If you need info on Nelson, a great stop for you. The person helping us provided great info for hiking/snowshoeing, food, and near by fun activities. The reading material and maps available were amazing. We were fully informed by the time we left.

Staff was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I recommend stopping here for some info especially if unfamiliar with the area/outdoor activities/hiking in the general region. The woman that helped us provided some great info for Nelson and the Kootenays in general. Stopped here for some postcards (pretty good selection) and ended up learning from an employee it was salmon spawning season and got to see some at a nearby park! Also, there are some nice shirts and other gifts here.

We were surprised by the quality of the art exhibits at the Visitor Centre! Check it out. We didn't try the coffee shop, but it smelled good.

If your going to be in Nelson please stop by the visitor center, its inside a nicely preserved historical train station. Has a excellent coffee shop next door. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They can answer all your Nelson related questions. They provided us with an itinerary you can follow to visit and learn about the historical sites throughout the beautiful unique city of Nelson BC. The center provides the typical tourist information and a wide selection of Nelson branded items and local crafts. We couldn't resist purchasing some items to commemorate our experience. I encourage you to drop by, you wont be disappointed.

Well this was just the nicest place and there's a lovely little cafe in there with a good price point and absolutely delicious food and beverages. When my son was growing up this was just basically a holding area for Railway cars nothing special and how wonderful they have fixed it all up so that it can be used again. They had a super clean bathroom and a lovely store as well. Lots of free parking and love the old trains

Is this place Nelson's best kept secret?! Stacked full of wonderful locally made artisan products, a great one stop shopping for gifts not only for visitors but for locals too. If you haven't checked it out down at the Railway building, I highly recommend. Make a stop at the Butcher Block while you are there, excellent farm to table food attached to the Visitor's Centre! This experience is reflective of Nelson culture and supports locals.
