On a rainy weekday, I had the chance of visiting the museum with my little son, who was particularly excited about the Lego exhibit. While the overall experience was enjoyable, I feel compelled to share both the positives and areas that could benefit from attention. The Lego museum itself created a small but charming environment, capturing the imagination with its intricate displays and creative showcases. The attention to detail in the Lego exhibits was commendable, providing an engaging and educational experience for both children and adults. However, one drawback was the adjacent playground. Despite its potential for enjoyment, the area fell short due to noticeable issues. The playground had an unpleasant odor, and its cleanliness left much to be desired. This aspect detracted from an otherwise positive visit, especially for families with young children who are drawn to such spaces. In conclusion, the Lego museum offered a delightful experience overall. The creative displays and engaging atmosphere were highlights, but addressing the cleanliness concerns in the playground would undoubtedly enhance the overall visit for families. I hope this feedback proves helpful for the ongoing improvement of your museum.

FREE!! Really?? Yesssss.. I thought I heard wrong when someone told me to visit this museum. I thought only kids play area free but eventually free everywhere. Really liked this museum, clean and organized. The staffs were so friendly and really good customer service, warm welcome from them. Not too big so perfect for us because no need wagon.. hehehe.. the girls just walked around by themselves because so many interesting to see that you can see from my pics. I'm not a good explanation person and not a good writer so I love to express by pictures :-D Do if you never visit the museum, you must give them a chance. We will for sure go back again and again because the girls had so much there. Thank you for everything.

Fantastic place to visit with family. very kids friendly. A lot of fun activities and big playing area for kids with a theatre. Collection of great historical artifacts from various times and a designated area representing history of first nation. It is always fun to go there as i love to visit museums.

Super fun place to take the kids on a rainy day! The Lego exhibit was absolutely fantastic! Well worth the visit!

We love city museums, and this one was really well done. Lovely building, admission by donation, nice permanent displays. We went mainly for the Broken Promises exhibit about Japanese internment during WWII - very well done, it's a very moving exhibit.

Great place to spend a few hours. Play area for kids has lots of things to do and learn from. Upstairs had a lot of very cool historical items with lots of information to read.

Like a mini science world. BEST PART - Entrance fees are by donation. Lots of cool things for kids and young families.

Beautiful Christmas tree display and very friendly staff! They also have lots of activities for kids, I would recommend checking it out.

I brought my 3.5 yo daughter for the second time together with my 14 months old. Our 1st hour was spent with a playdate in their play area. The rest was to see the gallery and scavenger hunt and went upstairs to see the rest. Very friendly staff. The building is very clean and well maintained. There are picnic tables outside where we eat our snacks while enjoying the surroundings. On our way back to the parking lot, we stopped to check out the old Anniedale school, Town hall, and Anderson cabin. We definitely enjoyed our visit! Thank you for having us!

Love the Indian Army exhibit. Its history many are not not aware of and should be a permanent exhibit to HONOR them . THANK YOU to all who served and sacrificed for our freedoms

Great free kids play area, including a slide. Really appreciated a great free indoor activity for kids and how well they followed Covid protocols and kept it so clean. But overall as a museum it was quite small with not a lot of historical facts or variety of info. Worth going if you have small kids but not much else…..might be a different story when they can offer more without Covid restrictions

We went to the Cedar, Sage & Sweet Grass Event being held in the Surrey Museum for the weekend. It was enjoyable and we were able to talk to the exhibitors and particularily liked the chat with canoe maker Pat Callahou who is 5th generation Metis. We tried some Cinnamon bannock that The Bannock Queen Bakery served up and found out they sell from their Facebook. A fun experience.

Its FREE! We love the free exhibits here and free holiday events. We always donate but it's a great option for an afternoon with the kids. Make sure the hit up the Surrey Exhibit which is hidden back and upstairs, I missed it the first time I came.

It’s a nice place. They have kids play area where little one can have fun time. There is elevator so if u have stroller u can go. U will get lots of information there. Over there found out first electric car came to Canada was in 1800s.

