Davis Hills

It was a great stop on are way back to the lower 48.

Marquis Knight

This centre gave us an insight into the making of the Northern Lights. I'd love to see this show again and again! Spectacular views in the Yukon.

(Translated) Learn about the aurora borealis and see a circular cinema of the aurora borealis. It makes the mouth water. (Original) Apprendre sur les aurores boréales et voir sur un cinéma circulaire des aurores boréales. Ça met l’eau à la bouche.

Mark Algar

Details on Aurora Borealis, how it forms, and impact. Two very well done movies, with gift shop in vestibule

Mary Wan

Well worth to visit and watch the shows to understand the beautiful and amazing northern lights

allen Lohner

Great show

Randy J

Definitely a tourist attraction. No matter where you sat, viewing the whole ceiling was impossible.

Ivory Cameron

Cool place to see if you are in the area

Becci CpModem

Don't miss this place if you have a couple of hours to spend.

Elaine Fontes

Worth a look...especially if you aren't going to wait for winter

Chris Filipowicz

Really enjoy the show

(Translated) Probably, I visited on the return trip and was conquered by nature. It is worth recommending to you. (Original) 大概，我是回程参观的，很被大自然所征服。值得向你推荐。

Beth Hurst

Really disappointed. From everything I had been reading I though that this place would have offered more than the film. I thought it would be full of info but it wasn't. Staff very quiet and timid. Could make so much more of this place given the admission charged. However saying all that the film was good and the cinema was comfy with great sound.

Check it out. You can go and they will play movie just for you.

Ulrich Goetz

(Translated) Two well-made, interesting films about the solar flares and the northern lights, of course, only in English. Not more. Small souvenir shop. (Original) Zwei gut gemachte, interessante Filme über die Sonneneruptionen und das Nordlicht natürlich nur in englisch. Mehr nicht. Kleiner Andenkenshop.

Jeff Eckstein

Bit of a joke. The museum is nothing. One jumpsuit from our Canadian astronaut, and a little blurb about the Canadian Arm. Your 7 year old could print it out from the Web. The movies in the planetarium style seating were OK. But still.....

Very cool and informative, not what I was expecting it was much better.

Bonnie Puntasecca

This place was closed/only open seasonally. I could not find an opening date on the website and there was no recording when I called the phone number.

Aaron Gonzalez

Nice place

Mark Hurst

Neat to see but doesn't match the marketing.

doug richards

Impressive show, good staff

Bernel Sawyer

Super interesting show. Worth every penny.

Lineta Grimes

Very neat show

Julee Mele

Thought the shows were going to be in the Omni theater, but they only used a rectangular size ( like a bigger theatre)

Mary-lou Jylha

Very good host, great show, well worth checking it out, surprised to enjoy such a great experience in such a small town. Thank-you.

James Thomas

Interesting display

Barbara Durst

Felt it to be very informative. Being I'm not from the area I would have loved a DVD of these two showings to share with my son at home (whose big on outer space and a chemist by trade).

Daniela Rank

Nice attraction in Watson Lake. Interesting show.

Becky Buffaloe

Detailed explanation of the Northern Lights was easy to understand. Great presentation.

KimJP

Really enjoyed the shows, nice family outing.

Laura Yvonne Pelletier

You can spend $6 for a cup of coffee and a slice of pie...or for $3 more get an amazing hour long production. Two different shows and really well done!! Highly recommend.

Brian Uphill

If you are in Watson Lake,do not miss going to visit it .

A unique facility built in 1996 to feature the amazing phenomena known as the 'Northern Lights' or 'Aurora borealis', the Northern Lights Centre boasts state-of-the-art panoramic video and surround-sound systems. The Northern Lights Centre also incorporates interactive displays that explain the science and folklore of the Northern Lights with the latest information about the Canadian space program. Canadian rocket technology played an important part in early Northern Lights research. The spectacular dancing Northern Lights are showcased in Yukon's Northern Lights, a video that is broadcast in the NLC's domed 100-seat theatre daily throughout the summer season. During the winter season, nature puts on frequent displays of colorful lights outdoors so the Northern Lights Centre is used for community events, space science education, and movies.

(Translated) Excellent movie. (Original) Excellent film.

Alida Sordahl

A great show. Well worth stopping and seeing

Volle Kanne

(Translated) Excellent Aurora Borealis (aurora) explanatory films. 360 degree view in a kind of planetarium. Highly recommended. (Original) Hervorragende, die Aurora Borealis (Polarlicht) erklärende Filme. 360 Grad-Sicht in einer Art Planetarium. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Brian Clifford

Very informative

Joel Smith

The movies were in interesting but there's not much of a museum.

Peg Jensen

We didn't think this was worth the admission charged. The Northern Lights are so fascinating we thought this would be good. It did not offer anything more than the limited knowledge we already have...
