Sure, you’ll learn about the history of forestry in British Columba, but really, it’s all about hopping aboard one of the cool historic trains and chugging around the 40-hectare (100-acre) wooded site. There are a number of displays, including a blacksmith shop, sawmill, and logging trucks, plus trails to explore, a gift shop, and concessions serving up hot dogs and burgers in the summer months.
