Visiting The Exploration Place
Temporarily closed for renovation
All memberships have been placed on hold effective from our closure date on March 13, 2020.
We want to assure all our members that you will not lose any time on your membership.
All memberships that were active at the time of our closure will be extended. If you had more than six months of use left on your membership, you will receive a full 1-year extension upon our reopening in June. If you had less than six months of use, you will receive a 6-month extension.
Your membership at The Exploration Place supports us as a Northern BC non-profit organization and registered charity whose mission is to preserve our local history and foster lifelong learning in the areas of science, technology, heritage, and culture.
We’re going digital.
COMING SOON
We are excited to introduce digital membership cards as a benefit of membership! Digital membership cards can be downloaded and saved to your smartphone. Going digital means you never have to worry about forgetting your membership card, in addition to being more environmentally friendly.
