The ladies that work here is super friendly and sweet. They're not pushy into selling you the tour deals. The worker took one look at us and sold us the tickets at the student price. 5 stars for that!! The ladies are super helpful with giving us tips, and trying to let us know what local places we should check out for dinner. Super sweet! Feels like you're chatting it up with a friend's aunt! Bathroom is clean, tons of brochures. Very helpful workers and they sell tour tickets with a discount! How can you not give them 5 stars!

There are photos of early 20th century life in the area, as well as engaging personal items from local residents (example: a magnificent blanket presented to a local woman by the local First Nations people). There are things for the kids to interact with via pull open drawers and low tables. The current featured exhibit is of paintings by the artist Morosan (Vojislav (Voja) Morosan), who painted landscapes with incredible detail and elegance. He and his wife moved to White Rock in 1996 and he painted there until his passing in 2008. Really first class works, and such a privilege to see them in an intimate setting.

Crossing the border here was a really fun way to mark my son's first ever visit to Canada! It's a…read morebeautiful park with lots of interesting info signs, walking paths, and gorgeous ocean views. We took a nice spring break road trip up from Seattle to Vancouver and plotted our border crossing here - it's a lovely route with lots to see and do and this was an excellent spot to stretch our legs. The dramatic 67-foot tall, brilliant white arch spans across the border into both countries and shines like a beacon against the grasses and ocean. It's beautiful and we had fun making a fuss of my son walking over for the first time haha! The most astounding thing was finding a neighborhood that seemed to be right on the border line haha! We had to google if they're considered Canadian or American lol!! Turns out they're technically on the Canada side - but was an interesting rabbit hole to explore. Customs/immigration sits just beyond the arch and is well marked. The short lines moved fast but this was a weekday - based on my reading it can have some very long wait times so we got lucky. The park has lots of paved parking, shelters and seats, but I didn't see any bathrooms anywhere. You can access the park from either country and its entrances are well marked.

The site never run out of good restaurants,name it and they have it,no free parking in here washroom is availble before the entrance heading to the board walk,as usual the big white rock is always crowded specially with kids playing so taking a good picture can be challenging,cargo and passenger trains passes in here and that adds to the attractions,picnic is allowed not sure with bringing alcoholic beverages... who knows whats in there mugs Walking in the board walk is another experience,you can watch birds and sometimes fish by the water,ive been here so many times and i saw some people taking a swim. Waiting for the sunset is one most thing to do in here,you can also see some musicians playing by the park,and if you are doing a 10K steps or morethan daily well this is the best bet. A bit far from lower mainland,but accessible by bus.By the way restaurants here closes early so gezz that is one disadvantage, Sumtotal visiting this place is simply awesome

I answered everything honestly, and after what felt like forever (prob really just 5 mins), she finally let me through. It's understandable that the interrogation may be intended to make you feel like you're being treated like a criminal. It's for the safety of two nations. Thankfully they didn't put me through a deeper investigation. I was nervous, but I made it. Returning back to WA as a US citizen is a simpler matter. The only issue I encountered on my return trip was the unexplained traffic backup. We all sat in our motionless cars for about 20-30min, clueless why border patrol didn't seem to be processing people through. Finally, the lines start moving again and we made it back to USA. As symbolized by the Peace Arch, may CA and the US remain in peace for decades to come.

Now, what led to me getting there, that's another topic not for this post. LOL. Thanks fellas
