The St. Victor Petroglyphs Interpretative Centre, established and operated by the volunteer group The Friends of St. Victor Petroglyphs, is located at #9 Main Street in St. Victor. The Centre features 10 display panels prepared by an archaeologist and a professional museum consultant, which discuss and illustrate the archaeological and ethnological background of the more than 360 rock carvings found in St. Victor Petroglyphs Provincial Historic Park, located 2.4 km straight south of the Centre.

The Centre also features displays of archaeological artifacts and palaeontological specimens from the local area, and displays dealing with the arrival of the Metis in the area, a full-sized replica of a Red River Cart. The outside display wall is a collection of 6 photographs of Petroglyphs with an information panel included. A Dakota tipi is located beside the Centre. As well, a post and beam mud-plastered house owned by Mr. McGillis in the late 1880s is on display. The Centre has bathroom facilities, drinks, and a small souvenir shop.

Visitors arriving at the Park itself will encounter a fence that protects the site, with no unsupervised visitor access allowed, so visitors are strongly advised to visit via guided tour offered by the Friends. The Friends offer pre-booked guided group tours, with the best viewing time in the late afternoon until
sunset. All visitors are requested to exercise respect for this special and sacred site, and to not enter the fenced site on their own.

Both the Interpretative Centre (free entry) and the guided tours(Adult $10.00, Under 16 Free) are available seasonally. Check the Friends’ website (https://stvictorpetroglyphs.ca) for the times the Centre is open and when tours are available, and for booking tours (phone: 1-306-642-5386).
