This was a cool little discovery as we were looking for something to do on a rainy day. Great little museum with an oddball collection of artifacts, case files, correspondence, photos, etc. We spent … Full review by Erinfullerton

To the best of my recollection the cost of admission is as follows: adults $12.00 seniors & students $10.00 youth (child) $ 8.00 The prices if not correct are very close to being correct. The Vancouver Police Museum is a very economical exhibit and a nice and educational way to pass a wet and rainy day.

There is a morgue and slices of bodies on display. It’s more for adults in that there are a lot of articles to read of old cases. We had a talk from a guide there about women on the force. It’s not something younger ones would sit still for or be interested in. It’s not a very large museum. Just one floor in an old building in a bad part of town. Safe but if they’ve never been there they would need to be told about it first.

Probably any time of year the museum is worth visiting. When I go back, I think I'll try a walking tour -- see the "Sins of the City" link on the website. They also show movies in the morgue …
Probably any time of year the museum is worth visiting. When I go back, I think I'll try a walking tour -- see the "Sins of the City" link on the website. They also show movies in the morgue once a month. That would be fuN!
