Mike Stolorena

Ben

Lots of very interesting things to Read About here. Nice stop.

Alex Vardy

We drove from Lake Louise just to visit the museum. We encoutered passenger and container trains many times just outside the museum. The displays are appealing and informative. We got many train-related products, books and DVDs. We were also given specific directions to get to the Last Spike. Totally worth it!!!

JJ Arsenault

My kids loved it. The train simulator was a nice touch for kids (it requires toonies).

Judy Krakalovich

Top Notch, you should buy a season's pass here if you have kiddos!

Blake Maudsley

Son enjoyed it, daughter found it kinda boring, but lots of good info on the railroad

Jay Isaak

Love looking at all the trains and rail cars, gift shop was awesome as well.

Ehsan T

Amazing museum with highly competent staff. Very informative about the history of CP rail and its impact on Revelstoke. I'm surprised at the amount of historical artifacts and the diesel-electric locomotive simulator. The centerpiece of the exhibit is the Mikado 5468 locomotive, and it's massive! Definitely worth visiting.

Paul Bloomfield

A must visit when you are in town , especially if you love trains

Dian Verwey

Loved going! got a cool cup and two shot glasses from the gift shop!

Kevin Scheller

Great Museum, we had a lot of fun here and it was very educational. If your driving through Revelstoke, I highly recommend stopping for a few hours and checking it out!

Christopher Cogswell

Great museum and was the perfect place to stop and give the kids a break from the long drive. No food sales but that's not needed here.

Arianne Smith-Piquette

Loved learning about the people of Revelstokes roll in the rail line over Rogers Pass. And trains are just inherintly cool.

Lyska Fullerton

Malaka Walpola

Love the trains. Would have been nice to see the models working for the kids.

Interesting and historically informative...was wonderful to see old locomotives up close and to

ストリートホーク

Nice museum lots of great train history!

Giovanni Romero

Incredible museum! Beautiful trains to watch and even go in! Great price for what you get. Would recommend to put music in the museum or train sounds!

Simon Chung

This museum is amazing for a small town museum. There is a lot of history to read about in this museum as well as hands on stuff for the kids. The top attraction is an old steam engine located indoors and an old rail coach setup for guests and staff. You can walk through the entire car. Outside there are lots more rail cars to check out and explore. It’s worth the stop if you are in the area.

Aarika Clinger

Great Great history. Absolutely love the upstairs asthetic and exhibit. They have very nice railway artifacts and well curated. Good photo opportunities and the staff really knew their stuff. Had the opportunity to meet a couple board of directors who work on site. One restoring the interactive mini train display and the other who seemed to be an expert in absolutely everything. 100000% recommend. Good for adults and children.

Many headed Hydra

Lovely purpose built building housing an engine and a carriage in lovely restored condition. Plus lots of side rooms showing posters and articles from a bygone age. Interesting history of the men who worked and lost their lives building the trans Canadian railway

Jim Isaak

I love trains and this place was great! The snow removal engines were eye opening.

Cliff

This hidden gem is enormous, wish could have explore more about it. Some cool new stuff from them, and a few more might have bought but finish for some other time. Awesome stuff!

Dorian Dagneau

Loved it. Super friendly staff. Very informative pictures and stories. Very well kept and clean. I loved every bit of it. I wish we could have went inside the big locomotive engine but I understand why it's blocked off. Lots of stuff for kids to climb in and there is a play room for the younger ones.

Bryan Birn

The CPR is a huge part of B.C., Canada, and the area. This Museum does a great job telling so many stories of what it must have been like. You never thought that clearing snow off the lines was interesting until you see it done. So much to see and do. A great cloudy / rainy day adventure. Kids will love this place, just don't let them run around crazy. Chinese workers are highlighted up the stairs, don't miss their stories. If you have the time out the back are cool things to look at on the tracks. Worth the price, and the people are nice + helpful.

