“Awesome small town museum”

Reviewed March 30, 2012

What a great small town museum. Professionally owned and operated by a young local couple, their passion for wildlife education is wonderful. I love traveling in rural areas and have seen lots of small town museums and heritage sites, this is one of the best.You discover the typical wildlife in Gros Morne National Park, can enjoy a 'wheres Waldo' exhibit...

“Great Place”

Reviewed September 13, 2011

person found this review helpful

The wildlife in their natural habitat is great here. The owner does the taxidermy himself and his wife took all of the background pictures in Gros Morne. Great places to go and see all the local wildlife and learn about them. The gift shop is great as well, a little pricy but great products. More

“Great experience - one of the best nature displays I have ever seen anywhere, it is not to be missed.”

Reviewed September 22, 2010

person found this review helpful

This is an incredibly good display showing animals in their natural habitat and looking natural. The young owners have done all the work themselves from road kill or buying a polar bear skin and reconstructing etc.. This was one of the highlights of my recent trip to Newfoundland. Don't miss it.

This is truly an amazing place to visit if you're in Rocky Harbour. The life-like scenarios that over 100 animals are set in is visually interesting, educational, and a testament to the passion the owners have for what they do. If you think Taxidermy isn't your thing, you just might be surprised when you come up close with a life-size... More
