Amenities

There are no admission fees, however, we encourage donations to help us improve and grow – Gift Aid forms are available for UK visitors. The building has public toilets, including accessible, and lifts to each floor if required, with ramps also providing access around the building. Free WiFi is provided for visitors as part of Cafe North.

Upstairs, North Coast Visitor Centre is also home to an exhibition gallery and theatre, both playing host to a rolling program of exhibitions and events, outlined on the What’s On page.

Eating & Shopping

The in-house Cafe North serves a range of cakes, bakes & hot drinks.

The Museum Gift Shop has lots on offer; stationary, greeting cards, creations by local supplier, beautiful soft toys, holiday mementos, fine & handcrafted jewellery. A collection of books – from factual, to fun & a gorgeous array of children’s books – there is something to be had for all.

The Caithness Room here at North Coast Visitor Centre is used for bookings, events and meetings, and is a multi-purpose rental space. The room has fold-able tables, chairs, and a projector screen.

We also encourage school and after-school-club visits to see around the museum, where we can offer space, facilities, or a guided tour.

The North Coast Visitor Centre is jointly funded by The Highland Council and NRS Dounreay.