Danielle Lank

Not a big museum but was interesting and there was a retired driver who was working there and he was very friendly and he was definitely enjoying explaining things.

Lucas Auriemma

Very enjoyable visit. Big steam engine and you can tour a old railcar. A model railroad and lots of old cars. Great Covid protocols.

piyush popatbhai Padaliya

Great place if you like train history

Ibraheem Uthman

So much history here! Really well done. We loved being able to actually explore a few trains inside.

Katherine “Ksimera” T

Nice attractions in Revelstoke

Jonathon Lintott

Great place if your interested in old trains at all.

Marten K

Great museum friendly staff

Eileen Dreams

Very well done. Good historical overview, great detail on steam locomotive and locomotive simulator and quite a model railroad!

Wei Kung

Loved the History shown in the building and outside on the rails on how Revelstoke become into existence

KM MK

Took our train obsessed son ???? and he had the time of his life. Lots of interesting information and bits of history that most people probably dont know. Lots to see and do and admission is pretty cheap. We went for the kids but still learned lots and had a good time.

Susan

Popped in on a rainy day. Lots of great info, even the kids enjoyed climbing in and on the trains and looking around.

tim chapman

An great museum to take kids too. A BIG favourite with all 3 of my boys!

Rob Bruce

Awesome Railway Museum to visit, exceptional signage explaining the various pieces, the second floor overlooking the steam engine and river car is something else. Don’t forget to try the train simulator for $2 as well! A must see when around Revelstoke.

Craig Reichel

Over 40,000 sq ft of all things railroad. Sheldon Cooper would pee himself here. This place is wonderfully layed out and chockablock full, of fun and fascinating historic train stuff. Highly recommend.

Jean Chow

I did not expect to be so entertained by trains. We came here to give my two young sons a break on the long drive between Calgary and Vancouver. It was so much fun for them to run around, climbing in and out of the trains. Two trains are indoors, quite a few more outside. There is an excellent play area for kids with puzzles, games, dress up, coloring sheets, and a wooden train table. The signs are informative, telling interesting and emotional stories about the men who worked on the railroads. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

Jan Bek

Despite COVID-19, Revelstoke Railroad Museum is open for business. Our visit was well worth the stop and fees waived. We did donate however as it’s volunteer based. Stop and contribute to this important celebration of rail history in Canada.

Gage Stevenson

Stopped by to stretch our legs on the trip from BC to Alberta. We were pleasantly surprised with the museum and the kids loved that they could climb inside the different train cars.

Andrea Cragg

This is an excellent museum. I learned so much about the toughness that the workers had to build and run the railway through the wilderness. It also makes clear the contribution and sacrifices that the Chinese immigrants made even though they were treated terribly. You owe it to yourself to learn how the Canadian Pacific changed Canada.

Didier Debae

The museum is a great way to take a day off from the hitting the trails. Hours can be spent looking at the museum's many artifacts and reading the exhibits to learn the history of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The experience becomes significantly immersive when you enter the main gallery and come face to face with a walk-through passenger car sitting next to an old steam engine. Pop out the back for the chance to walk along a little yard where you can go inside a caboose while taking in a variety of other cars. You may even see an operating train roll through as the museum sits directly adjacent to the tracks!

JJ ceo

Well designed, quaint, medium sized museum with loads of accessible information. The staff and volunteers were very kind and knowledgable.

Joleen Gregg

Lots of cool exhibits and interactive set ups. Son loved going on the railcars

Don Mix

What a beautiful way to keep history alive. Definately something to see.

Rick Windsor

Well worth the visit if you're a train buff.

james armitage

I thought it was an AWESOME museum.... especially since I'm an engineer myself. Covid put a little bit of a damper on things, but overall, a GREAT place to go see!

Gurpreet Singh

interesting museum about railway history in West Canada. perfect activity die a rainy day

David Plimmer

I really enjoyed this. Lots of history, it's anazing the manpower required to maintain rail service back then.

