This place is really just a closet. Has some dresses and memorabilia. Really is just kind of pathetic. But I'm not the fan club type so maybe it's just me. Also used as a community venue, but badly. More

Has Shania ever really been there? If so, does she really care about what is connected to her name? Will never go again, waste of time and money. Nothing to see. More

I thought that the gift shop was very well displayed, the staff friendly and they had a wide variety of gifts. I so enjoyed the display of clothing, plaques and reading all the interesting information about Shania. It makes me proud to say that I live in Timmins the home town of Shania Twain. Great Job on displaying and setting... More

An excellent place to host an elegant evening. Yhe music video room is superb. Will need changing as Shania becomes less famous. Currently have very up todate clothes form her on display More

The display is well done but won't take a lot of time to go through. The underground mining tour is worth the money More

The building itself is gorgeous, grand, yet earthy and beautiful. The gift shop at the entrance has something for everyone. It is a great place to host an event such as a gala or a wedding. They have a events sometimes such as a party at Canada Day that runs all day and features all kinds of activities. I enjoyed... More

What seemed like a great idea in 1999, looks like a great big flop these days. The gift shop is the biggest attraction for novelty Timmins gear alone. Avoid this trap as a tourist and pray the city makes better decisions in the future as a business operator. Conference Center? Give me a break. Cheers More

My fiance and I were visiting the Timmins area and decided to check out the Shania Twain Centre (as I'm a big fan!). Based on the displays in the lobby, we decided against spending the money to view the displays in an admission-only area. Perhaps we were too quick to judge, but it just looked really cheap and low-key. The... More
