Celebrate your event in the most unique rental venue in the North.
Facility Rentals
Make your event one of a kind
Customize your own event in the midst of Northern BC’s largest museum and only science centre.
From business meetings to receptions and parties, The Exploration Place is a spectacular venue for your event. Surrounded by our region’s history, dinosaurs, and thousands of plants, including our massive living wall, you won’t find anywhere else that makes an impression quite like we do.
Our own Origins Kitchen will provide you with delicious, locally-sourced catering. We are also a licensed facility and are happy to provide liquor service for your event.
Our experienced team will devote themselves to making sure you and your guests have an experience to remember. Your rental makes a difference – by renting our facility, you are supporting a Northern BC non-profit organization and registered Canadian charity.
