quesnel & district museum & archives

Did not go indoors but worth a review as an attraction because of the great park behind the Museum AND because of the washrooms (around back on the park side) with hot water, soap, tp and paper towels. It was wet outside and we needed to stop and let Baby stretch his legs. There was a playground, picnic tables and a huge area of grass with no dog poo in sight. Hope you go in the Museum as it looked good. The main thing is that you can keep Little One comfy and safe but wear boots as grass may get squishy in late fall. They get good marks from me because they obviously thought this through when planning for families on the grounds.

There were great historical treasure hunts. They should set up a photo booth to get pictures taken with the haunted baby doll. Gave me the creeps

Small museum but packed with lots of artifacts, culture and history that shaled Quesnel. Lots of antiques. Very affordable entrance. If you love old stuff, those things you want to reminisce from childhood or remember from your parents' story, its here in the museum. Very educational.

Lots of early settlers artifacts and from local businesses and even more information re local First Nations people including some marvellous old recordings from their people and their association with the settlers. Ongoing historical work in the community very evident. Nice small well set out museum.

Lots of local culture here! Awesome value and a great spot for all ages. Wonderful gift shop with books and other quality items.

Staff is great and very helpful and knowledgeable about local history. They like people and show it!

What a wonderful surprise to discover this Museum, especially with the C.D. Hoy collection of black & white portraits from the early 1900's! I'd never seen his work before, but as far as I'm concerned, he's right up there with Yousuf Karsh. The staff here are also extremely helpful and professional.

We visited the Quesnel Museum today. The girls and I really enjoyed all of the local history and displays. A little something for everyone to enjoy. The bigfoot clue hunt was fun :-) So many scavenger hunts to try. You could easily spend hours here and not realize it, very enjoyable visit. Loved seeing "Mandy" the haunted doll. A fun family morning. The cost of admission is very minimal for the amount of time you can spend in there exploring... 12 and under free, youth $2 and adult $4. We walked from the hotel, only a few blocks away. Great playground area behind the Museum as well. I would definitely recommend checking out this Museum.

very good local history, very interesting for those looking for the local knowledge. nice displays, easy access to the downtown core of the city of Quesnel.

Ein nettes Sammelsurium zu Quesnel und seiner Umgebung. Keine richtig spektakulären Sachen. Aber alles ist liebevoll präsentiert.
