Reviews of Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre (Translator)

François-Michel Brière

Must visit to pay your respect to the original owners of the land. Too bad I could not find a guide...

Eduardo Chávez

(Translated) It is a place which I visited during the Christmas market with articles from completely organic and artisanal producers in the area. There were things from food like maple candy, cookies or popcorn of different flavors to handmade crafts such as bags, bracelets or clothing as well as jewelry and art pieces such as cards. It is actually a community center for local people that serves to create the social fabric where people know the people around them and can work together for their community. (Original) Es un lugar el cuál visité durante el mercado de Navidad con artículos de productores del área completamente orgánicos y artesanales. Había cosas desde comida como dulce de maple, galletas o palomitas de maíz de distintos sabores hasta artesanías hechas a mano como bolsas pulseras o ropa así como joyería y piezas de arte como tarjetas. En realidad es un centro comunitario para la gente de la localidad que sirve para crear el tejido social donde las personas conocen a la gente que los rodea y pueden trabajar de manera conjunta para su comunidad.

(Translated) Magnificent building, several spaces to visit with some native objects on display. Staff smiling and very welcoming. (Original) Bâtiment magnifique, plusieurs espaces en visite libre avec quelques objets autochtones en exposition. Personnel souriant et très accueillant.

Darlene Flynn

It's a beautiful building with information and history about First Nations people

Arnaud Guanco

Well designed and maintained cultural centre.

Tran Forsythe

Caveat: My rating is purely for the museum aspect of the complex. This is actually part museum, part conference center, part community center. (I think?) The exhibits are well put together, and do shine a different light upon history - which is excellently done. What I found disappointing was that there was basically one medium-length hallway of good exhibits, and then a handful of small displays of artifacts and information (text & pictures) in the lobby. It's definitely worth a visit, but please don't expect to spend more than a couple-few hours there at most.

Jonathan Yantho

Went to the cranberry crafts festival, held here every year. A great building, with some nice First Nations art on display. Lots of parking available, and a small cafeteria-style restaurant is inside.

Tom Jansen

Beautiful place

George Davidson

Amazing place

Heather

Wanted more time to explore and will be making a return trip next summer. Friendly staff, wonderful experiences. Would recommend everyone take the time and spend the week, for the cultural exposure alone. Then there is all that marvelous outdoor activities, with history galore!

Dabie Muse

Nice place for tourists to enjoy

Manon Fontaine

Great for events they did a great job in integrating cultural artefacts and history in the center

Frédéric-François Desmarais

A fantastic, beautiful and educational cultural centre. A must stop when visiting Whitehorse!

C lewis

Awesome cake and hospitality service

kealan campbell

Good venue for events

Gabriel Alden Hull

See the results of the modern reconciliation process and self government. Guided tours invite visitors into a conversation about how we can recognize the hurts of the past (as well as present issues such as missing and murdered indigenous women and girls) and move forward together. Inspiring! It is great to see indigenous youth leading the way!

Goher Hafeez

Loved that as it had the perfect ambience to hold meetings and presentations.

Chris Chen

Right in the heart of downtown Whitehorse! The center is a hub of cultural and community activities, and an easy walk from anywhere in downtown Whitehorse.

Blair Rombough

Richard Forde-Johnston

Wow..excellent and interesting cultural heritage centre..very educational..loved the wolf head-dress!

Lorne Beck

We took a free tour under official Canadian Youth Council Member Ashley Cummings. She was so lovely and is deeply connected to the indigenous people of Canada. She explained to us about how they survived. Sustainable fur trapping. And the importance of the first nations and idgenious tribes becoming self governing, its importance as well as the gloomy indian act. Thanks Kwanlin Dun for your important work in the yukon, your continued effort and Ashley for her amazing contributions. We will follow you on the youth council :)

We visited on a quiet day but we enjoyed the information available at the time. We also saw photos of events in the past and I'm sure if we were in town during these events it would have been much more enjoyable. Beautiful building.

I came to the winter market here which was indoor, warm and had controlled entry due to COVID-19. I felt really comfortable and at ease here. They have really nice and clean washrooms and hand sanitizers ready for use anytime. The items they sell were local produced honey, handicrafts, art etc. It's a pretty nice place to shop and support local businesses especially during such difficult times. Apparently this is a yearly affair so stay tuned during each Christmas period and it lasts for 12 days if I didn't remember wrongly. Some of the items are really popular and run out really fast so if you see something you like, don't hesitate. All in all the place is clean, staff really friendly and not rude. Some places have staff who hate their job absolutely and don't bother to make life for visitors. When you enter, the staff do greet you and check that you put on your masks properly (which is really important to me during such a difficult and dangerous pandemic period). Not totally my kind of place to visit, but all in all the experience is really good, 4 stars is well deserved.

Janine Reid

Gorgeous venue rich with local cultural significance, displaying art and with extensive interpretive services. Beautiful layout, and high quality AV services.

Great contemporary facility

Jen Parent

Came here as a visitor just to have a look. Ended up getting a guided tour from a lovely individual who graciously shared her culture and the history of her people and the land. Also had some very yummy fresh bannock I wish I had come here earlier during my trip to Whitehorse, instead of on the last day when we were in a rush to leave. Absolutely loved the experience!

M. Pennycook

A really beautiful building. awesome place for conventions and meetings. The main hall is massive. Lots of historical memorabilia and art work inside to walk around, read and view. Absolutely Worth a visit, for sure. Also check out the library right beside it also a great place to learn more about yukon history.

Very nice place good info good people

Elsie Bagan

Over crowded with not enough space. Broken into smaller rooms that didn't show the vendors adequateLy and allowed only a few shoppers in at a time. A poor choice, craft shows areore successful held on a large facility. Let's choose a .ore appropriate sitr!

Manuel Antonio

Was here for the fire lighting ceremony on the first day of summer. Awesome event.

Annette Peters

Beautiful culture building

Amanda C

Great place to read up on history and see Indigenous art and clothing.

Jennifer McGowan

Beautiful

Bubbles Toft

Not what I expected. I thought it would have more history, like a museum, it's more like a meeting place you can book out with groovy memorabilia from the past- not taking away from the history or displays there is just thought there'd be more because the building is called a cultural centre is all. Worth a gander though.

Paulette Mary ROY

Selkirk Elementary French Immersion nailed it no words can describe it.

keith johnson

Kwanlin dun cultural center is first nation owned and operated. Conventions, conferences, gatherings of all sorts. They provide catering. Situated on the banks of the Yukon River in downtown Whitehorse, Yukon.
