About

Step back in time at Pickering Museum Village, a vibrant pocket of the 19th century tucked into the modern world. Here, history sheds its dusty textbooks and comes alive through the crackle of a blacksmith’s forge, the smell of heritage gardens, and the creak of decades-old timber buildings.

It is a place where you do not just look at the past—you actively live it by cracking riddles in historical escape rooms, wandering lantern-lit paths on eerie ghost walks, and trying your hand at long-lost pioneer skills.

This charming village transforms local heritage into a playground of discovery, making it the perfect escape for anyone looking to spark their curiosity and connect with the timeless stories of early settlers.