We visited the museum on the weekend. It was not busy nor crowded which was really nice. We could spend as much time or as little as we wanted to at each exhibit. It was interesting to learn about the history or Surrey. They currently also have an exhibit about dragons and mystical creatures. The kids love the TD Explore Zone the best. It's like an indoor playground with a focus on sustainability so kids can learn and play at the same time. There was a birthday party during our visit. We didn't know the museum hosts parties. Parents can consider hosting a party here!

Have had a blast here with friends and family on the occasion of Lego exhibition. We went here early but packed with cars try to get into the museum for a piece of scavenger hunter. We discovered so many fields of Lego from sea to sky, many story telling from Lego kids learnt it at school and saw it here. We love it and would come back :)

It is great we have spots for adult’s and kid’s entertainment which is free of charge. We love it. Kids can visit Lego room, play room with a slide, colouring station. Second floor is mostly for adults. During December they have craft stations where kids can make craft on their own and take it home. Hot chocolate is also offered. Awesome place.

An absolute gem of a place if you have young kids and need to spend a few hours indoors, all free of charge. Their lego exhibit is so cool!

I have lived in Surrey my entire life, and never knew this museum existed! Granted this wouldn't be my usual "cup of tea"....In saying that I'm glad I found this place on Google and we stopped in (looking for something inexpensive to do on a rainy afternoon). So many neat exhibits! We came two hours before closing and the time flew by! I recommend taking a bit more time to go thru the exhibit's. We learned so much about the history of Surrey! I highly recommend you come here, especially if your local.

Great experience. Lots to learn about local history.

This museum is very interesting, clean, and especially lots of fun stuff for little one!

I love the Museum of Surrey! It is such a welcoming community space and a fun and informative place to visit with scavenger hunts for kids of all ages and ever-changing temporary exhibits. The dinosaur exhibit was a favourite temporary exhibit -- it was only here for awhile and is gone now. The MoS is a must visit if you are in the area!

It’s a nice place for kids to visit. Especially love the little play area section that’s great for indoor play in the colder months. Every few months they keep changing the theme of display, which is cool.

It is a great FREE place if you need to spend half an hour with kids on a rainy day, but it is tiny and if you don't live nearby it doesn't worth driving there! We came there five minutes before it opened and there was a crowd near the doors already. After twenty minutes, it was filled with people and we left. We came there because my 5 y.o. loves dinosaurs, but there are only four of them (if I remember it correctly) and it took my boys about 5 minutes to run around the exposition two or three times. The play area was more interesting, like an indoor playground.

My family went to see their dinosaur exhibit recently, it was free and fun! They also have a permanent kids play area that focuses a lot on the environment! ( good for toddlers and up)

Never been to a cleaner, friendlier museum in my life! There is a TD Bank sponsored eco learning and playing area. We came on a Sunday and there were many artists displaying their art for sale. It was very vibrant. The Lego display was absolutely amazing. Kudos to the friendly museum staff. Even the washroom was so clean. Everything is very well maintained. Good job!!

We came on the weekend for the Lego exhibit. It was quite busy but manageable. The Lego exhibit was much more impressive than I expected. If you grew up playing with Legos in the 80s/90s it will bring back a lot of great memories. Definitely worth a visit, especially since admission is free.

They put on a great Lego display and made it a free exhibit!! Bring your kids and friends, go enjoy a couple hrs of fun! Its quite the setup

Great place to find historical artifacts and war armaments used by the "ARP" around the time of 1914 - WWl It also has a significant amount of information about Indigenous people and how much the city of Surrey respects them.

Really good small museum. Their current special exhibit on bees is really quite fascinating. We spent about an hour in just that exhibit (and I'm rather afraid of bees). The Indigenous Hall exhibit gives an excellent overview of the treatment of First Nations peoples in Canada and BC. There was also a small, but very interesting, display on the Indo-Fijian community. All of the above was in addition to the museum's regular collection of local historical items. And my only complaint is regarding those displays -- many things are not labeled. For example, I saw what I believe was a milk separator. I didn't see any label for it and only knew (guessed) what it was because I saw one on my uncle's farm about 50 years ago.

