From the moment you enter the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre you are swept up in a glimpse into First Nations Culture. The greeting, the song & dance 'ice breaker', the informative film and the opportunity to take away a traditional souvenier that you make..it all adds up to an engaging, educational and memorable visit. Make sure you go on the... More

Overlooking Lost Lake, and the mountains, the style of this beautiful building is a refreshing change from the ersatz alpine kitsch so prevalent in the rest of Whistler. What goes on inside is equally riveting. We loved the movie, the tour by David and the displays of the canoes.My goodness but we learned a lot! The culture of the Squamish... More

Was great to get an insight into the local indigenous culture - the tour guide was great in telling the story of her people. Both personal and epic, it's a small but powerful collection of stories, pictures, artefacts. Lovely little cafe too. More

If you have ever seen any native artifacts in any other museum, ever, dont bother going here. Thank god we got 50% off because we showed up 1 hr before closing. We were worried we would not have enough time to see everything....25 minutes later we were out the door and dissapointed. More
