Located in Vanier Park at 1100 Chestnut Street, the Museum of Vancouver (MOV) offers cultural insights into the city's history, along with special pop-up exhibitions and tailored visitor experiences.

The Museum of Vancouver is open seven days a week, operating from 10am to 5pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays, and extending its hours from 10am to 8pm on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Ticket sales close 30 minutes before the facility shuts.

Standard admission rates include GST, though online ticket sales incur a service fee. Ticket pricing is structured as follows:

• Adults (18+): $24

• Seniors (65+): $19

• Students (with ID) & Youth (13–18): $19

Special Discounts and Visitor Initiatives

Travelers looking to explore multiple local attractions can purchase the Vanier Park Pass online to save over 20%. The combined ticket provides access to the Museum of Vancouver, the HR MacMillan Space Centre, and the Vancouver Maritime Museum.

Budget-conscious visitors can take advantage of Pay What You Can Sundays held on the first Sunday of every month. Each Vanier Park venue requires a separate ticket for this offer. Additionally, groups of 10 or more are eligible for discounted rates when booked in advance.

Upcoming Pop-Up Exhibition

From July 9, 2026, through October 2026, MOV hosts Press Start: A Vancouver Game History Pop-Up, which highlights the city's role in the gaming industry. Operating hours for this pop-up run Thursday to Saturday from noon to 8:00pm, and Sunday from noon to 5:00pm (closed Monday to Wednesday). Entry is available as a standalone ticket or a combo ticket with general MOV admission.

Accessibility and Low Sensory Sundays

MOV provides a fully accessible experience, including wide entrances, elevators, accessible washrooms (single and multi-stalled in the lower lobby), and five designated wheelchair-accessible parking spaces in the front EasyPark lot. Pay parking is required, with street parking also available nearby.

On the last Sunday of each month, MOV holds Low Sensory Sundays, turning off or turning down non-voluntary gallery sounds. Sensory-support kits and noise-reducing ear covers are available at the front desk daily upon request.
