]The Canadian Wildlife Museum is located in the Okanagan valley, just minutes north of the city of Vernon , just off Highway 97 in the heart of spectacular south central British Columbia, Canada. We are an outstanding kid friendly Tourist Attraction and likely the best Taxidermy Museum you will ever visit. If you want to see Canadian Wildlife in awesome dioramas, a visit here is a must. Nowhere in Canada will you find a more outstanding selection of mounted Canadian birds and animals. This is a place where Nature comes alive, to be shared with all who have an interest in the beauty of Wildlife and Nature. A visit here is something that the entire family can enjoy, and will never forget. The excellence in taxidermy workmanship shows itself in the hundreds of outstanding Canadian Wildlife displays that you will view in the Museum. This amazing Taxidermy Museum is two floors with about 4,000 square feet of wildlife displays. There are over 350 mounted specimens including over 120 Canadian birds of prey as well as many other Canadian birds, and over 115 different species of Canadian wildlife, including most of the different species of Canadian animals. There is also a large butterfly and moth collection. We are without question, one of the top tourist attractions in Vernon B.C. We are an amazing family friendly Tourist Attraction that is a must see if you are visiting in the Okanagan Valley.

We also feature the “Canadian Wildlife Gift Shop”, with a huge selection of unique, Canadian Wildlife and Nature related novelties, souvenirs and gifts for sale. We have a large selection of clothing, jewelry, rocks, carvings, games, puzzles, art cards, note books, calendars, journals, kitchen ware, mugs, plush stuffies, hats, toques, books, ornaments, slingshots, antlers, crafts, and much, much more for sale. In the gift shop we have tried to stock things related to Canada, Wildlife and Nature. We are catering to B.C. Tourism but we have lots of things for local shoppers as well. If you are looking for Wildlife related gifts, you need to come for a visit. The Museum and Gift Shop are a great place to visit, relax and enjoy the outstanding beauties of Canadian Wildlife and Nature, in air conditioned comfort. We also have frozen ice cream novelties, cold drinks and snacks available. If you are looking for thins to do in Vernon on a rainy day or trying to avoid the summer heat, come and check out our Museum. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
