Reviews of Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre (Museum)

Carol Ouellet

Very nice history of the Beringia bridge. They explain the changes, the animals and humans that went through back in the days. Lots of animals in display, some we would never expect! Tour available and a video to watch. Very complete info and we were happy to go.

Andrea Spallanzani

Informative little museum. Some interesting fossils from the ice age.

Allan Regehr

Excellent from all perspectives

Jason Hackett

A touch small but still worth the visit. Between the exhibits, mini theatre and outdoor demonstrations, a most enjoyable learning experience.

Arun R

Small but excellent museum!.. well kept.. and very knowledgeable staff! Can spend hours there

Radek Kobylka

Great museum showing off the history of beringia with some interesting exhibits and movies to enjoy.

Mark 3563

This is a great museum. It shows the timelines and glaciation records from the past ice age. Canada was covered in ice 15000 years ago. Thanks to climate change we have a mostly ice free country now. Misleading news organizations never talk about that

scott berry

Nice exhibits

Daniel Harris

AWESOME! Really excellent exhibits, made even better by lectures from staff and video presentations. You can buy a combo ticket for adjacent Yukon Transportation Museum. Highly recommended

(Translated) Great museum, where you can learn how animals from Asia migrated to North America through the white-collar continental bridge! Why Russia's Siberia and North America have the same animal species (Original) 非常棒的博物馆，在这里你可以了解到亚洲的动物是怎么样通过白领大陆桥迁徙到北美的！为什么俄罗斯西伯利亚地区和北美有相同的动物物种

Stefanie Mudry

All stuff I didn't know!

Peter Unger

Great for a small museum

Murray Lundberg

The Beringia Centre gives visitors a very easy to digest look at the early history of what is now the Yukon. The new (2020) film, "Beringia: Crossroads of the Continents" is quite exceptional and it alone makes a visit worthwhile if you haven't been for a while.

Paul Pleiss

The Berengia museum was the highlight of our trip to Whitehorse. Friendly and knowledgeable staff offer guided tours, with hands on interaction. Videos play throughout the day at their theater to expand your knowledgeable of Berengia. Did you know camels were native to the Americas!?

MATHIEU GUERY

(Translated) Superb. Small but very simple and very efficient. Everything about the history of BERINGIE (with a Quebec accent, it's a treat!). Go ahead and the ladies speak French and give you lots of information. (Original) Superbe. Petit mais très simple et très efficace. Tout sur l’histoire de la BERINGIE (avec l’accent québécois c’est un régal!). Allez-y et les dames parlent français et vous donnent plein d’informations.

Osiris Vazquez

Sorprendente, amazing, ???? and the staff are very professional

Allan Rory

5 stars for Beringian Lions!

Eric Stoltz

Must go! And must get David to give you a tour. It was so wonderful to get "up to speed" on the new information about how the Earth works. He was so much fun to learn new stuff from!

Cher Dignan

We lucked out and arrived at Beringia Interpretive Centre close to 4pm (when they were to close at 5pm). Chris, the Centre's manager, gave us a one-on-one introduction to the Centre and the topic of Beringia. He also provided details when we asked questions over the next hour. Chris is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent teacher. The Centre has great artifacts and explanations visually and in video format. I have never learned so much about our natural history in one hour! Brilliant and Thank you!

Milan Kubik

Excellent place to go while in Whitehorse, unfortunately it's closed due to covid.

Mark Algar

Unexpected depth of information, great interpretation and opportunity to learn. The different ages across the northwest came alive.

Dave Hardwick

Great little museum with lots of information about the ice age and migration of people and animals over the centuries going back 10000 years.

Dylan Woessner

Kinda small but very informative when it comes to ice age animals. Could use some updating (the video I watched was 30 years old).

Steve Bolton

Lots of fun especially for the younger ones

Nolan Zurek

Mammoth movie in the theatre was great.

Jack Art

I love natural history and so this place is a must. Saturday and Sunday only during October and only noon to 5pm. It will only take 45 minutes if you watch the history movie. It could take a couple of hours if you read everything. It explores a fascinating period of time when the Bering Strait was a land bridge ... hence the name Beringia.

The Chicken Line

Awesome place to visit

Ryan Szakonyi

An interesting Interpretive Centre. Very informative with interesting exhibits

Fab Delare

(Translated) Very well done and very interesting museum which teaches us a lot of things about the history of extinct animals. There are some very beautiful original and reconstructed skeletons. The museum is very clean and can be walked through quickly. Small bonus: it is next to the airport so you can also see planes taking off / landing (Original) Musée très bien fait et hyper intéressant qui nous apprend plein de choses sur l'histoire du les animaux disparus. Il y a de très beaux squelettes d’origine et reconstitués. Le musée est très propre et se parcourt rapidement.

Close to the airport and another great museum! Focused on the land bridge and the animals surrounding it! Did you know camels came from North America? I didn't...

