Reviews of Kamloops Museum & Archives (Tourist Attraction)

Fortunato Wenceslao

Small area wise, but rich in history content. I would like to say a big thank you to a wonderful and friendly lady at the front end for a warm welcome to my family's visit, and also to a lovely lady upstairs for a very informative small chat that turned out a significant amount of knowledge I gained about my visit in Kamloops city.

Kamloops hidden gem! My son begged me for weeks to take him to the museum, I’d never been but he’d visited a handful of times with his day camp. We started on the top floor and worked our way down, learning along the way. The bottom floor is the pinnacle of the museum for families, there are a number of fun interactive displays props. We had the entire place to ourselves on a Friday in the summer, which was lovely but almost a shame! Admission by donation, an enriching family experience!

Great little Museum I wish the city would expand.

Debra Sterling

Our kids love this place.

Alex Henry

Friendly staff, great, informative exhibits about the local First Nations, fur trade, history and geology. Small but well worth the visit. No immediate free parking, and it was too windy for me to want to look far haha

Suggest $3 donation for adult, $1 for kids. A fun place for kids.

Glen Bowden

Great experience for kids

James Steele

If you are local or passing through it is a neat place and it certainly introduces one to the history of the region. If you are local and it is a rainy day it's a great place to spend an hour or so with your kids. The bottom floor can keep my 3 year old occupied for more than an hour.

Mollie Routledge

This is a fantastic little museum, if you are a local and havnt visited you should, especially if you have small children, excellent play and learning area for them. For adults an excellent permanent display and the museum staff do a great job on the rotating exhibits.

Charles Bernard

Nice displays for a small area. The Victorian style, Hamilton made grand piano was outstanding! Too bad there wasn't a recording to listen to how it sounded. Many small exhibits within may not appeal to everyone's idea of a heritage museum. However, there is much written information which makes up for the seemingly short time it takes to view everything. Overall, quite quaint and worth the $3.00 donation to visit.

Rob J

I was really surprised at how nice this museum was. Absolutely a worthy stop when traveling to or through Kamloops.

Leigh Ratcliff

Marcie Down

Enjoyed the Museum throughly. Lots to see and activities for youngsters too.

Patricia Iciarte

Cute museum! We have been in a good amount of Museum in Canada and this is a cute/small one. It’s very clean and informative. Very budget friendly as they ask for a minimum donation of cad 3.00 The only reason I’m Not giving them 5 stars is because a few activities for kids were closed due to covid but they could have something for little kids covid friendly.

Richard Reykdal

Great place to visit for an hour or two. Has a great area for kids to play but unfortunately due to COVID lots of the kids stuff was unavailable or not put out. Still fun to walk around and look at the displays though.

Brent Kandetzki

Great local museum about Kamloops and European settlement. Entry fee is a small donation so you can just pay what you can afford. Great interactive play area for small children.