We were just passing by the museum and see the big dinosaur in front of it that attracts me and my 2 year old to visit. The newly built dinosaur exhibition is so cool with light and sound moving dinosaurs. Also we visited the museum inside the round building that has abundant antiques things such as antique cards, fire truck, tools, dresses, clocks, telephone exchange set, printing press, typewriter, kitchen set, gasoline station, old machines, cameras, radios, old pictures of Cloverdale and much more to see. I love the mosaic inside the building at full walls that consist of thousands of old pictures.

Although the exhibits are on the small side, they will be a hit with the kids. The is enough animatronic action at the dinosaur exhibit to keep the children mesmerized. And once they tire of the fossil displays, there is a play area for the children with an emphasis on conservation and sustainability. And best of all, it's free!

The museum itself was a pleasant surprise. They had many artifacts on display and stories to share the history of this city. I learned lots about my own city. They also have rotational exhibits. Great for families and kids!

Museum of Surrey is free to the public. Don't miss the "Worlds of Wonder" LEGO exhibit! Kids love interactive TD Explore Zone. Visit the dedicated First Nations Gallery. Restored heritage buildings to fall 2019. Public Admission sponsored by the Friends of the Surrey Museum and Archives. Closed Mondays.

This is one of the best memorable museums I like to regular visit especially with kids as they get cool new exhibit and have really fun events like the one with so many species of rabbits live to see and the interactive play zone

Love this museum! It’s free, and they regularly have really interesting, well presented exhibits. I appreciate the rotating Indigenous Hall and the children’s play area. My son also enjoys the scavenger hunts. Staff are always really friendly and helpful. It’s one of our favourite places to visit.

Museum was very good, lots for kids to interact with in the play area( the area off to the right side of the entrance). The second floor has a nice exhibit of antiques from the past. We only had time to see those two areas, but there seemed to be more exhibits to see. It's great for a rainy day visit with the kids.

I took my 2 year old to the play area and she loved it! So many fun and educational activities. She especially loved the big slide!

What a neat little gem of a museum and it was free!

It was good display for indigenous art . I would have loved more. Bee section has a lot of reading. I would have preferred one video that explained basic bee keeping and honey/bee wax harvesting with displays of hives etc.

Fantastic interactive screenstars and movie tv history of the region .With Screen worn Superman Costume, jim Carrey costume and items from tv series supernatural. Also a green screen and a wall where you can add your own on film memories. Also local display of action figures giving history and background and a sizeable collection of museum curations from surrey' history and surrounding area!

A good place for a short trip. Plenty of things for kids as well as adults to know about Surrey. Small play area for kids as well.

My daughter and our friends' son had a great time here. It's clean and full of activities for kids to explore and learn. We all learnt something about Surrey too! Most of all it's free admission!

It was a ton of fun. My daughter loved the play activity space. Lots of parking and fun things for the whole family. I look forward to going back. A great way to spend a rainy afternoon. The staff were all friendly and helpful.

Lots of exhibits to allow us to understand more about the history of Surrey. It is a pleasure to visit the Museum. The big indoor playground on the ground floor allows the parents to take a rest while watching their kids play. The kids can definitely have a blast.

We had fun at the Mystic Creature Exhibit it was cool learning all the things and stories told all over the world about these fictional Mystic creatures... Maybe its facts.... lol Also, its great for little children to walk around in the play areas and My girls and I had a great time Upstairs looking at all the antiques and old fashioned ways ... Doesn't Compare to Toronto but still a fantastic time for a family forsure. You just need to make the most of it have no expectations just explore n have fun. Although it's free I'd encourage min $4/5 /person donations at front desk.

Pretty cool place to visit and know about the tools, appliances and other machinery our ancestors used and you can visit free of cost. There was a separate zone for kids to play that were not in the pics. I liked all the antiques there especially the tax calculator machine. I wonder how it works. I also liked the vintage car, the hanging baby cart and the fire engine.

The museum is very interactive you can get knowledge about the history of Surrey and the services surrey had back in days. It is very well maintained museum. It is funded by government so it is free and you can give donation of your wish. There is section for kids to play so it very much good families.

