Canada Agriculture Museum

Not long ago, most Canadians lived on farms or in small towns. The Canada Agriculture Museum celebrates our rural heritage and reminds us of our roots. You can explore the sights, sounds and smells of traditional farm life.

Visit the animal barns and the special exhibitions, including "Tractors" and "Brewer's Gold – The History of the Hop Industry in British Columbia" of this urban demonstration farm. Discover the many breeds of dairy cattle, and see a modern dairy barn in operation. In the other barns, you can see beef cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, goats, chickens, a donkey as well as heritage breeds of farm animals.

Daily demonstrations take place from March until October. There are also various school programs, programs for young children and also special events.
