Barkerville Historic Town Park

We had an excellent day. The village tour was well done. And very interesting. In the Victorian class was a good 30-minute session as well as many new information. We all loved watching a blacksmith at work, and he was friendly and talked to us about everything he did and how to make the various articles. All buildings were amazing, all items inside, and very easy to get around.

I'll visit again! The city tells its story about these amazing people who are on the roles. They feel a lot for them! Many acting scenes that pass all day on the street, you just have to look around and find them. The theatre is a must to see, otherwise you miss a large part of it and trust me, it is good worthy!

A must for the family. There are also restaurants that are a treat. It is an amazing view of daily life during the late 1880 BC Cariboo Gold Rush when Barkerville was the largest city north of San Francisco and West of Chicago.

We had a great time at Barkerville even though half of their activities weren't up and running post c19. There were still several period actors stolling around that you could talk with. It was entertaining to be thrown back in time, and see things the way they were back during the gold rush times. The Chinese homes were facinating (they could have used several more ethnic Chinese actors). The shops are expensive, but that is true of any secondary purchases at a theme park. I loved that they had a seniors rate to get in, and that we saved another 10% because we were a group of four. Go see this, it's a hoot.

It’s a very special place. It’s very interesting to walk around in the town and see a lot of historical things. I had a great experience at this place several years ago. I always want to go back again with kids. They will love gold panning and the shows as I did.
