Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site

Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site is an eight-acre Fraser River boardwalk where heritage buildings tell fishing, canning, and boatbuilding stories at no charge. Grounds stay open dawn to dusk, while building hours follow the published seasonal calendar.

Most buildings are accessible, and optional paid guided tours run in season if you want more structure. The outdoor boardwalk pace works well for grandparents and kids who need frequent stops.

Check the 2026 summer building hours before you promise a rainy backup. Free entry makes Steveston an easy add-on when you already plan to be near the waterfront.
