Burnaby Village Museum


Colorfully re-creating a BC pioneer town, complete with replica homes, businesses and a handsome 1912 carousel (tickets $2.65), this family-friendly attraction is a local favorite. To get directly here by car, take the Sperling Ave exit off Hwy 1 and follow the museum signs.
