Liked - had the place to myself mid-week early in May so I could take in the displays without anyone bothering me plus it is a beautifully designed building. Disliked - most of the outdoor exhibits are off-limits. You can look but not enter. More

Well worth a visit. Not very big, but well laid out with pleasant staff. I enjoyed the outdoor exhibits especially. The history of CP Rail is very interesting. More

I've been to several Railroad Museums in my life, but this was one of the best. It includes vintage Pullman dining cars and sleeping cars that you can walk through. There are both steam engines and more modern engines that you can inspect every huge nut-and-bolt of up close. There are displays narrating the building of the Canadian-Pacific railway -... More

Enjoyed it immensely. Very well put together. Interactive displays. Try to stump the volunteer engineers. Interactive train simulator and kids area. Tons of history if you like to read a lot. Nice gift shop. Expansion in progress but everything is accessibility. Go through a coach car, experience a steam locomotive up close. More

Fascinating little museum that gives some insight into how Canada was confederated. Doesn't shy away from the more unseamly history around racism to the early Chinese immigrants. Around two hours worth of pottering around. More
