This museum is an informative look into the past of the area. The movie presentation, while a tad dated, was an excellent visual representation, and the displays were great as well. Worth your time is to try the sabre throwing outside and try to knock down some of the wooden animals, much like our ancestors did many centuries ago. Well... More

This is a small interpretive centre,however the staff are wonderful at answering questions and being there to offer information.The videos were great and the displays are incredible. A lovely way to spend a few hours and to become informed of life many millennium ago in the Yukon.

This place takes you back to the legends of the First Nations and the proof of some stories. It is hard to believe what used to life here and was frozen in the permafrost.

Well worthwhile visiting, especially if you catch the film show. Lots of information to absorb: I for one did not realise that camels originated in America!

There isn't a lot to see but what they do have is interesting. The staff were fabulous and really helpful and friendly. The film we saw was really interesting and worth taking the time to watch.

Hard to catch the Centre when it is open. Very limited schedule, perhaps caused by limited staffing.

This is a modest little museum specializing in the area called Berengia, the land bridge between Alaska and Siberia. There are enough stuffed and skeletonized animals and exhibits to make any age kid happy, a great little movie about the era and land, and the friendliest staff and "rangers" anywhere. If you're game you can try your hand at throwing... More
