Our tours are led by guides with extensive knowledge and experience of the fauna of the Northwest Territories who can provide a personalized experience and answer any questions the guests might have.

Guided Tours include a detailed walkthrough of the gallery with one of our guides, as well as a visit to the taxidermy workshop for an in-depth explanation of the taxidermy process and an opportunity to touch and handle a variety of the furs featured in the gallery.
