This museum has some of the best displays of Aboriginal artifacts I have seen. It's all presented from a focus around BC, and the environmental section goes into a lot of detail about the area.

This is one of my favourite museums . The work inside is amazing. The attention to detail is remarkable. Much of the museum is interactive. A place to spend an entire day easily.

There are some great shops down this alley. Original and fun. It's sad that China town seems to be becoming more and more modern. I miss the old shops. - Charlotte Kinzie

Fantastic place. We enjoyed the detailed exhibits that both adults and children (14 and 11 years old) liked. Different variety of themes which are all very well done. Good value - Pascal G
