    Dog friendly (we were able to bring our dog inside) and enjoyable for the whole family. Exceptional staff and enjoyable exhibits. There is even an activity area for kids. Highly recommended roadside stop!

    Really enjoyed my visit to the Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre. I love the old displays of things past, the wall of bottles were delightful to see and the skiing room was very informative, so many skiing champs! The information on our past about mining was fascinating and the rock samples just great, I enjoy looking at all the rocks from Earth and how beautiful they are, polished or not. There was just so much to see inside and out, it was very well done and educational, thank you! 😁

    Fascinating history of the gold rush and machines used to extract it. Unfortunately with the snow I was unable to visit the hand built replica village and for some reason the highways maintenance crew has piled most of the snow in front of the only map of the area making it a mountain climbing excursion just to read it!! C'mon guys this is an info center why pile all your snow in front of the only tourist map in the parking lot?

    Take the tour, it is well worth it if you are looking to gain some knowledge of the area. Would be helpful to read some quick notes on the founding of Trail and Rossland, but not necessary. 2 to 4 hours min depending on your curiosity. The tour includes a gold pan sluse for your enjoyment. Real gold from the tailings in the sluse. Lots of fun while you learn a skill. Could easily spend 2 more hours there if time permitted. Nice gift shop also.

    Great small town museum. Cool display about the ski history. Also loved the display on bottles.

    The kids are still talking about our visit to the museum a week later. They want to go back! Really cool museum which touches on many parts of Rossland's history including mining, skiing, and transportation. The outdoor displays were a BIG hit with our children. Yes the adults had fun too!

    Planned a trip to Rossland this week for a museum tour today at 11:30 (in June, July and August as per the website) only to find out on arrival that the website "has old info" and the tour was already almost done. No offer to correct their website, only an offer for us to "catch the tail end of the tour" that started earlier, at full admission prices. Not impressed and left.

🫤 Went skiing today with my family had had some of my best runs ever until the Grey chair broke down and left us stuck for over an hour. We lost half of our ski day and only received a $10 voucher. Not super impressed with paying full price for 4 runs and little to no compensation. The ski patrol was...
