What will i be able to do

A visit to the site will include a walk through town site. There are plenty of animals to visit, and a few that really miss and love the public attention! The Museum in the Wasa hotel is open year round, as well as the Visitor Reception Center featuring the Gift shop and Cafe.  Keep an eye on our events page for upcoming winter activities! We also plan to offer sleigh rides and an outdoor skating rink, weather dependent. 

​

train schedule:

The train is down for the winter season. We usually aim to have the train running for Father's Day, and then regularly for the summer season as of July 1st. It is our steam train's 100th birthday in 2023, so stay tuned for some celebrations!
 

The train can also be booked for private events and weddings! Please contact weddings@fortsteele.bc.ca for inquiries. 

*Train tickets are not included with the price of admission. You may ride the train without entering the park if you would only like to experience the train.
