Autumn (mid-August to October) and winter (November to April) are the best times to watch the aurora in Yellowknife. The temperature is more comfortable at night in autumn, so there is no need to wear heavy equipment; in winter, the nights are longer, and the chance of viewing the aurora is greatly increased.

What are the must-see attractions?

Great Slave Lake, Aurora Village and Madeleine Lake are must-see attractions for aurora viewing in Yellowknife. Great Slave Lake can perfectly reflect the aurora. Aurora Village provides traditional tents and professional tour guides. Madeline Lake has a quiet environment, suitable for quietly watching the dancing aurora.
