December 31 –12pm to 5 pm Cozy Game Day and a Movie –Clue PG
The last day of 2017, and you want to make sure it’s a day to remember. And what could be more memorable than playing classic holiday games in an award-winning architectural space surrounded by ice age critters? Come play a round or two of your favourite game (set up in stations around the Centre) and then sit back in our theatre and watch the Hollywood film version of the famous, who-done-it board game, Clue. Show times: 12:30 pm and 3:00 pm. (Admission by donation to the Whitehorse Food bank)
December 30 –9 am to 1 pm Classic Cartoons and Toaster Tarts
The long wait is over: it is time to go to Beringia Centre to check out the results of the Great stocking experiment. This meticulously designed and rigorously implemented scientific experiment was to put out stockings over Christmas and see if you get the same results at a museum as you do at home. It worked last year, but will it work again?
Looking for something fun to do over the long weekend with your family? Come celebrate the arrival of spring in the Yukon by taking part in some seasonal crafts and seed starting!
We’ve prepared two special crafts - a cute popsicle stick easter bunny and a clay pot that you can personalize with your own creative designs.
Once you've painted your pot, you'll have the chance to start the seeds of your choice. We've handpicked some unique seeds, including ones from plants that would have thrived during the Ice Age, as well as some fun options like "mammoth sunflowers"!
Imagine this: It's the last Ice Age. You and your family are travelling across a cold grassy landscape following a herd of mammoths. What does that sound like? Although we can't travel back in time to listen in, we do have the next best thing: a musical piece inspired by the story of Beringia.
