I went with my husband and two kids under two years old and it was amazing. First of all, we live in whitehorse and never had never been before because I always thought it would be drab, but I was SO wrong. It actually feels very lively and the history of the Yukon really seems to come alive in front of you. There are some great exhibits, an awesome train that kids will love, a hanger complete with a kid friendly control panel, a play room, projector, letters from the gold rush, and an outdoor area as well (and much more!) We played outside in the big sandbox, which has tons of trucks and toys. We rode a funny bike-rickshaw around, and just admired all the old equipment. It really is an amazing place! You can rent bikes here as well. They even have old Yukon license plates for sale - if you can find one with letters/numbers of any significance it would make a very cool souvenir. Memberships are a very reasonable price. The Transportation Museum is gem, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting whitehorse as well as any locals looking for a fun and interesting way to spend a morning or afternoon.
5. Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre

The wooly mammoth family beckons you from the highway and you can see the yellow rib like structure of the center from the road. Don't pass it by. Loaded with displays and exhibits and a film for you to educate yourself on the land bridge. You'll learn how it formed, the climate conditions, how the animals migrated (both ways) and which survived and which didn't. And fossils! Even the walk to the center is interesting with sculptures of ice age animals. Enjoy! We're return visitors. Always something new to learn from the well informed staff. Thanks.

Reviewed By annhappy2016 - Chesterfield, United Kingdom
Saw this briefly as oart of a city tour ru by Northern Tales. Not much to see but fascination that it is so long, but at least Whitehorse has made the effort to help salmon migrate. Sad to hear that there are so fewer salmon around these days.

Great opportunity to see a wide variety of wildlife in a short period of time. Very nice enclosures as well, the animals seem to have a lot of space. Nice 5km loop walk or you can take a shuttle.

This historic old Sternwheeler shows you what it must have been like to travel in the days of the Klondike and Alaska Gold Rush. They have guided and self guided ours and both are great. The days of the gold rush must have been amazing and our ancestors that led the way must have been amazing and courageous individuals.. Be sure to watch the video for a good overview of what it was like.

Nice stroll along the Yukon River, I'd rate as an easy hike with good variety of trails. Looking for more challenging try Grey Mountain.
