My family and I have made it a tradition to visit the village every year around Christmas time and it's great! It's cool to walk around the old houses and shops and ride the carousel! Suggested by me for sure to people looking for so etching out of the ordinary to do.
P.S: Dear Management, years ago there were trolls...

Owner description:
Transport yourself - stroll down the streets of our 1920s community. Our village is a combination of heritage and replica buildings on a 10-acre site. Period costumed townsfolk welcome visitors and give demonstrations in the homes, businesses and shops. Two of our large artifacts are now 100 years old - enjoy a ride on the 1912 CW Parker Carousel and explore the restored 1912 Interurban Tram, part of a transportation system before its time.

How wonderful to hear that you and your family make our "Heritage Christmas" a family tradition!
You asked about the trolls - Entertainers of all sorts (musicians, actors, magicians, artists, etc) are hired over the season. We vary the line-up from year to year to keep things fresh but will pass on your "vote" to have the Trollsons back!
Thank...

Hello, I am Sabina. Last year in May 2012 (I placed June 2012 as my visit as the May 2012 option date is not available anymore) I celebrated my birthday in Burnaby with my parents, aunt and my 4 year old cousin. It was a really nice place to go to and I'm glad the weather was sunny but cool....

Love the scenery with the beautiful Christmas light, loved the carousel. A great place to bring visitor or be the visitor yourself to enjoy the Christmas spirit. Dress warmly and you will not be disappointed!

Been there many times in the past year. Many interesting things to see. Hosts and hostesses are very knowledgeable and helpful. Always have to take my girl on the carousel, which is her favourite part of the Village.

Wonderfully maintained, low key, well staffed. It is a great day trip with our grandchildren and they are always keen to go back. The effort at preserving and showing Burnaby as it is growing is really paying off and the special exhibit times - Xmas, Halloween etc., are always fun. It is a treat to visit at anytime of the...

Affordable and interesting - a change of pace for Vancouver and Burnaby attractions. I was married in the chapel there - another recommended to-do if you are looking for a venue.

History made to come alive. Burnaby Village is a look at Burnaby and parts of Vancouver and New Westminster as it was when for me, when great grandparents were alive. There are some hertitage homes. You think going to the dentist is scary now, take a look at the torture chamber and equipment they use to use. Old appliances, and...

For many years I've enjoyed this lovely outdoor museum. The setting is lovely and peaceful. Visitors are really interested in seeing and learning about previous generations of people and how they lived, worked, played and prepared homemade food.
Just one thing that bothers me and that is the lack of quality food at the Ice Cream Parlour. What they offer...

Hi Elizabeth,
Thanks for both the endorsement and the challenge to improve. Your comments are timely and will be taken into consideration as the menu at the Ice Cream Parlour is currently under review.
Regards, Nancy

Walk into your 1920's home, the store you buy your dry goods in, your bank, the music store, the barber shop, the pharmacy or Chinese herbal shop, your children's school house, your local blacksmith shop to name only a few. Get on the tram, and take a magical ride on the magificient carousel.