Dan Iliescu

A great experience and a very helpful staff. Due to Covid-19, the staff are taking extra precautions and cleaning the area every few minutes.

Christian Louise

TRAINS ???? ???? I LOVE TRAINS!!!!! And there’s trains that drive right beside here like every 15 minuets!!!! It’s awesome! Also a great history lesson for children of all ages! (Or children at heart like me!)

Ron Peters

What an awesome museum! Our family enjoyed the rich history right in front of our eyes. Murals, photographs, real railroad tools, videos and actual coach's to tour made this a great museum. There was even an engineer on duty to explain the workings of the steam engine! PLUS, a railroad simulator. My family enjoyed several 4 minute rides conducting a train down the tracks. The smiles were huge! There is no doubt that the beautiful rail coaches and wonderfully preserved implements that this museum has on display will bring history back to life for you. This was an affordable and fun stop for my family, not too far off the highway, located on a frontage street in Revelstoke that can easily serve as a nice break in a long road trip, or be added to a vacation in the area.

Bob Davies

Informative, authentic. Helpful, friendly staff. Also thought this part of one of the paintings was funny.

Brian Holle

10/10 authentic train experience! Tried to go, but never made it past the entrance intersection to the parking lot because there was a long, loooooong train stopped/trying to back up there. Can't think of a better way to experience a train in its mountain environment! In all seriousness, it's probably lovely and Revelstoke is great, would definitely make time to give this museum a shot.

Jennifer Gilmore

Should be busier! It’s great, a passage through time, original locomotives, a Rocky Mountain sleeper, beautifully curated and even a simulator. This museum deserves your support. British travellers.

Christa Mills

This place is a hidden gem in Revelstoke. Those who like railroading or history should definitely stop in here.

Gary Stortz

Great place to learn the history of the railway system in Revelstoke

Todd Prodanuk

Nice museum also if you are not a fan of trains. Lost to see form the historie of de poeple in and around the trains.

María Inés Parnisari

Very impressed with the exhibits here. Fascinating history of the Canadian Railway from it's beginning.

Jodi

This Museum is full of history and well done! It is definitely worth the visit. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable!

Shawn Benbow

Awesome museum. Very interesting history of the CPR (how it was built, coping with extreme weather, etc.), model trains and real trains. There is also a movie about Revelstoke and the railway mid last century.

Utsab Chattopadhyay

A must for any train or history buff to explore the history of Canada's railways.

AngusAJM

What a wonderful collection that truly educates you on the historical importance of the railway to the settlement of the West and the establishment of a lasting nation. Things to read, touch and experience. A working model train that entertains children and families ...

Jacob Geyer

They have some pretty cool trains!

Gregory Thaczuk

Super neat! Amazing to see the old locomotives up close

Eric Kelly

One of the better "local interest" museums I've visited. Well thought out, conveyed the topic well. The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Dave Locke

Very interesting museum, not big but well thought out layout and well worth the visit. The lady at the admission desk was very knowledgeable and gave us a personal insight into Revelstoke as a railway town.

Andrew Ebbers

What a great display along with the complete easy to read story. Very interesting. Watching the actual documentary with real people was fascinating. Well worth watching.

Maria M.

Small facility, but a few interesting tidbits about the history of railways in Canada. Very neat to climb into an actual railway car.

STEPHEN WARD

This place Is wonderful. As soon as we entered the building the lady who works there greeted us and was exceptionally friendly. She was super talkative and when we finished our tour we chatted with her for quite sometime. I'm a current railroader and must say that everything Inside and outside of the building was amazing. Great detail, great artifacts and Information. I highly recommend going here. I will definitely be back In the future and once again thanks again to the front desk woman for all the fantastic facts and wonderful conversation.

Rachel M

Would have to be The most wonderful museum ever, we loved it, one of the places to go back to incase we missed something. ❤

Matthew Schulz

Excellent place to take children or people interested in history of Canadian Pacific Railway and its importance in Revelstoke and surrounding area and Canada in general. Simulator is also a decent representation of working on an SD40 (I work for the railway) and has rolling stock in the yard outside to look at / walk through.

