Reminded me of a scaled down version of the Royal British Museum in Victoria. Nicely done

Interesting to get an understanding of cr early days and really enjoyed film about ripple rock

Exciting to see the movie about how they blew a "hole" in the river. Very nice and authentic exhibition.

Jessica Pitstra

Very well done small city museum. They have some amazing and creative displays. Doesn't take long to go through but definitely worth a look.

Rob Hammerling

Fantastic place. Lady at the front counter with name starting with Lo went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. She has a gift. Place was well organized and informative. Will be back.

Surprisingly one of the most interesting museums I have been too. I liked it more than the museum in Victoria.

Interesting!

Julian Worker

What a wonderful museum this is with its array of exhibits pertaining to the locality. There is something for everyone both inside and outside. The First Nations treasures are still used by the local band at special events. Do not miss the Japanese gate across the road by the sea. The interiors of the log cabin and of the Willows Hotel are both excellent.

8$ admissions fee，not many visitors which is great for the current time. Always good to check the local museum .

Sharon Farmer

They house. Frist Nation artifacts and priceless items..And charge First Nations entrance fees..offer no tax off in their stores.What They do have is worth the time to go and see..No pictures are permitted in the Nations section..

Andrew Cripps

This is a museum not to miss. The First Nations masks are outstanding and the displays help paint a picture of the richness of the culture and the industry of the settlers. There’s a recreation of the lobby of the first hotel - Willows Hotel, and the logging and fishing exhibits have lots of photos and good explanations.

Great museum! The exhibits are varied and well interpreted. This museum prides itself on being an active part of the community and that can be seen in the varied activities they put on! …

The museum is wonderfully curated - tons of local treasures, and featuring a breathtaking array of First Nations artifacts and art. There's a poignant but factually-presented section focused on the residential schools, and Canada's incredibly dark history. It's an important story to tell, but it wasn't the only story highlighted; the theatre featured a beautifully narrated traditional story, accented by a gorgeous collection of masks. Definitely a must-see, particularly considering the low admission price. At that price, even just enjoying the air conditioning would have been worth it, but really - the museum is an absolute gem.

Fantastic museum for a small town! We were visiting Campbell River and looking for something to do, this was a great place to go! Very friendly staff, a well planned museum design and great information. Beautiful native masks with a great story. We took 4 kids (under 5) and they were entertained!

We stopped in here with some friends, there is so much to see. I love looking at the first nations displays and learnt a lot while there about the local history as well. we watched the little documentary they show and of course spent money in the gift shop which is stocked with all sorts of things. A MUST SEE

Fascinating insight into the history of the area. Very well curated, excellent exhibits. Worth at least 2 hours of your time, especially when it's raining.

Very interesting place to visit; you will be inspired with everything.

So much more than I would have expected! Full sized dioramas of a float home, cabin, hotel, not unlike the RBCM. One of the first logging trucks - so interesting. Great collection of indigenous masks and other artifacts, though interpretation in that area in need of update and expansion. In other areas interpretation concise and digestible. Good use of limited space.

michael versluis

Very interesting place to visit . Has a lot of history and lots of information about the area and what it was like many years ago

Alvin Lau

Neat little museum to check out to learn more about the town and area. The gift shop's selection of indigenous art is impressive and reasonably priced. The interactive information signs outside the gallery have many interesting facts.

A very nice museum to learn about early life around Campbell River. I particularly enjoyed watching the video about the demolition of the Ripple Rock peaks.
