Begin with the guided tour. The 5-minute film and 40-minute walk through the manufacturing facility offer a fascinating look at how Canadian coins are made. Arrive early enough to secure your ticket and settle in before the light changes outside.
18:36
Step out of the Mint and walk west to Vermillion Park. It is only a short 13-minute stroll. Position yourself in the park facing east toward the Mint. As the sun sets toward the WSW, the fading golden light will cast long shadows across the Mint’s distinctive architecture, providing a striking silhouette against the darkening sky.
19:06
After the view fades, head back to the Mint area. Since there are no food or drink options listed in the immediate vicinity, check the route for the nearest dinner spot. The Mint’s location at the junction of Highways 1 and 59 provides easy access to the city’s dining districts if you wish to extend the evening.
Local tip
The Mint offers virtual tours on Tue-Sat, but the in-person guided tour is the best way to experience the facility. Tickets are $10 for adults.