Azoriandan (Dan)

Second visit, just as good except last time we were entertained with the live storytelling of Bert (or was it Ernie?) who has sadly passed. Wonderful stop!

Claire Meier

Very informative, gives an impression of the importance of Revelstoke and Railroad for the region and Canada. Very impressive is the steam locomotive inside. A visit is recommended.

Molly Fredeen

If you have an interest in trains this is the stop for you. It is privately owned and run. The museum is both inside and outside exhibits of train engines (steam & diesel) along with track maintenance equipment. Information videos are quite interesting along with a simulator of operation of the train for $2.00 if I remember correctly. There is a $10 entrance fee but it is well worth it and helps to run the facility. You will not be disappointed.

Antony David

Awesome museum to visit. The displays are wonderful! Great gift shop too. A must see when in Revelstoke!

progmistro reviews

Didn't gone in this trip. Loved it 3 yrs ago when we went.

Zachary Davis

Super great experience! Lots to see in the Museum if you are fascinated by trains and the history in general.

Anna R

A wonderful attraction tucked just off the Highway, a must stop for any train enthusiast, the full size trains were a wonder to the child, and the artifacts and dioramas provided a great recounting of history. We didn’t get to go out in the yard as it was too cold but will next time we stop.

Carina Kwok

This is an excellent place to visit no matter what the weather is doing, I would recommend this to visit if you're anywhere near. Only a small site but crammed full of history, good for all ages but perhaps better for the people who understand the importance & achievement of the early pioneers. I hope the people here get more help to expand their museum with more rolling stock & exhibits. We loved this place keep up the good work. Visiting from England

Ross Rykyta

A good bit of history on the Canadian Pacific Railway doesn't really cover the wider Canadian railways.

Matt Allen (mattbenallen7)

Definitely worth the visit, lots of history regarding the CPR including a large number of artifacts. The building the museum is housed in is incredible. There is lots of parking for large RV's on Victoria Road right in front of the museum.

Heidi Reist

Nice place, took us about an hour to thoroughly explore. Fair deal as well, it's a must visit for anyone visiting the area for the first time

Chris Sanfino

Completely exceeded expectations. Our toddler was so excited he could go into a train car, sit in a caboose, and go into a snowplow. Nice building, excellent displays!

Tori W

Nice place to visit staff are very nice

Matt Spittal

I learned some knowledge about the first Canadian railway constructed by Chinese immigrants

Kristian Horwood

Some excellent artefacts and a good visit but outdoor displays weathering badly.

Princess K

Great little museum with lovely people running it

farzaneh afzali

Great not so little museum for a small town. Kids loved it. Would have liked to read more of the history but kids were too excited to climb in and see everything

Ian Rice

Fun way to spend an hour or two. The kids loved the engine simulator. Very friendly and helpful staff

Cynthia Koan

Did not go in the museum, but the historic rolling stock was interesting enough to stop by and look at. Snow plows and vintage freights cars. Adjacent to the very active Canadian Pacific line in downtown Revelstoke

Fakes

If railroads, mountains or Canadian history interest you this is a great place to spend a couple of hours.

Jesse Tregilges

This museum is a must for anyone who loves trains. Excellent exhibits, both indoors and out, that really tell the history of Canada. My favorite is the simulator: you get to drive a train!

jolene thomas

This place is wonderful and fascinating! The trains on diaplay are beautifully maintained, and if a volunteer is in, you can go into the engine and see what it was like to operate a steam engine!!

Christian Vazzaz

A lot of fun. Pretty interesting. Lots to see. Very friendly staff and a cool gift store with good prices. Got myself a nice long sleeve shirt for $12. It's a self guided tour indoor and outdoor. Two floors.

