Rainy day blues: Free indoor activities around Vancouver
The Burnaby Village Museum is free, but if you want to ride the carousel, there's a small charge. The museum is a series of buildings replicating a 1920s small town and includes a general store, print shop, blacksmith, movie theatre and school. There is even a restored tram. Interpreters greet you in period costume and answer any questions you have. Visiting at Christmas is a family tradition for many local residents.

Gift ideas for hard-to-buy-for Vancouver guys
The man in question may have everything, and he may know a heck of a lot, too, but I’m willing to bet he does not know his way around a blacksmith’s forge. Enter Burnaby Village Museum, where he can take blacksmithing classes ranging from basic skills to a class where participants make ornamental animal heads. Now how cool is that?

Must-see attractions for Vancouver kids
Kids can go back in time at this historic outdoor/indoor museum in Burnaby. The village is modelled on a 1920s town and features numerous educational exhibits with historical interpreters dressed in period costume. There’s a blacksmith, an old fashioned schoolhouse and activities throughout the week like tin-smithing and Model-T car rides. Don’t leave without letting your little ones take a spin on the old-fashioned carousel – the beautiful fairground ride is more than 100 years old and has been fully restored.
