★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A STUNNING display of Canadian wildlife! It's AWESOME!! The collection is LARGE and the animals are arranged to show their likely interaction in the wild. We took grandparents, parents and 5x kiddos along for an educational BIRTHDAY PARTY there and the kids (3-10yrs) LOVED IT!!
There's a lot to take in, its worth a couple of visits to appreciate it all.
Hey!...local schools - This museum would make for an AMAZING field trip for your students!!
Owners are awesome! Ken's skill/craftsmanship will leave you staggered wondering....how did he do that?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a great museum with so friendly staff! This visit literally made my day. It wasn't even opened, but they allowed me to visit them anyway! For me, a girl from Europe to see all of this was truly unforgettable experience.
Thanks again, I appreciate your work!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We really enjoyed our visit - we happened to stop in during our road trip, just to see the gift shop initially, then we became quite intrigued by the museum after seeing some of the owners work. Great, life-like display in the museum, very informative and full of all the Canadian wildlife you can imagine! Recommend for young and old. Only $12 adult entry- good value.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such a lovely place to visit for kids and adults alike! We have been twice and cannot wait to go again!!! We absolutely love the layout of the dioramas with the easy to read descriptions, it makes my 8 year old feel like a proper tour guide haha. This would be an amazing frield trip for kids of all ages! The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and on top of covid protocols. The gift shop is well organized and fairly priced. 10/10 would recommend to everyone I know (and I have)!!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was blown away by this place! Maybe I just had low expectations or something but once I was inside, I was awed by the incredible craftsmanship and sheer number of beautiful mounts that are displayed. There is actually 2 full floors of displays. Many are in a hyper-realistic action mode, some where the predator is magically poised in mid-air depicting the split second before the prey is dispatched. Nothing gory or explicit, just incredible and breathtaking raw nature. They actually have 2 full-mount Polar Bears and the most glorious full body bull elk I have ever seen, with 8x7 antlers. That’s world class!
The Royal BC Museum in Victoria should take note; this is the taxidermist you should have used to show off Canadian wildlife to the rest of the world.
I’m so glad I live in the Okanagan so I can visit often and bring visitors here.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My son and I visited this museum and I have to say we were very impressed. Very professionally done, not just with regards to the taxidermy but the actual display areas which are very authentic and true to life. It's amazing that this is the work of one man over almost 30 years and what a great job he did with it.
We took the time to talk to the owner of this location and it was well worth it. Got the background to all his work and efforts.
Loved the writeups and explanations for the displays. Really cannot recommend this place enough. HIGHLY worth the visit and even the gift shop is amazing to see!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome hidden gem! This is museum is a privately curated collection of taxidermy of over 30 years! The actual taxidermy was so lifelike and full of energy! All sorts of signs explaining everything and very clean and great flow. Would absolutely return!
