Deer Lake Park
More infoThe Burnaby Village Museum reconstructs a 1920s town in the green by Deer Lake: 31 buildings, costumed shopkeepers, a working print shop, and a beautifully restored 1912 carousel spinning at the centre. It feels less like an educational experience and more like a very committed film set. Free in summer, so the main cost is ice cream and time spent arguing about who would survive 1925.
Poke through the general store, watch the working print shop, and ride the beautifully restored 1912 carousel across this whole reconstructed 1920s town, free during the summer season. Share an old-timey ice cream and argue about who'd survive better in 1925; budget a good two hours and wear comfy shoes. Time it right and December turns the place full enchanted at the Festive Village, so check the seasonal calendar first.
