Dog friendly we were able to bring our dog inside and enjoyable for the whole family. Exceptional staff and enjoyable exhibits. There is even an activity area for kids. Highly recommended roadside stop!Visited onWeekdayWait time30–60 minReservation recommendedNo
The kids are still talking about our visit to the museum a week later. They want to go back! Really cool museum which touches on many parts of Rossland's history including mining, skiing, and transportation. The outdoor displays were a BIG hit with our children. Yes the adults had fun too!
Great place small but friendly.
Planned a trip to Rossland this week for a museum tour today at 11:30 in June, July and August as per the website only to find out on arrival that the website "has old info" and the tour was already almost done. No offer to correct their website, only an offer for us to "catch the tail end of the tour" that started earlier, at full admission prices. Not impressed and left.
Had a day off with nothing to do, so we gave thus museum a try. Very impressive, worth the stop!
Really enjoyed my visit to the Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre. I love the old displays of things past, the wall of bottles were delightful to see and the skiing room was very informative, so many skiing champs! The information on our past about mining was fascinating and the rock samples just great, I enjoy looking at all the rocks from Earth and how beautiful they are, polished or not. There was just so much to see inside and out, it was very well done and educational, thank you!
Fun to walk thru the tour was good got to pan for gold. The skit was entertaining as well.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Very good place to find out about history of Rossland areaVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Fascinating history of the gold rush and machines used to extract it. Unfortunately with the snow I was unable to visit the hand built replica village and for some reason the highways maintenance crew has piled most of the snow in front of the only map of the area making it a mountain climbing excursion just to read it!! C'mon guys this is an info center why pile all your snow in front of the only tourist map in the parking lot?
A very well thought out centre with informed and interesting staff to answer your questions. We stopped for I formation about the mining history but enjoyed the many other exhibits available. If your interests range from history, geology, farming, journalism, and many other subjects, there is likely something here for you. We enjoyed our stop and recommend you do also. The machinery outside was also fascinating to learn about.
