Fodor's Review:

This is two museums under one roof: the collection of the Model Ships Museum includes exquisitely detailed early-20th-century military and working vessels, notably a 13-foot replica of the HMS Hood, the British Royal Navy ship that was sunk by the German warship Bismarck in 1941, and a model of the Hunley, an 1863 Confederate submarine that was the first to sink a surface vessel. The Model Trains Museum, the world's largest toy-train collection on public display, includes a diorama of the Fraser Canyon and the Kettle Valley that involves 1,000 feet of track and some large-scale (3-foot-high) model trains.

Cost: Both museums C$7.50
Open: Mid-May-mid-Oct., daily 10-5:30; mid-Oct.-mid-May, Tues.-Sun. 10-5:30
