Whistler Museum

Such a fun little spot! Way more to see than I expected. Got to touch real beaver and black bear fur (so soft!), and the wolf, bird, and marmot displays were super cool. Just one small thing—the wolf is gorgeous, but it’s facing the corner instead of the walkway. Would’ve loved to see its face properly! Most of the exhibits are hands-on—rocks, animal bones, even a gondola you can hop into. For a small museum, there’s a surprising amount to explore. Staff were lovely, displays were fun, and it’s the perfect quick stop in Whistler. Left with a big smile!

I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff, Olympic representation, amazing people (particularly the women who were highlighted), snow sports in general and Natural History shared within such a small space. They have something for everyone. From an old gondola, passes through the years, a fridge full of retro stickers, funny outrageous photos, and colorful adventurous characters defying cultural norms (loved the stories of women!). This museum's history is mostly within a short period of time. (I'm sure this was taken seriously in how it was shared but) it was surprising how little First Nations People were mentioned. Definitely go to the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre as well. I recall this being the library when I used to live here in 2004-2005. 😆 Great use of space!

Great experience! Game a few times during my stay here, cool place to come and learn they have videos you can watch and it’s cool to see the history!

The museum was small, and smelled musky, but was pack with information regarding native species, first settlers and 2010 Winter Olympics. I spent 10 minutes in there.

The Whistler Museum is located next to the Whistler Library and is a great place to visit to learn about Whistler’s history as well as the 2010 Winter Olympics held there. You can touch a bear hide, look more closely at pinecones, and learn about what Whistler was like in the past. Accessible entrance ramp to enter. There is a small gift shop at the entrance. Suggested donation is $5.

Adorable creative local community museum, made with big Love and respect to the history of Whistler and people who built it. Strongly recommend.

This beautiful small museum is free to visit.

Such a cute little place to visit. The birds, wolf and first ever gondola were such a delight to see. Watching the video about how the peak to peak structures were made was also pretty fun! Would need a total of 45 mins to an hour Entry is by donation
