For the first eight months of operation, the Yellowknife Historical Museum has been admission by donation. We have found that moving to a paid admission model is important for the Museum's ability to become a long-term staple of the community.
We thank the Yellowknifers, as well as those who have come from as far as Finland, Columbia, and Japan to visit us, for their donations so far!
What will admissions look like? Well, as of December 1st, 2024, Museum admission will be:
Admission ..................$10/Person
FREE for ..................... Children/Teens 18 and Under
FREE for ..................... Seniors (65+)
FREE for ..................... YHS Members
