Fort Langley is the enthusiasm and erudition of the docents who bring this place alive. On our visit we met an 80 year old man who had the most phenomenal memory who held us spell-bound while he told us his story - and the story of the Fort. But the laurel wreath award goes to the chatty blacksmith who absolutely brilliant and shows you how hand eye coordination improves with practice and cannot be replicated any other way and who can turn a few cms of iron bar into a nail in seconds. We were early, so all I wanted to do was use the washroom - which is before you have to pay for admission - we would of course return after lunch - and I had a very informative exchange with the guy selling tickets. Parks Canada has done its amazing magic (see Dawson City if you don't believe me) in bringing a collection of historical buildings to life. Every schoolchild in the lower mainland gets to go to Fort Langley. If you haven't been yet you should go now.

I’ve been here many times as a kid but now that I’ve seen more behind the scenes and stuff it’s a lot more interesting. The staff are very very good at staying in character and can even speak French, they are also very knowledgeable about the history of what they are teaching about not just talking off a script of some kind. All the heritage sites and housing is really cool and if you’re lucky you can get a coat hanger from the blacksmith. There’s also sometimes maple taffy that you can make that’s really really good. You can also just pour maple syrup on snow and then pick it up with a stick and eat it. They have lots of interactive things as well that’s are really neat. You can check out different beaver pelts and sieve for gold. The store and bathrooms are also really cool to check out, they’re overpriced but literally every tourist location has that problem so it’s not really much of an issue.