Nigel Ogden

Is ok

Jamie Lind

What great place take your family to. We were traveling through Canada and stopped here with the family. My little boy loves trails so he was excitied beyond belief. They have toy trains there to play with and several walk through trails you look at. Definately give them a look see if you are in the area.

Gerry Ghostrider

Great little spot. 10 dollars is a decent price to get in. They mentioned they had a film, but that was disappointing as it was on a TV from the 1990s and had 4 old chairs to sit in in the middle of a walk way. That was odd. But the rest was cool. You cant enter the main locomotive in the building which is crummy, but you can enter the snow blow.

Cinthia Gromala

Do not go unless you want to spend $22 for family to see one engine from outside and 1 railway car.

Soulina Anderson

Great diplays - allow more than an hour to see it all. I had an houe and will need to go again some time.

Christopher Goodfellow

What a great place so interesting to learn more about trains, and also great scale train set

iamrrabbit

Great place and knowledge on the truth about how the railway was created and how trains work

Desi Princess

Informative and well run. In keeping with Covid limits we were easily able to navigate through the exhibits.

Babatunde Oshinubi

Nice little museum to spend an hour or so.

Mike Pace

We drove to revy just to bring our 4yr old here. We love this museum and visit once a year. Keep up the great work.

Best railway museum I have ever been to. Great variety of displays and rolling stock. Lovely steam engine and passage cars inside that are fully restored.

Ayn Rand Catalan

As a Railfan, I loved this museum! Very interesting history!

Aurora Edwards

This is a must see if you are going through Revelstoke. We love history and this was packed. There were so many areas of interest that were so perfectly displayed. We were so amazed by the size of the steam engine and loved walking through the coach cars. Kids will love the running model railroad display.

Stefan ChEx

I've loved trains since childhood and this museum didn't disappoint. So many displays, models, and exhibits to see about RR history in BC and how they completed the mountain pass routes to connect the nation. There is also a section for kids and a the local model train club built a miniature railway which operates upstairs.

Bonnie Maitland

Great little stop in Revelstoke, affordable and rich in history! A great place to stop on your way through town!

Iris McBride

A lovely casual look at railway history and the role the railway has played in local history.

Caroline S

It was informative and had a lot of signs to read. But it was a self guided tour, and the experience may have been better with someone in the museum guiding you through some of the bigger exhibits. A few things were taped off and there wasn't very much interactiveness, just a lot of signs. I learned a lot and enjoyed myself. But the experience could be made so much better.

Jesse Hedley

Pretty cool place to visit if you're driving through. Brought my niece and nephew, and he loved the trains and being able to go aboard.

Kevin Luo

What a great museum. My family really enjoyed walking through the rail car. We kind of wish we'd been able to climb the trains outside. Lots of great information,, should definitely go again.

Emily Steele

Average museum. Spent less than 1hr here. Not much to read

Matt Hiskett

Really neat look at railways and what an important part they played in building our nation.

Chirag T

'Must visit' for a railway fun! Reserve the whole day for it, it has a lot to see.

Nice museum about the history of the railway around Revelstoke and Rogers Pass. I liked the fact that there is a steam engine and passenger car within the museum that you can take a look at inside. Recommended.

Davinder Sond

Very historical peice of the town

Masochistik Mal'ganis

Awesome experience, so thankful we stumbled upon this place. Great reading and seeing the history and work that went into the railway system in Canada. Also amazing seeing the sheer magnitude of the steam train inside.

Chaminda J.

Absolutely great experience; wonderful mix of displays and dioramas and, of course, the railyard display. A must stop. Our 14 month old daughter loved the steam engine!

Shan Susan Huang

It's an excellent railway museum. My toddler was very disappointed that the model railway upstairs wasn't running, but I was quite impressed with the exhibits.

Melinda Gross

Karri-ann Flater

Cute little museum, the trains inside were very clean and well kept!

