Arts & Culture
It is a collection of easy structures from around Burnaby, rested and gathered into a turn of the 19th/20th century village cluster. There is a refurbished Interurban tram that used to be the main transport into Vancouver and in the season, volunteers dress up in period costumes and are part of the experience. It is usually free except for rides on the rescued and refurbished Carousel.
