Western Arctic Regional Visitor Centre

Great place to start your adventure in Inuvik. You will get a overview of the region. They even provide free tea/coffee and souvenir pins. The opening hours may vary though.

Great place to learn about Indigenous culture, and about this Arctic region. Free tea and coffee too provided, a small touch really appreciated !

This is a lovely place to stop. It's very clean, air conditioned, and has free coffee and tea. The ladies there explained the layout of the exhibit and welcomed questions. They provided materials with local amenities. The exhibits included life sized foxes, musk ox and caribou. This was a nice place to stop. It's a bit hard to see coming from the north.

We showed up just as the doors were unlocked and they had fresh coffee ready! The ladies that work here are very helpful and kind. They even helped us with some logistics in Tuktoyuktuk! The displays are well done and informative. AND they will give you a fuel coupon!! Be sure to stop in and say hi and check out the displays!

Interesting and comprehensive self-guided display. Warm and welcoming staff. Plenty of informational resources

A must visit if you are in Inuvik! They are open 7 days a week, but limited hours. Write outside the visitor center there is a craft shop where you can see sometimes local artists doing carving or selling them at a much more discounted price than you would get at the stores. It is actually quite peaceful to sit and have or lunch or picnic outside the visitor center, beautiful skies and view of a very colorful hospital. Inside, there is a lot of information about the history of people and the wildlife in the area.

It’s a free museum! So informative and cozy. You can get certificates here (till it runs out) It exhibits local arts, culture and wildlife.

The ladies at the visitor center, Amber, Nikkia and Jennifer were so welcoming. They were knowledgeable and friendly and helped make our experience in Inuvik a joy!