Veronique Verreault

Nice museum I have to say. If you're a history buff you definitely want to visit this museum. The kids they loved it and we had to drag them off the trains to go home! I wish more places in Canada would display such part of Canadien history.

Great little spot to stop when travelling through Revelstoke. Watch out for the cops, they are relentless.

Great time lots of history.

Mahdi Yeilaghi

Super cool train museum. My kid loves trains and there were a few you could walk through which was awesome. Even a kids scavenger hunt

Don Ewart

Very enjoyable. Great for a rainy day or when you need a rest from outdoor activities. Tells the history of the area and the exhibits are well done.

Lance Hyndman

I was totally looking forward to visiting here on our Revelstoke adventures. My experience was a little disappointing due to the simulator being down and there was no one available to run the mini track. The rest of it was great.

Kathyy Hendry

So interesting and informative! Lots to see and able to go into 2 steam engines. They also had a game where you can drive a steam engine virtually with all the sounds and gears etc. So cool! This will fill up a good afternoon. There is lots to see outside the museum as well. The gift shop was great!

Brandi Povitz

A really nice small-medium sized museum that has a plethora of information regarding the construction and racial discrimination of Revelstoke's railway and its workers. I would recommend you to come if you have kids and are interested in these sorts of information. This museum does indeed have a couple of the old fashioned (but well-maintained) cargoes which you may enter.

Larissa Jordan

Great museum.have to visit when in area

Pam Collingwood

It was a great display of some railway history. I wish you could have gone in the trains. Our kiddos loved the dish display and the model train.

Minnie Hol

Very well preserved and presented museum which gives a comprehensive overview of the railway and it's role in creating modern day Canada. Naturally there is a big focus on the difficulties and solutions regarding the passage through the Rockies. Allow 4 hours for a good look around the many fascinating exhibits displayed both indoor over two levels and outdoors.

Judith Vogelaar

Great pit stop and learning moment to break up your drive to the BC interior. And a great adventure for the kids! Reasonably priced too.

Robert Reid

History of the Western leg of the railroad. Hardwork and personal sacrifice.

Good museum, lots of information on the CPR and the building through the Rocky Mountains.

Good value. Great place to be a kid again at this place. Good history lesson on BC railway history. Lots of parking available.

tom robson

Amazing experience would recommend

Mark M

A nice but small museum that highlights the history of the Canadian Pacific Railroad. One third of the museum is dedicated to exhibits on how the railroad was constructed, and the other two thirds houses a Pullman car and a steam locomotive. If you take your time, you can spend a couple good hours here.

Amber Samborski

Amazing, so much information I never knew. A must see in Revelstoke, a nice way to spend a rainy day

Tami N

The museum is great tribute to all of the men and women who worked and even gave their lives to build the key feature in connecting this country together. Reminds one how rugged and wild this landscape is. Good for kids with the simulator and model train display.

Darrian Jenkins

Great place to visit with a family. Have some interesting displays and trains. Enough displays and info to be interesting, mostly focusing on the completion of the railway in the West. Kids loved the train simulator (it's an additional $2).

M Nikolai

I lived in Farrell trailer Park for yrs till I moved. To this day sounds of a train helps to calm and fall asleep. I miss going to railway days.

Friendly staff. The layout is nicely though out with ample space perfect for kids. Is great place to stop in Revelstoke to take a break from driving .

Steven Dunks

A must visit place in Revelstoke. It is worth the admission fee

Great history exhibit. We loved seeing the old trains.

Glenys Archer

Super cool ???? to be able to walk through a train and see an engine room.

Neat museum, gives you a great perspective of the magnitude of the job of building the railway and its continued challenges.

Bryan Cousin

If you like trains and/or history, this is a must see

Michael Popko

Great museum for such a small town well worth a visit.

This is a fantastic museum. One of the better ones I've been to.

hina arshad

This museum has a great layout, super interesting plaques to read, and it’s fantastic that you can go inside the trains and see them firsthand! I’d definitely recommend it.
