This was an amazing museum, with a display of animals that included the largest moose I have ever seen in my life! It was an amazing way to see all the animals that call the Yukon home. It also contained historic artifacts of life in the Yukon, from First Nation depictions up to the Gold Rush life. I try to... More

Animals, buildings, stage coaches,... More
