Looking for something different to do?? It does not get much more different than The World Famous Gopher Hole Museum!! Affordable fun for all!
Hibernating for the winter...please call to make arrangements for showings 403 631-2133.
Since 1996 Clem T. Gopher, his best girl Ellie-May and their kin have been welcoming groups of visitors, large and small, from around the world to 208 First Street, Torrington for an insiders look of the den.
A giant statue of Clem (he is such a narcissist) stands at the entrance of town...just to let you know you have the right place. Our displays demonstrate some of the day to day activities in and around our little hamlet. We have also included a walking tour of some or our favorite family members immortalized on the hamlets fire hydrants. Perhaps you will find some special interest in the scrapbook of letters from our friends, The Kennedy's and Peta, among others.
Due to hibernation, the museum is seasonal. However, we have some humans that would happily open up shop for you with only a phone call. So don't let the snow stop you...come on down and visit a spell!!
Nestled between the exciting cities of Calgary and Edmonton, with majestic Banff to our West, the Royal Tyrell Dinosaur Museum and the Hoodoos to our East, Torrington is the idyllic prairie landscape where you can stretch your legs and smell the fresh, country air. So what's stopping you? Gopher it!!
Regular Hours are June 1-Sept30 10am-5pm. Off season we are happy to open for you by appointment.
