I went last weekend, on labour day. I've been dozens of times and always enjoy it. I loved the on street discussion of the future of the colony by the actors, they did a beautiful job. They were engaging and many people stopped to watch. The blacksmith was incredibly friendly and showed some techniques to my husband and friend (who both enjoy metalworking). Lunch at the lung duck tong was delicious but food came out in strange order and one person waiting the entire meal to receive food and our appetizer came last..... So that was weird. It wasn't busy in there either. The new trails across the creek are coming along beautifully.

This was a very good family vacation. We were able to camp nearby and the tickets to enter the park were good for 2 days. There was a lot to do and we found it to be quite reasonably priced. Our elementary school aged kids enjoyed all of the hands on demonstrations including panning for gold and Chinese cultural activities. The courtroom drama was particularly entertaining. Pack bug spray. Lots of mosquitoes and flies.

This is a must place to visit! From the old buildings (some original) to the costumes and the actors maintaining their role as a real character that had lived in this area back in the day. I was very impressed with the entire place and all the activities. You need at least two days to get to see most buildings and events.

We spent the whole day here. They have done a great job restoring and maintaining the old historical buildings. We took in the Courthouse proceedings, the theatre show and the town tour. All the actors in period costume and gave excellent performances in all venues. There are many active shops selling a variety of wares as well as food and drink. We had lunch at the Chinese restaurant. A cool place for sure! If you want to see a working museum of one of BC's most historic places, this is a must.

Great experience as always at Barkerville. Gold panning, stage coach and old fashioned photos were fun. Prices are costly, bring lots of cash. Seems like there are exhibits and buildings being added from outside of the historic Gold Rush period, which doesn't seem to be true to the original intent of this site. It is nice to see more acknowledgement of other ethnicities involved in the Gold Rush now.
