Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre

I visited the Centre early Friday morning when I had some free time. I spent about an hour in total walking through. I must say it's an well managed and impressive museum particularly for being in such a remote area and being free. I've been to other regional museums which are not nearly as well organize and charge significant amounts to visit. Highly recommend visiting if you come to Yellowknife.

For a free museum, it was lovely and had some very interesting exhibits. The RCMP special constable exhibit was my favourite, it showcased a very interesting history of the RCMP. The kids area was nice as well, with some air hockey, animal puppets, and a small cabin for kids to play in. Definitely recommend coming here on a visit to Yellowknife.

We visited the Heritage Center the other day and had a wonderful time learning about the history of the First Nation people, the animals as well as the people who came to mine and trap in the area. The displays were very well done with just the right amount of information. It was amazing that such a wonderful center was free.

It is free and close to the City Hall and Legislative Building. Very walkable even in the winter. Interesting content and artifacts that help us understand the NWT. The hockey exhibit has some fun and interactive games and activities that are worth checking out!

Amazing little museum with an excellent taxidermy collection. The exhibits were well thought out and reflected history in such a positive way.

A very quiet museum with not many people around, but it’s clean and tidy. There’s no entrance fee, but there’s a donation box at the entrance. I saw a lot of NWT’s history and unique species here. The visit doesn’t take too long, but there are quite a few interesting little things to see.

Really enjoyed this museum. The animal exhibits and art were really impressive. (Some of the videos were a little dated, but I loved how much was from local Indigenous experts) There was some beautiful art and history mixed. I especially liked the Moose Boat.

Nice and informative museum, free entrance. They keep the donation box hidden, so make sure you ask for it if you're feeling generous:)
