BURNABY VILLAGE MUSEUM REVIEWS

We're huge fans of the Burnaby Village Museum and are very grateful to the city, staff, and volunteers that run it and keep it so welcoming/interesting! In the summer, it's a peaceful place to walk around. In the fall, there is the super Halloween event and then of course, at Christmas, it's the best. Each time we go, we learn a little bit more about life in Burnaby 100 years or so ago & have so much fun going into the little shops and chatting with staff. My only suggestion to the museum is that for the Halloween and Christmas events, have music playing in the background throughout the village. And for visitors, this year, the wait for the carousel was an hour at Christmas time - I suggest going on it in the summer when there isn't as long as a wait. Overall, highly recommend the Burnaby Village Museum, this is a huge hidden gem!!!!

Absolutely love this place and will visit again! They offer free admission for the summer and the staff were engaging and friendly. They captured different cultures and stories to help visitors to learn about the history of Burnaby/Vancouver. The carousel was amazing to start or end your visit!! There's parking nearby and there are bus stations within 5 minutes.

What a wonderful choice to spend a few hours on the weekend with family or friends! My son has a lot of fun at the carousel, as well as loves the team/train. So many gems and so educational to go around and check all the houses/museums! And even better.. no entrance fees!

NIKKEI NATIONAL MUSEUM & CULTURAL CENTRE REVIEWS

Japanese embedded community centre with quite a few sakura trees outside. the hall is big. accessible to all. I quite like the neightbourhood area. This is where many events during the area occurred in South Burnaby, including casting the votes, Lunar New year celebrations, book day, BC local events and so on so forth. I also like all the volunteers and contributors to this place. This area is an outstanding representative of Burnaby and Burnaby heritage.

Beautiful location to visit with friends and family. There is always a variety of events going on that teach a lot about japanese culture and history. The museum contains a mixture of national relics as well as local modern art. There is also a supermarket here that holds a lot of japanese products you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere.

Such an important part of our Canadian history that gets often times buried. Feeling Japanese culture alive and thriving felt like a breath of fresh air. Highly recommend the museum and bookshop. Plus, go check Suzu-ya the convenience store. Good food at great prices.

SWANGARD STADIUM REVIEWS

I like walking at Central Park and running here at Swanguard track when I’m in the area. Today there’s a private school track meet so enclosed some pics and videos. I shot these films right side up but google seems to flip the video when I upload so not sure why: sometimes the vids upload; sometimes they become still pics This is a great place to enjoy a good walk, jog, or run when you’re in the Metrotown area. Stadium and the park is close to Patterson Skytrain station.

Swangaurd Stadium in Burnaby, an icon in the game. From Whitecaps’ old haunt to the spirited home of TSS Rovers, it’s Canada’s only community-owned football club. This historic stadium is like a time capsule of Canadian soccer dreams. Join us on Saturdays, witness the future of Canada Soccer unfold, and let the cheers echo through the historic halls. It’s more than a game; it’s a piece of Canadian sports history in action!

Had a fantastic time at the bubble tea festival! Great food vendors and of course, delicious bubble tea!!
