Local landmark to which I and my family have a personal connection. I'd say it's incredible but some people might think I am biased. Oh . . . what the hay, it is incredible.

It was a really good visit with kids.
Great, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. There's lots to see around, too. we didn't get to finish up. I recommend having at least 1 hour on hand or more. Especially with little ones.

I felt like a kid again! Have you any idea how hard it is to find a working grain elevator around here? I have lived in Alberta most of my life and had never toured this historical site in St. Albert. The maintenance manager showed me around even though they were not officially opened yet. They open to public THIS weekend. Do not miss getting a view of the hopper and seeing how the elevator system works these were built at turn of the century in the 1900s - bring the whole family. This part of Alberta Heritage is a Must-see!

This is the equivalent of seeing the Lighthouse keepers quarters on the Great Lakes for the Prairies!! Don't miss the old rail load point outside the Grain Elevator doors. I can just imagine the noise and sound of the train pulling up out back. These Grain Elevators were once how we fed the nation and beyond! Look how far we have come...

Pretty historic, but needs more to do. Staff were abrupt and unfriendly. Went here for my sister's wedding pictures and didn't feel welcome.

Really well done and highly recommended if you are a local or visiting. We enjoyed a tour of the buildings and elevator and were really impressed with the site and it's upkeep. The guide did an incredible job sharing loads of history and context in an entertaining for kids and informative for adults manner. Kudos to the young people working there and everyone that has passionately preserved a bit of history for us to enjoy today.

The guides are very friendly, and knowledgeable. You can tell they genuinely like to share the history of this place with visitors. The objects and machinery are super cool, interesting, and very well preserved and taken care of. We loved it there. Admission is free, but donations are welcome.

I went for free for a wedding. It was great that I could borrow their umbrellas from the train station. The sun was really beating down on us and there wasn't any shelter. The facilities and properties were nice, lots of interesting stuff. The grass wasn't mowed recently, so we had to bring our own lawn mower and give it and the dandelions a good cut. There wasn't signage for the washroom but I asked a nice lady and she told me to go in the basement of the train station, a bit of a walk.

Tolle Privat-Führung durch eine sympathische junge Dame, die mir half ihre Erklärungen zu verstehen. Kannte sich sehr gut aus.
Ich habe viel gelernt.
