4.0Whistler Museum(134 reviews) - Everyone should come here at least once. Friday: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums
Great place to gain insight of the history around this place/area. I first came to Whistler in 1976 when there was only a little tin box gondola and Blackcomb didn't exist. Just the Creekside base with gravel parking lots. Had to take a T-Bar for the last leg to the summit. This museum will give you great insight into how the valley and ski area came into existence. +++See more..
4.5Prince George Railway Museum(126 reviews) - Missing more of the Social Element Friday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums
We had a wonderful time walking around the various displays and structures at this museum. Due to Covid, some of the displays were locked up. But what we saw did provide us new insights in the railways that operated in the area. It was also "cool" to walk inside a beehive burner. What would make this museum better is if they could provide more stories of people who were involved in the building and running of the railways and those who worked long hours in the lumber industry. This was done to a certain extent with the Ukrainians who worked in the railway. My wife and I would want to see more of this.See more..

4.0Lillooet Museum(87 reviews) - Great Museum and Visitor Centre Friday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Speciality Museums
We were in Lillooet on Canada Day so the Museum and Visitor Centre was buzzing. The park adjacent to the centre had food and activity stalls. The staff at the visitor centre were very friendly and straight away gave us a Canadian flag as part of the celebration. For a small donation we took a look at the museum which was a great collection of bits and pieces of the early days in the area. They had a great display of old tools and newspapers of earlier times. The building itself was also interesting as it was the former Anglican church.See more..

The Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre and Museum in Cape Mudge was our main reason for visiting Quadra Island and I can't say enough about their stunning collection of ancient masks and sacred regalia. Several weeks ago we visited the U'mista Museum in Alert Bay where the other half of the repatriated collection is stored, and both museums are wonderful. I really enjoyed the displays and reading about the history of the people and the area. Photographs inside are strictly prohibited, but I was permitted to take a couple of photos of their gift shop. It is well stocked and you'll have no problems finding a souvenir. There are also many photo-ops outside. An unexpected bonus was a flat fee of $5 for off-season visitors, yet another reason to tour when the crowds are small. Bring a picnic because right across the street is a new rest area complete with shelter, totems, petroglyphs, local vegetation and a waterfront location. Highly recommended you visit both locations. Cheers, PaulSee more..

I have attended numerous events here and will continue to seek out more. Examples: exhibits tour, art show, book launch, musical performance, film matinee, Christmas craft market, coffee shop. It takes a long time to get through the historical exhibits and involves a lot of reading. I have yet to visit the geneology archives and resources upstairs and plan to do so. Coffee shop selections are rather limited, but very good. Gift shop is unique and interesting. The building and grounds are well-kept and charming. I'm not sure if this attraction is for everyone. Great for people with an interest in the Mennonites, immigration, pioneering, history.See more..
