We visited the Heritage Centre the day we were leaving. If we could do it all over again I'd go at the start. Very interesting and informative and great way to better appreciate Yellowknife, it's history and people. Not a great deal of interactive displays or talks, but items on display were of great significance and importance. Highly recommend any... More

Museum is well laid out with wheelchair access. Has some nice taxidermy displays of northern animals, and displays that explain the history of the North inhabitants.

Some exhibits weren't arranged as well as they could, but there were some really interesting artifacts, animals, mementos, etc.
