Plan your visit

Some Parks Canada places have begun a safe, gradual reopening of some outdoor areas and services, including camping. Visitors are encouraged to plan ahead and be well-prepared for their visit. Details here.

Bonavista, Newfoundland and Labrador, is approximately 300 kilometres (200 miles) – a 3.5 hour drive - from the provincial capital of St. John's.

The Ryan Premises exhibits and displays are open June 1 to early September though it is possible to stroll the grounds year round. Plan at least a half day to visit the exhibits and take part in hands-on demonstrations, leaving extra time to stroll the town, harbour and wharf.
