Wonderful! Catching it at the end of the season. Visitor's center closed yesterday. We had the place to ourselves and very much enjoyed it. Kudos to the park agents who left a wheelchair in the washrooms, otherwise I would not have been able to see as much as we did. I certainly appreciated it.

It was neat to see...covid protocols in place, the experience was what you made of it. An incredibly long drive. Staff were very informative.

Hugely significant site. Anyone visiting Newfoundland should make a point of visiting here because of the historic significance of the "closing of the circle" by the meeting of humans who left Africa 100,000 years or so ago heading west finally circling the earth to meet those heading east. The question raised is, why did the circle break again, for nearly 500 years more? A beautiful location with this significance well displayed in the Visitor Center and at the sculpture with its audio messages from the sculpture team and the First Nations representative. The bookstore is one of the few sources for books about the excavations, and includes a newer book on the more recent excavations by Parks Canada. The site can be readily visited by thise who are disabled and have difficulty with stairs - that access point and parking area for the settlement site needs to be better publicized at the Visitor Center.
