SS Sicamous Marine Heritage Society

We made a special trip to see this museum only to find they were closed for the season. However, as my friend was looking in the window declaring "I see people", they let us and a few others in. This is one of the most interesting museums I have seen so far. You will not be disappointed. Special thank you for allowing us access and also to Chris for the tour of the wheel house.

An unexpected gem! Inexpensive tickets were a no brainer for us to take a peek inside and see what this place had to offer. We were pleasantly surprised by how long we ended up staying and how much we learned about the history of Penticton. My kids loved going around the boat and soaking up the scenic views of the beach nearby. We read a lot of the signs and learned so much - Great place to break between the beach festivities and action park!

We unexpectedly came across the S.S. Sicamous Museum while visiting Penticton for the day, and we’re so glad we did! There were no wait lines, admission was affordable, and it was such a unique experience walking through the ship. The highlight was being able to go up to the roof and stand on the captain’s deck—such a cool perspective! Our kids had a blast exploring and picked out some fun souvenirs to remember the visit. A great little gem that’s well worth the stop if you’re in the area!

Great experience! A lot of information throughout the museum with a lot of cool artifacts. Definitely worth the visit!

While visiting Penticton for a month, I was interested in this museum from reading about it online. I thoroughly enjoyed this museum. It’s a work in progress with many fabulous stories and preserved history on several levels. I especially enjoyed the wedding dress room and the Prince of Wales suite.

You can tour the boat for a nominal fee. Well worth it to learn about the history of this boat and the time period it operated in. Crossing the border from Washington state was a bit of an experience.

Visited on the first day of its 2025 opening, and it is also the 111 birthday of this ship. Extraordinary customer services, very cute museum.

Beautifully kept and restored. It does shows the history of Okanagan lake and how it's popularity erupted because of the orchids.
