This was our first trip to the BC Forestry Discovery Centre. I was very impressed with the activites they had for the kids including musical performances and a really well run colouring area. The food was reasonably priced and good (though all we had was hot chocolate and popcorn). The people there were very friendly and more than interested in talking about the history of the buildings, trains and the logging industry on Vancouver Island. And these folks are volunteers! The train ride was wonderful. We will definelty go back for a visit in the summer.

This is a great find.. if you like boats and engines , then it's a must see. The staff are just great, the items on display are wonderful. I could go back again and again. Free entry ,, but please put something in the book and the box to keep this wonderful heritage going.

As others have said, this is an absolutely incredible collection. It's perhaps more of a personal collection than a museum in the regularly recognised sense, and you would think that the days when someone could put together a collection like this are long, long gone Bear in mind that Jim Schockey's interest in big game hunting is paramount, and this shows, of course. But if you have doubts about big game hunting it's well worth putting them on one side for the moment to experience this place: there can't be many places in the world like it. I live in the area, and I'll be back: on the next occasion I'll leave a great deal more time.

Victoria Ballet once again provided an excellent exhibition of modern ballet which they incorporated to the themes of rock history. What’s next from their amazing choreographer ? This is a gem of a modern facility, as the ballet company say themselves, ‘The best and largest stage on Island’. Highly recommended, that is, after I purchase my tickets first !
