The day was dry, clear, but blustery and our ship was the only cruise ship scheduled in port that day, normally 3 to 4 cruise ships are docked each morning for the day. The train accessed a rail spur allowing boarding near the ship, but the terminal in town is not a long distance if lacking mobility issues. Each car has outside viewing areas, and clean bathrooms, but unlike the staff, guests are not allowed to move between cars. If you spy an issue with your fellow rail car guests upon boarding like small screaming children I would change cars quickly after boarding. Even though water was provided with my fare I would suggest packing water jugs or bottles, and some nibbles ( I packed some yummy freshly baked cookies from a lounge on my ship) for the 3 hour ride, inexpensive snack boxes were sold on the return trip from the summit as were White Pass & Yukon Route ball caps for $15. Windows are large, but if you want the river view as you ascend the 20 mile climb to the summit then sit on the left side, when returning the right side faces the chasm. Ascending and Descending you should pass several White Pass Rail Trains so wave at your fellow tourists. Overall a nice experience for me, with great views. This is a seasonal experience that mirrors the Alaska cruise season, and it takes weeks to prepare the rail for each season.

Beautiful and Historic Ride, Worth the Experience! I have to…read moreadmit, I started this experience feeling a little stressed. We were sailing on the Star Princess and needed to be back on the ship by 4:30 PM, but our White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad train was supposed to arrive at 1:00 and didn't actually arrive until 1:25. Since it's about a three-hour ride, I was worried we might not make it back in time for sail away. Thankfully, we did make it back on time! As soon as we got on the train, though, I was able to relax and really enjoy the experience. It truly felt like stepping back in time. The narration throughout the ride was fantastic and filled with fascinating historical facts. I had no idea how many people once hiked that route or how grateful everyone was when the railroad was finally built. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and the whole experience was unforgettable. One funny note: I've flown on planes and cruised on ships without ever getting motion sickness, but somehow I ended up getting train sick! The constant back-and-forth movement got to me, even though everyone else seemed completely fine. That was just me and definitely not the railroad's fault. Overall, this was such a unique and amazing experience, and I'm really glad we did it. If you're visiting Skagway, I would absolutely recommend the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad!

They offered a BBQ chicken (only dark meat), a half of a baked potatoe pp, and a small scoop of coleslaw. The drinks were coffee, tea, and / or water from containers located around the sitting areas. There were dinner rolls (the best part of the meal) and some small donuts as dessert. I'll definitely recommend the place for a stop due to the activities but definitely not for their food.

The McBride Museum has a large collection of relics and photographs from the gold-rush days. These include the log cabin belonging to Sam McGee about whom Robert Service, "Bard of the Yukon", wrote a famous ballad. There are also numerous bits of old machinery and implements and an interesting display on the wildlife of the Yukon.

The guy at the transpo museum didn't know or tell me that. So already I like this place. Then, I'm whisked outside because they're about to do an atlatl demonstration and lesson. I have now successfully launched a dart from an atlatl! (It's like a woomera, in case you're wondering.) The rest of the museum was okay - it had a nice collection of fossils, including extinct animals, but nothing really said which ones were real bones or not. (In hindsight, I have doubts that most of these are actual bones as opposed to castings or inferences based on the few real bones that were found. But only some items were labeled as replicas, which is why I don't know about the others.) There's a decent amount of learning if you've never heard of the land bridge, but otherwise you're mostly there to walk through fossils for a bit. Thanks to the friendly attitude and atlatl throwing, this gets a star up on the transpo museum. I would definitely do both or neither in order to get your money's worth. Was it worth it overall, for $12 for the pair? Honestly, I think the atlatl makes the difference. So there's your insider tip.

I learned of some of the different type of wildlife that existed then and the related species that are around today. Interesting!! They have a little kid area in the front for them for interactive learning and an area talking about the First Nations. I believe they have some quick tours provided by a speaker who tells you more information about the place as well, but we didn't have time. Oh, yes, and they also have some ice age fossils and artifacts including a woolly mammoth and flat head bear. I'd say to spend between a good hour or two here.

We initially thought it was just a lunch stop but in addition to lunch there is a petting zoo, dog sleds, gold panning, two museums and a gift store. Lunch options were chicken bbq or curry. The curry was essentially lentils served atop rice. Coleslaw, roasted potato, fresh bread and donuts were included on the plate as well. After getting a heaped serving, I was trying to find my way to a table when a woman welcomed me to Yukon and asked if she could help in anyway. She had the most pleasant demeanor and rustic country charm and immediately made me feel welcome and at home! I am assuming she is one of the owners or managers of that place. Anyway, after being spoilt by some excellent cruise food, I was surprised I enjoyed this simple meal so much! The chicken was delicious all the way through. But, they definitely don't know how to cook rice, lol! It was hard and uncooked, the lentils were ok. Next stop was the taxidermy museum. It was stunning with several varieties of animals. There was a mammoth as well (this was obviously not a taxidermy). Not just the kids, I had fun exploring this museum as well. Outside there is a goat petting zoo which had the most obnoxious stench, I could barely tolerate it. But the place also had some alpacas which looked adorable. We didn't do the dog sleds but visited the dogs and they just wouldn't stop barking!! We spotted some goats on the hillside behind and were amazed by how aptly they were positioned.