A fun way to spend the afternoon. Unique playground with exploration in mind. My seven year old had a blast both times we were there

Excellent place to spend some time. There are several activities and lessons in the children's play area. There were several fascinating historical artefacts and enough of material to read upstairs.

I like the Being Punjabi side of museum.which beautifully explains about history of Punjabi’s in surrey.everyone need to go and visit. It was really proud moment for Punjabi’s, when we see our history in Canada.

Shows a great snapshot of Surrey history with many historic artifacts depicting how people lived through time.

They need more children and youth programs for after school hours

Awesome free museum. Always donate money to them.

It's a great place for kids

Good place for 3~10 year old kids. Can spend 2~4 hours. Free

Nice that is in Cloverdale...

Great interactive play area for the kids!

Nice place free to go to and fun for kids

Its awesome experience spending time at this place. I like the kids play place thier that is very great place to learn how to produce biofuel and how can survive without using modern technology.

(Translated by Google) Not too big museum, suitable for bringing baby! (Original) 不太大的博物院，适合带娃来！

Beautiful. Nice place to take the kids and have some fun as they can also learn.

Awesome for kids and adults!The new and improved museum is perfect! After they renovated the place it looks like a heaven for a child with the indoor educational play room. Toy fishing, kitchen, slide etf . It looks kinda like a Lego Land. O. The other side inside it a history on Surrey area, plus other educational kids events. All by donation (non mandatory)and it's worth it!

Good but small

Excellent galleries as always and fun for all

Nice place for children.

Nice place for kids to enjoy. It have a dedicated kids playing arena aswell. The best part is that the visit to Surrey museum is free of cost. There is a Lego exhibition aswell . Kids will enjoy. Museum exhibits the history of Surrey.

Very friendly staff, was hoping to see the dinosaur exhibit didn't realize that it changed, grandkids enjoyed the lego just the same. They also really enjoyed playing in the kids room, the museum part was very fascinating to us, kind of had to move through more quickly than I'd liked too but the little ones got bored fast lol.

A fantastic place to visit for FREE! The feature exhibits are always great (Dinos! Lego! Etc) and the additional things like a lil theatre and a play place means everyone is happy! Be aware they are closed Mondays. And there are times where the feature exhibit area is closed if they are transitioning from one to another, so just check on that before you visit :)

very friendly staff and amazing installments upstairs

Great place to visit

A wonderful place for ther kids to explore on a rainy day. We visited the lego exhibit and we were all thoroughly impressed. My kids, ages 5 and 3, loved the tree house slide and the apple picking activities. So much to see and do here, we will definitely be back again soon. Great staff members that ensure children are adhering to safe and fair play.

The staff do a great job of making the museum feel welcoming. The interactive play area is the perfect place for keeping kids entertained. The museum switches their exhibits fairly regularly, so there are things to see on repeat trips. They also do a good kid with community events and special sessions. It’s worth a visit.

Great place with genuine historical artifacts from the First Nations, ordinary everyday items from past lives to antique vehicles. There's also a kiddies play area.

Well organized and displays look awesome.nust visit

Very interesting display of Punjabi culture and history! Free admission

It's by donation the indoor experience play area is great for young kids The traditional exhibitions are well thought out. It has been really kid/family focused over the last year with a dino and Lego exhibit.

Interesting

Great place for the kids to learn and play, and free of charge too.

(Translated by Google) It is very good, with a playground for children. (Original) Es muy bueno, con un sector de juegos para niños.

We saw the feature lego exhibit and it was great. The regular exhibits are very educational. Recommended for a family. Price is free.

Wow, a fantastic presentation of World War One history and how the Sihik Indian army participated in winning the war against the Axis of Evil.

Good place to take your kids. They have a separate play centre and hands on activities.

Nice museum and my daughters really enjoys it. It also has some good programs for kids to keep busy.

One of the places I go to for the preschoolers to learn and play

Interesting but could have more on Surrey history.

Visit the exhibition, it is awesome.

It's a fantastic place for kids to explore and have some indoor fun! Also very clean.

Small but good and worthwhile exhibits!

Good
