Being able to look at what the cannery was, and what it produced, felt like a peek into history and not that distant that we couldn't relate to it. Bumble Bee is a brand that we know, so it made it even more relatable.

After going over a wooden bridge not knowing what to expect we found this place. It was so interesting to walk around and explore. After we stopped in a small restaurant there called Rouge we were greeted with a sample of there home brew and the we sat by the water and enjoyed another Pint

Fun to walk around and see the warehouse and the pictures, not a big attraction but fun and then you can have coffee at the cafe on the same pier.

The plant has few people, no one bugs you as you walk thought the self-guided tour of the old plant. The story of labor and innovation is interesting. The space is a wonderful open air building with sunshine streaming through right on the water. To get there you drive down a long wooden brings which is kind of fun in... More

Has a lot of old canning machinery, and fishing gear. Has some great blue prints of old fishing boats, including several on-site. Not very big, but in a building so it's great for a rainy day.

If you and your kids like to watch the sea lions, this is the place to go. The history of the cannery and the lives of the men and women that worked at the cannery was very interesting. There is a nice little coffee shop to sit and watch the sea lions play and the boats go by.

This was a very interesting museum at the end of a pier. I didn't even realize that there used to be a Bumble Bee cannery there at one time (it's now in China, unfortunately). Has a lot of interesting displays. My wife and I enjoyed it. Be sure to visit Coffee Girl. We had hot chocolate and a great dessert... More

Go to the 39th street and drive across the bridge to the cannery. This use to be the Bumbee Tuna Factory before everything moved to China. If you eat at the Rogue Beer brewery,you will find a little museum in the back about the cannery. Walk back to the bathroom and you will be walking back in time to parts... More
