Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre

Cultural Centre

The state-of-the-art interpretive centre is an architectural marvel sensitively constructed into a hillside. Extensive indoor and outdoor exhibit galleries create a fun, interactive learning environment with hands-on displays, education stations and two multi-media theatre experiences.

A family oriented cultural experience focusing on the rich, living culture of the Okanagan First Nations and the unique flora and fauna of their traditional territory’s desert habitat. The 22-hectare site features cultural exhibits, walking trails, outdoor sculptures and hands-on interactive displays. Highlights include a reconstructed Aboriginal village, two theatre experiences and “Critter’s Corner” animal exhibits.
