Revelstoke Railway Museum

I’m not a great train lover but this museum was fabulous - lots of information about the building of the CP Railroad through the Canadian Rockies. There are old carriages to sit in and see the menus travellers of yesterday enjoyed. Plenty of videos to sit down and enjoy of the railroad from when you need a break from reading. Excellent and I’d revisit.

The museum tells the many stories of the Canadian Pacific railway in western Canada's mountains. Since opening in 1993, the museum has entertained hundreds of thousands of visitors.nnThe many exhibits cover a variety of different aspects of the railway system. According to the museum, the average visit lasts about an hour and a half. We were there for 3 hours.nnThe museum is wheelchair accessible, with ramps and an elevator to move between galleries. However, the heritage vehicles are not wheelchair accessible. The outdoor yard is partially paved and a covered gazebo is available.nnThere are very clean restroom facilities inside the museum.

I was surprised that there was so much to see! Enjoyed learning about the history of the Canadian Pacific Railway and Revelstoke's place in railway history. I especially enjoyed the models, which helped me understand the complexity of what it meant to build the railway
