This is a must stop. So much to learn on the history of the rail in Canada.
Aug. 2022 • Couples
I’m so not into trains however I spent 1 1/2 hrs here. What a great place! It was so interesting to read about how important the rail is to Canada and the interesting history on the porters and the building of the rail lines. I would definitely come back!

Come here on a rainy day
May 2022
We came here on a rainy day and spent about an hour here max. It was informative and interesting for the adults, but nothing interactive for kids to do.

Wonderful train museum
Jul. 2022
Excellent exhibits on history of CP rail and Revelstoke as a rail town. Model train display was excellent- a labour of love. This is a must see site in Revelstoke.

If you like trains, this is for you!
Jun. 2022 • Solo
This relatively small museum has a wealth of railway artefacts, a coach and steam engine that you can explore, a simulator and lots of information on the history of rail in western Canada. The tour is self guided. I learnt a lot and found it very enjoyable. A must stop if you are driving through Revelstoke.