Andrew Carroll

Lots of cool history to be seen and displays that were unbelievable. Who would have known that there were arctic camels and giant beavers

Jens-Uwe Walther

Great information and Service. We got useful documentation to master the Dempster Highway Up to Tuk

Sean Watt

What an amazing place

Jim Fellion

Sorry but I thought this was boring. Nice bathrooms though!

Beth Hurst

Excellent. For a small museum it's big on content, value and customer service. Meisha (our guide) was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place. We took advantage of the short guided tour/presentation, the movie in their theatre and the spear throwing demonstration later on. Wonderful place. Worth every cent and more of the entrance fee. Don't expect to be all day here but half a day with taking in all the listed programs and maybe taking a packed lunch to have on the desk, if not then you could be done in 2 - hrs.

david dibbs

Great place to take your kids often has events going on Easter egg hunts Etc they often give out free tickets as well I really like this place when I'm going around with my family sometimes my mom or my brother will take my kids there as well

Michael Tan

I had to wait 2 and half hours for my flight so i decided to check the museum (since it was walking distance from the airport) and it was an amazing experience. The museum was very well maintained and the replicas are incredible.

Robert B.

I went in knowing nothing about Beringia, I came out an expert. It was a treat for both myself and my family.

Alannah Pumphrey

The staff is super friendly and the place is clean with lots to see. Such an excellent place to hold a party for adults or kids! :)

ᑭᑌしᏆᏦᗴᑎ

Yukon Bearings interpretive cntre is a good place to visit in Whitehorse. It features dioramas of extinct ice age animals, complete skeletons of some of Beringia’s iconic animals, and a life-sized replica of the hotly debated Bluefish Caves archaeological site. Very informative . The place is dedicated to the presentation and preservation of the First Nations and scientific history of the vast sub-continent called Beringia.

Mike M

I really enjoyed this place and I learned so much. It was fascinating to learn about the ice bridge and the bones that got dredged up in the gold rush. I also enjoyed the First Nations story about the crow. The mammoth skeleton was so cool to see.

Bruno Polewski

Beautiful and well presented fascinating natural and human history.

Jo

(Translated) For the successful and very instructive exhibition you should bring enough time. The well-trained staff is also happy to help with any questions!

Fantastic museum about a not-frequently mentioned period of time.

Vikki McCoy

The folks were so well-informed about the prehistoric mammals on display. Our docent was so nice and answered all our questions. Do watch the films. Fun for all ages.

Nathan Lawko

Didn't expect to find this place but heard about it from the transport museum. Was very impressed with the quality of the exhibits and the information! Staff was very nice and helpful as well, more than willing to answer any questions you may have. Good place to bring kids as well; they had a little kids station that looked fun. Great place to learn about the prehistoric era, the Bering straight land bridge, and the climate cycles!

Wonderful museum (not exactly the right term) with lots of info about the ancient land bridge between Asia and North America. There are 2 movies offered on a rotating basis - we watched the longer one and learned a lot. Then we walked around, reading the displays, talking to the staff (VERY knowledgeable), ... Just go!

Great place to visit

Randy Park

Unique natural history is on display here. Well worth seeing.

Laura Yvonne Pelletier

For a relatively small building, they have as interesting a venue as a much larger museum! The two films are very informative, as are the exhibits. The fossil collection, full sized skeletons and dioramas will please children as well as we adults. Highly recommended!!

Coleman shepherd

interesting and enjoyable for the whole family

Daanyal Siddiqui

Extremely small museum and not worth the ticket

Karen Cooper

Not huge, but what they have is excellent. Also great short film to explain the land bridge.

Alain Cadieux

(Translated) Excellent !! (Original) Excellent !!

S P

Very interesting, take the free tour for best information. Fun for adults and children.

Bethany Jorgenson

This is one of the best museums I have visited with kids. They have a children's corner with more activities than some children's museums: toy animals, puppets, a game to match pelts/paw prints with the animal, computer games specific to Beringia animals, giant floor puzzle and more. Additionally, the docent gave my six year old and my eleven year old age appropriate scavenger hunts that helped them explore the museum. The tour for adults and older kids was well thought out and delivered in an engaging and interesting way. They even got to throw spears at the end. Definitely worth a visit!

Jon Samuelson

Free on Yukon Day! Lots of exhibits to look at. Interactive demo with Atlatl (spear thrower) in the afternoon, that was fun for all, 3 year old kids up to grand parents. Short documentaries were also interesting, with a large theatre.

D BAXTER

Nice folks ????

Take time to watch the videos and listen to the the park rangers lectures, very well done, lots of information and not repetitive! The spear throwing lesson out back a fun bonus.

Eleanor Scott

This small meseum is worth a look through. The displays are informative and accessible. The main hall features a massive Woolly mammoth skeleton which is remarkable to see in person. The theater shows a 17 min video about the lost continent of Beringia which is worth a watch. The smaller back room features a preserved hide of the long extinct Yukon horse.

John Mayes

Good displays of Mammoths

Roseanna Leonatd

Great field trip for kids they love it

Brooklyn Barber

Really great exhibits and documentaries for a very reasonable price. Loved the megafauna skeletons, the preserved Yukon horse hide and First Nations creation stories.
