Hands-On Learning: Port Moody Station Museum

Working with professionals from your own community means getting service from people who know the area well. They understand what grows best here, what the weather does, and what your neighbourhood needs.

The Port Moody Station Museum (2734 Murray St) gives your children proper hands-on learning about Port Moody’s history and environment. This isn’t your typical museum where kids just look at things behind glass.

Your family will find interactive exhibits that actually engage young minds:

The historic CP Rail Station building itself, exploring railway history.
A 1921 railcar and a 1908 tank car to explore.
Engaging displays on local Indigenous history and pioneer life.
