Are you a Britannia Beach Resident?

Over the years, we have offered complimentary admission to Britannia Beach residents as a token of our appreciation for your support and a way to say thank you as we continue to blow the horn daily! With the recent growth of the community, we have found it necessary to make some adjustments.  

Effective March 1, 2024 we will be implementing the following changes; 

  • Britannia Beach residents, after paying a one-time daily admission, will receive an annual pass to the museum. 
  • Britannia Beach residents will pay 50% admission to attend events (Some exceptions may apply)  

    Blackout dates will apply. Proof of residency must be shown at admission.

Doggy Daycare

To ensure the safety of all animals, visitors, and our employees, we only allow accredited guide and service dogs - as defined by the BC Government- to fully explore on-site with their handler. Dogs must be leashed with a short, non-retractable leash. Therapy and emotional support animals are not permitted under these guidelines.

Upon arrival, BC residents must provide our Admissions team with their Guide Dog and Service Dog Certificate.

Please note that there are loud noises in the underground and BOOM! show. When possible, Britannia Mine Museum will provide specialty dog hearing protection.

For all other furry friends there are lots of options for day care for your dog in Squamish. Give your dog a fun day out while you visit the Britannia Mine Museum!

Please do not leave your dog in a hot car!
