The Campbell River Museum is one of the most impressive museums in the province - a moving and evocative exploration of local history and heritage; a credit to the community and a must-see attraction.

I must congratulate you on having one of the nicest and unexpected museums of your size I have ever been in.

A museum that renews my hope in the past - Haa'wa: 'makes it exquisitely alive'... my favourite museum in the whole world.

Historic Boat Tours

The Museum at Campbell River will once again offer its summer historic boat tours in partnership with Discovery Marine Safaris. Each trip explores the history of the region from the comfort of a 30-passenger boat that includes both indoor and outdoor seating areas, and an on board washroom. As well as an experienced Captain, there is an on board naturalist who is constantly on the lookout for wildlife to point out, and a Museum Guide to share historic points of interest.
