The Champney’s West Heritage Group is excited about welcoming new and returning visitors to our beautiful community!

The Champney’s West Aquarium opened June 22nd and will be open until Sunday, September 1, 2024. For the remainder of the season our hours of operation are: Wednesday to Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Get your family and friends together and join us for an enjoyable experience and a chance to see and learn about the amazing marine animals that live in our ocean!

The Ella Freeman Heritage House Museum is a little gem (near the top of Jack’s Hill as you’re coming into Champney’s West) with interesting photos and artifacts providing a glimpse of the past and life in a small Newfoundland outport community.

And the breathtaking views enjoyed while on our beautiful Fox Island Trail are not to be missed!
