What a great little museum! Super interesting tour! The young girl at the reception made our visit so very special and it was her first week there! She was an absolute diamond. Also, our tour guide for the Spokane tour was an absolute delight. She was so knowledgable and it was so much fun listening to her! Thanks again!

Six adults and four children (under 8) took the short 20 minute train tour. Our guide was very interesting and knowledgeable, he was able to keep the kids interest even though the tour was designed for adults. The trains are in the process of being restored but you can still see the designs and imagine what it was like to ride trains 100 years ago. The museum itself was small but fascinating. The little ones loved the model train, spending 20 minutes starting and watching the trains circle. I liked the quilt with its escaped elephant story, as well as the medical cabinet with its old equipment.
The staff at this center are amazing! They were thoughtful, friendly, and helpful. My two eldest sons participated in the Junior Paleontologist session and had a blast. They are thrilled to be taking home unexplored rocks to try their hand at paleontology with their grandmother back home. I was thrilled to find beautiful jewellery handcrafted by a local artisan from silver and polished gems in the gift shop. I'm now the proud owner of a lapis lazuli bracelet and couldn't be happier. If you have kids 6-12, and you're in the area, I highly recommend checking out their website to see about signing your kids up for the Saturday Junior Paleontologist Sessions.
Nice historic collection of passenger cars. We tour the guided tour. Room from the Winnipeg hotel was amazing
If you're a railfan, a guided tour of the Canadian Pacific Railway 7-car 1929 Trans-Canada Limited collection in Cranbrook needs to be on your bucket list. The display of what the Golden Age of Rail Travel looked like for the well-to-do is remarkable not only for the equipment on display, but for the quality of the ongoing restoration. Our tour guide was excellent - he's been there for many years. I wish I would have recorded it.
