Public Group Tour (Polar Bears!)

Have you been waiting for a good time to see our Expedition Alert: Stories from the High Arctic exhibit? Or have you ever wanted to take a tour with the Executive Director at the Quinte Museum of Natural History, and get the inside scoop? Well, now’s your chance! Join us on a journey through the polar desert alongside Executive Director Finnegan and experience touchable specimens we only bring out for tours as we celebrate the final day of Polar Bear Week, Saturday the 7th at 2pm!

Please Note: If you register for this group tour by purchasing a ticket on TicketTailor (link at the bottom of this page), you DO NOT need to purchase a museum admission ticket. This tour is included in our regular $8 admission price, so you do not need to purchase any additional tickets to enter the museum this day.
