The discovery centre is packed full with interesting information about Roger's Pass, lodging and camping information as well a hiking information and warnings about the back trails.
Friendly and helpful staff. They were patient with us when we were uncertain what we were interested in
After the beautiful drive through Rogers Pass we stopped at the Rogers Pass Discovery Centre to have a look around, the centre is a good starting point and outlines the history of the railways as well as the nature around, however if you have time stop at the Revelstoke Railway Museum which goes into a lot more detail about the...

When we visited there was an excellent historic presentation on the discovery and development of the Rogers Pass. The challenges were extraordinary.
After having visited Glacier National Park in the USA, I was eager to see Canada's similar park....but while there are some lovely mountain views, there appears to only be a smallish museum and a big carpark next to a busy highway. No access to high mountain passes...no lodges... SIGH.... Worth a visit for sure, but does not compare to the...

This visitor center is a good place to stop if you are in the area with your park pass. It offers a nice history of the railroad activity in the area during the past century. It is however a smaller museum and probably best to visit when you have already purchased your park pass for other activities.
A relatively small exhibition but with plenty of information regarding the opening up of the pass together with hands on interaction with the wildlife exhibits. Like all such presentations you have to be genuinely interested in order to extract value for the entry fee. Arrive with a disinterested family and you'll be leaving in a few minutes.
Actually, the visitor center was closed when we got there. But when we discovered the copper colored steel bigger-than-life-size mountaineering pants, our day was made! Girl Power!!! If you're confused, make the drive and see for yourself.
The Discovery Centre quite naturally focuses on the discovery of this pass through the mountains, which enabled train and, later, automobile travel much easier access. The Centre presents the information in a helpful manner, while also displaying mounted specimens of area wildlife. It is a useful stop for stretching legs and using the restroom.
