    Fraser Valley Heritage Railway - Cannaught Car 1304

    My husband and I came here for a special event. We were greeted by a welcoming staff (and a bagpipe…read moreband from the fire department). First we rode an interurban car for a short portion of their track. Then we took a tour of their facility starting with their bee garden through their shop and finishing with a ride on their velocipede and modified pump car. Because it was a special event, we had a catered lunch (they use the catering business next door), which was simple, delicious, and way better than a boxed lunch. We finished the afternoon with a final ride on their Queen Car -- Connaught 1304 car. We had a good time. It was a pleasant way to spend an afternoon, so I would recommend checking them out for a few hours one afternoon or hosting an event there.

    Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society in Surrey, BC…read more We had a lovely time Saturday, July 14, 2018. Our 3 y/o daughter loves trains and we had seen the train a couple month prior (I think they were preparing and maybe advertising) going down the tracks as we drove along side them. The volunteers were all very lovely. There were a lot of them, probably 10+ people. I was at first sticker shocked at the admission prices but the train ride was almost an hour. The commentary from one of the volunteers was great. He provided a lot of history and facts on the first half of the stretch. It was a bit of a long ride for our daughter, she was good to go after the first 20 mins. There are also no washrooms onboard once you leave the station, obviously, so you have to make sure you go before you leave. They had a simulator that you could drive while you waited for your train to depart. She really enjoyed that! I'd recommend this attraction if you can afford it. It cost us $50 for our family of three. Adults are $20 & kids 2-11 years are $10.

    Driving the Sea to Sky Highway from Vancouver, we did slow travel and stopped at the turn outs,…read moretook the side hikes and knew when we got to the Britannia Mine it was a must stop. The entire campus is so interesting. We bought our tickets for the tour and then stepped into the theater to watch a short film and then explored the museum, the shop and then it was time to head up the hill to start your tour. We have done other mine tours and this was by far the best. We grabbed our hard hats, met our tour guides Mike and Connor and found our seats in the mine car. We traveled into one of the mine tunnels about 6 minutes in until the end, while learning about the mine along the way. Once the mine train came to a stop, we stepped out into the tunnel and Mike proceeded to give history of the mine and then demonstrate different types of mining equipment over the years and how tools somewhat evolved. Then we walked from one tunnel to the next and learned about the dynamite that was set and how the Muckers cleaned out the debris from the tunnels with a demonstration of the equipment used. We then walked back down the hill to the huge processing building that stands tall over the valley, the sound and built into the mountain. We explored a bit, Mike and Connor answered questions and talked about the processing of the ore. Then it was time to sit and watch the show "Boom" that explained every step of the processing and it was fantastic. We highly recommend this experience if you ever find yourself on the Sea to Sky Highway. Just a tip, I didn't see an elevator to get passengers to the top to join the ride into the mine shaft, and after the mine portion of the tour, you walk down a gravel hill to get to the processing building. So if you are with someone who has challenges walking, climbing stairs and hills and walking downhill, I don't recommend the mine shaft portion of the tour. You can join in on the multi-sensory "Boom" show much easier.

    This guided tour was so interesting. There was history at the mine. The mine started in 1904 and…read moreended in 1974. That was when the museum opened its doors to the public. If you have kids, this guided tour is highly recommended. You learn so much about the history of Britannia. Plus, if you have an amazing tour guide, they make it so much better.
