I’ve been to Churchill for work. The best time is the fall, that’s when polar bears are around in big numbers, as they wait for the ice to freeze up.
The only way to get there is to fly from Winnipeg or maybe Thompson.Flights are not cheap. The train tracks are washed out.
Churchill is insanely expensive. There’s no reason to go there for more than 1-2 days. It’s quite tiny and boring, beyond the polar bears and the beluga whales in the summer. Tourist season is also the very expensive season.
Churchill is insanely cold. The wind whipping off the Hudson’s Bay along with the already cold air masses.
My advice is that unless you’re very rich, don’t go. It is poor value for money.
