Vancouver Maritime Museum

Very charming little museum. Was great for some quiet exploring after being at Granville Island earlier that morning. The main exhibit is centered around the St Roch, a historic Canadian ship that sailed the Arctic sea im the 1940s - with some pretty cool reconstitutions of the cabins. The rest of the exhibits, including many model boats and a temporary exposition on canoes when we went, were also very interesting. would recommend if you want to get away from the rain for an hour or two!

I had so much fun at the Vancouver Maritime Museum! The exhibits were fascinating and well-presented, offering a great mix of history and hands-on experiences. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making the visit even more enjoyable. Whether you're interested in maritime history or just looking for a fun and educational outing, I highly recommend visiting the Vancouver Maritime Museum. It's a must-see attraction in Vancouver!

It's informative but there's a lot of room for improvement. Some of the font and background colors clash with each other, causing poor readability. Some of the descriptions are printed at odd corners or less than a meter away from an object, so you have to awkwardly read it at an angle. There were a couple of rooms that were kinda empty? Also several items removed from display. Visiting Museum of Vancouver afterwards is a drastic change in experience when it comes to presentation

We were walking by and hadn't planned to visit the museum but it started to rain so we thought we would check it out. We were so glad we did. My 3 year old loved it. The museum has a great play area for kids complete with dress up clothes. We were able to tour a big ship and explore the many neat exhibits. The gift shop was great and the folks at the museum were kind and helpful. If you have young kids this place is worth checking out.

Quite underwhelming, considering the price is almost $20/person. Seems quite a few artifacts are missing, no information provided with others, some tv's/monitors weren't even turned on either. A "self guided" tour that only allows people onboard the boat every 45 minutes seems absurd, considering it's self guided. Very mediocre, considering this is Vancouver and there is significant maritime history here. Would've expected this to be presented a lot better and be more engaging. I've been in better, free museums in towns of less than 5000 people. A LOT of room for improvement here.
