This is a definite must see for travellers to learn more about the area. Enjoy your stay in Williams Lake, it is one of those little known gems of the Cariboo.
This is a wonderful place to bring visitors to show them the tourist center Williams Lake has with the theme of nature and the great wild west. I have also obtained travel info. here as well as been to Christmas craft sales.
Starting with the log/tree design of the building through the log cabin, you will find stuff for all ages. The Discovery Centre is geared at 3 age goups: the kids, the adventurous and the mature.
We arrived in the late afternoon and called two tour companies this one responded promptly and we arrived first thing in the am and were just about the only ones on the double decker bus. The gentleman who chauffeured us about town had a witty friend who knew his history and did a great job of informing us of all the historic places in town. He also told us where we could tour free of charge and we proceeded to do just that for the rest of the morning and half the afternoon. Thankyou Roddie
This has to be the best looking tourist centre I have seen, with plenty of information but unless you really want to go hiking there really is not a lot to do or see (excluding countryside). Activity wise and places of interest for the Tourist are not there.If passing through and need a night's rest, go for it. But don't plan too much time here.
Lovely reasonable local crafts..gorgeous local JadeFriendly informative staff! Drew maps listed services told us about walks for dogs kids etc
Our second visit here and again they were wonderful...have a lovely knack for bringing out the best in our wee 6 year old granddaughters...we wiil go back!
lots of parking available - easy to get to from the highway - easy to see where the entrance is etc. as it is right there as you get into the town - nice people although they could use uniforms that fit ! - great displays - also a place to get a coffee and some local goods that are for sale there
This place is worth a visit just to check out the log construction inside and out. Very Impressive!The staff was very helpful with maps, etc.
This building is a must-see! Spectacular log structure and lots of information about the area. Also a nice gift shop and specialty coffee.
