Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Really enjoyed our visit. Good modern displays plus a huge range of antique equipment and buildings associated with the development of BC’s forestry industry. Plus a ride on a steam train!

It was an informative site that portrayed the history of how steam locomotives helped the logging industry in British Columbia. There were many outbuildings to have a look at while we waited for the train to arrive. The narrow gauge train was fun to ride in and there were many interesting things to see along the way.

We had driven past this place for about 17 years and finally made up our minds to stop and take the time to check it out. It was a damp day so we didn't explore all the trails and walking areas there are, but there are a lot, and it would be great to go back and do that on a nice day and have a picnic in one of the two picnic table areas. The main building is very informative with interactive displays, static displays and historic photos. The outbuildings are really interesting - bunkhouses, cook house, school, forest camp offices, etc. Lots of information and easy to walk through. We took the train on the 30 minute ride (one 10 minute stop where you can walk around a different area for a few minutes) - over a trestle, whistle blown at "crossings" etc. That was very cool. In the summer I'm sure it's packed, but the centre had only opened a month earlier and as it was a weekday, and damp, it wasn't crowded at all. We were at the centre for about 3 hours, including the train ride, so money very well spent. (And even bought some mini-doughnuts at the little snack place in the train station!)

We had a brilliant afternoon visiting in June 22, and was one of our favourite places we visited on our 2 week tour of Vancouver Island. We found all the old buildings very interesting and placed in a beautiful setting and we also loved the train ride that goes around the site and were lucky to see a hummingbird and an owl in the forest walk.

Wonderful for families! Very informative also. The train ride is fun but when they stop to let you get out and explore the logging equipment keep an eye on the train as they give you ten minutes and if you are not back…they leave without you! Boys and I were halfway back to train and even though we waved and yelled at them to please wait…they did not. Our fault I suppose. Lol

Organized a car club tour, 35 people, visited and had lunch here. The staff were very helpful, professional and courteous, even to the extent of helping us park our cars.
The miniature train ride and exhibits were fun, and the catered lunch was reasonably priced and exceeded my expectations in promptness of service, variety, quality and quantity.
I have no hesitation to recommend this venue for group or individual use.

An interesting museum. There is a short train ride that takes you around the centre and is a great way to see the different areas. You can also go into some of the older buildings and they have some restored vehicles that were used for logging. There is also a really cool model train display. They have a great area for kids to play but not much else. There is a lot of information in some of the buildings, but it almost felt like too much and was hard to digest some of it. Not as kid-friendly as expected. But still an interesting visit.

The museum is not much to write home about, but gosh, the toddler in my care had a GREAT time wandering the outside areas. Old machines are fun to look at and fun to touch. The train is great to ride (sit near the back if your little one is sound sensitive). The playground has endless possibility. The wetlands are fabulous for slow motion hikes. It provides just about the best day out with little ones imaginable.

We went there July first. This is a great place. The staff is really friendly, and there is lots to learn. Great place for kids, there is a train running so you can get on and off whenever you are tired. It is amazing how they ever got anything built with those tools.
We loved it.

We love the BC first discovery centre. However we were a bit disappointed with the Christmas train. We really appreciated the protocols put into place surrounding COVID, however we felt that more lights could be added to the route, there was many moments when we were just riding in the dark. There was a bit open field where they could do some really cool things but it was left blank.

There are no steps from the car park to the centre. The actual site is quite flat but the paths, as far as I remember, are natural and not paved. The train is not wheelchair friendly.
Best option would be to phone or email the centre.

How much time is advisable to plan at the BC Forest Discovery Center?
Skrevet 12. april 2016
I'dd say either 1 hour or 4.
1 hour- The Centre is a Forestry Museum, so there are exhibits, trains and machines (for example, a "yarder" with a steel "tree") demonstrating the importance of logging and mining in the area for the last 200 years. It is also adjacent to the Tourism information centre, so you can get any/all the info you need on the area.
4 hours- The Discovery Centre has a functioning steam train which runs regularly. It takes you over a trestle, then to a park. If you have kids or want a picnic, this is a great place to go. I know one mother who used to get a pass, and take her kids there almost daily so they could play and she could read.
