Nigel Cole

Fantastic town with sightings of moose and caribou.

Elise Moore

Very good movie and excellent talk by park employee on the 4 historic cultures. Quite a few artifacts well displayed. Excellent small gift shop. Area is barren but the museum really is important to understand prehistory.

Jennifer Butt

Daniel Harris

Chris Yust

Beautiful!

steve thompson

Amazing experience. Saw the limestone barrens up close complete with Caribou just wandering along the ocean. …

Andy Dabydeen

Lots of history, a lighthouse, and some awesome scenery. Great hiking opportunities. It's too bad Parks Canada hasn't updated language. Eskimo and Indians are not acceptable to be used anymore. Here's hoping for change.

Check out the artifacts in the museum displays. Go for a stroll on the beach to see where fossils and ancient human history meet. Keep your eyes peeled for the local caribou herd.

Michael Valdivielso

Wonderful center. Canada seems to have this skill of putting a huge amount of information into tiny buildings. If you are interested in native history THIS is one of the sites you want to visit.

Interesting history of the area. The weather was quite poor so there was not much to do beyond the visitor center and driving past the lighthouse. There are walking trails when the weather is good.

Roy King

Jen Konkle

Mesmerizing landscape. There were caribou lounging by the water.

Richard Kim

Under renovation and terrible weather when we stopped here. Good place to stop and rest if driving a long distance. Friendly staff. Clean washrooms.

Renee Oliver

Very informative and eye opening

Davis D. Janowski

The site at Port au Choix feels like sacred ground, certainly well-trod, long-lived-upon ground. To the uneducated it would appear at first a verdant uninhabited and remote place (and that is in summer, let's not think about winter). Yet …

Shawn Weir

Personally, didn't find it interesting but other people there seemed to enjoy it.

Deborah Kuo

On the drive to Deer Lake from Qiurpon, we stopped in Port aux choix after others recommended we do so. It’s a sleepy little town with just a few things including this interpretation centre. I don’t know what’s taught in grade schools …

Jon Otto

Great national park building and museum with an excellent accounting of the early first peoples in the area with artifacts and history mixed in.

Loved the presentation here and tried seal meat for the first time. It was okay. Would be better on a salty cracker with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon...????

Mike Munro

A very interesting historical site.

Gregory Knott

Amazing site.

Janet Warren

This site presents stories and artifacts of several indigenous cultures who occupied the area thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans. It's also the site of many rare plants. All located on a unique and striking landscape.

Skylur And Darrell Harberts

Small museum of locally collected artifacts. The signs all say Visitor Center but admission is charged. It is not worth it when you can view similar items for free.
