I love this place and go there every time I'm in the area. It's usually when I'm on an Alaska…read morecruise. This location has beautiful rubber stamps to Commemorate your visit if you have a National passport stamping book. The exhibits onsite give you a feel for what the prospectors had to go thru to try to get to the gold Fields. It looked like the golden staircase had huge step ups on the way up the trail. And it said each miner had to have 2,000 pounds of food, so they had to make lots of trips up and back to take all that food up the trail.

Visited the historic park and really enjoyed it. It tells the fascinating story of the Klondike…read moreGold Rush, including how gold was originally discovered in 1896 by Skookum Jim Mason, his nephew Dawson Charlie, his sister Kate Carmack and brother in law George Carmack, which quickly sparked a rush of prospectors hoping to strike it rich. The museum is run by the National Park Service and does a great job of bringing the history to life. I especially enjoyed the film explaining how the discovery unfolded and how it transformed the region almost overnight. It's incredible to imagine the hardship people went through to get there in search of gold. Even Jack London made it up to the Klondike when he was only 20 years old, which adds another interesting layer to the story. Overall, a very well-presented and informative experience that's definitely worth a visit -- It's free.
