World Famous Gopher Hole Museum

This is the best museum of dead gophers I have ever been to! Totally worth a visit if you like to see dead rodents displayed in various diaramas. My personal favorite was the blacksmith gopher.

Finally had a chance to stop by this quirky little museum. We enjoyed checking out all the dioramas, and the volunteer was very informative and helpful. Love the map by the front door that shows where visitors are from! It's a fairly tiny building, but it's still a ton of fun and worth the visit.

Definitely stop in and check out this unique museum. Took us about 10 minutes in total to look through it and ask a few questions. Free admission, accepts donations.

This place was super cute. The admission is based on donation, so you pick how much to pay.

The museum is one room with various scenes of taxidermied gophers.

This is great for kids and adults alike.

The museum takes about 10-30 minutes to complete.

Definitely worth a detour when traveling through.

Small, but totally worth the trip. We laughed so hard.
I will be back.
Make sure to leave a donation, it would be sad to see this place close.

Was entertaining. Walked around town checking out fire hydrants before going to the Museum. Was a good family outing.

Thoroughly pleasant, quirky novelty stop-off point. The lady who was working was a great, friendly storyteller and kindly recommended some good places for lunch (which we followed up on and were not disappointed).

Great staff. Good place to stop on the way if you have a sense of humor. I enjoyed myself.

This is exactly what I thought it would be. A small museum with taxidermied gophers in dioramas. If you have any thought that you would probably like it, you will definitely 100% like it. It is small town nerd fun. I recommend it.

Well worth the drive to good old Torrington AB, truely an experience you will never find anywhere else. World class and world famous! Will visit for years to come!

Super super fun and funny, the dioramas are so cute and the volunteer at the counter was so passionate! Loved the gift shop

Very small, more of a community history portrayed by gopher diaramas. Diaramas were very well done. Gopher walk was mildly entertaining.

This is a truly unique experience. Make sure to ask lots of questions and visit all the fire hydrants.
Take pictures!

My friends and I came to check out the World Famous Gopher Hole museum and we’re not disappointed! Had some laughs and got to explore the town of Torrington! Shout out to the amazing Otto who came to open up the museum on a day it was closed and then showing us his lovely garden while we were out searching for the gopher hydrants. 10/10 recommend if your ever in the Torrington area

Pretty goofy and fun place for a quick visit. Entry is by donation. I really enjoyed the paintings and objects put into the backgrounds of the displays.

I am writing this review based on what our U11 hockey team had to say. IT WAS AWESOME! The kids absolutely loved the gopher displays and it seemed the most popular one was the gopher with guns. We would like to extend a huge thank you for the owner/staff opening the doors out of season so that everyone could enjoy this piece of Alberta history! We were there on the weekend of Feb 3,4,5th.
