The town was about as friendly and helpful as one could possibly imagine. Along with our wildlife tour and night to see the northern lights, it was fun to frequent the restaurants (even ate at the hospital once and the food was great!). We also visited a robust community center and played air hockey, bowled and could have done even more of the activities if we had the time! Everyone we encountered was just delightful and helpful!

What a treasure of a town on the edge of the boreal forest and the Canadian Tundra. We received a warm welcome from natives and imports who all worked together to make our stay memorable. This is the perfect adventure for solo female travellers - a very small and safe town with unique sights and adventures. With weather appropriate clothing you can be out and about every day. Dress in layers and be prepared for heat, or cold winds, rain or sun - all in one day!! The food at most of the restaurants exceeded our expectations. We had dinner at a different place for days....special shout out to the Tundra Pub!

Loved the Northern Lights and the Churchill murals on buildings all over town.
Tours we did take were excellent and well described.
We were there in the wrong season for polar bears, Northern Lights were excellent.
Take the time to visit the museums in town, they show great history of Churchill.
Go for a walk around town. Be prepared for a small town atmosphere and very friendly people.

We went to see the polar bears (which we saw!) and the northern lights (which we didn't see). We did a full day polar bear tour (not on a tundra buggy) and a half day City tour. We enjoyed both but really appreciated the City tour which taught us more about the community (very small, very north, very cold, very windy). We also visited the eskimo museum (which we had more time there) and walked around and got pictures of most of the murals. There is an ATM in town and the post office will give you an (ink) stamp in your passport. We bought some locally made jam - both with berries we had never heard of before. A really wonderful, memory making trip!) We'd love to return to see the beluga whales.

The people of Churchill are what make this town amazing.
The people of Churchill are what make this town amazing. I thought it would be to see the polar bears or northern lights. But getting to know the people made the trip. We went on 3 tours. Blue Sky Sled & Bed, and a couple other Polar Bear tours. They were all amazing. Great guides. We also visited the Anglican Church for Sunday service. They were very welcoming and we got to meet some more locals. This was definitely a bucket list trip. And it was beyond my wildest expectations.

There are a lot of options for tours but I have to say the one we picked: Sub Artic Tour - for a full day was worth the price. We got picked up at the house we rented, had a van for us only (we were a 4 persons group). The guide, being a local, showed us a lot of areas, answered all our questions and agreed to return to some spots we really liked. His explanation's were great and full of history of the region and we could discussed the local cultures and customs. As outsiders it was great to learn so much.
When we arrived, the train was early and we had no place to go. We met someone from the hospital and found out that the cafeteria at the hospital was open early and let us have a great breakfast (they have hot and cold options) for a reasonable price.
It is easy to go for walk around town ... you just have to make sure to be back to your accommodations by 10pm curfew due to the polar bears.
We you come in the fall season like us, make sure to bring multiple layers of clothing. We did and appreciated being able to add or remove layers when needed.
When we left on the last day, we had super at the Reef Coffee Shop (at the Churchill Seaport Hotel). The choices of food was great and the prices were reasonable.. the food was excellent and the Sweet Potatoes fries were the best I had in a long time. The bison burger was also really good. Would recommend this place without hesitation.

Sarah and Taylor were great hosts, very nice and very welcoming! The place was clean ad quiet which I really appreciated. There is a fully equipped kitchen if you need to cook. Taylor and Sarah are really helpful and I was able to rent their Jeep for one day. For anyone going to Churchill, I would definitely recommend staying there.

This is a warm and comfortable residence in Churchill, the capital of the White Bears. It feels convenient and safe, and we are very grateful for the host's hospitality.
