You almost have to seek this "park" out, as it's a small discreet building off the edge of Pioneer square. From the first step through the doors you'll be surprised; the interior has been very well finished and equipped with exhibits and artifacts - everything in a very good state of repair too. Rangers are very welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly... More

More to see than appears from the street. There's a lot of history to read, so give yourself plenty of time to enjoy it.

I had no idea that Seattle played such a huge role in the Klondike Gold Rush. I don't want to give anything away but this little museum is really worth seeking out. I particularly liked the film (about 25 minutes) recommended by the Ranger at the desk. If you can, watching it before you wander through the rest of the... More

We liked this museum, not too small and not too big. Several interesting movies to watch and a nice walk through the museum. It gives a very clear impression of the conditions of those seeking their fortune as gold diggers. Entry is free - nice!

Very interesting subject, at the right price - free! Very close to other attractions in Pioneer Square - worth stopping in if you want to learn a little history.

Hard to think of a building as a national park but this small space was a highlight for us in Seattle. The kids really enjoyed the Jr Ranger activities they had and my wife and I found the exhibits really informative. Great overview of the Klondike gold rush.

What would you like to know about the Gold Rush? Do you know how many people boarded ships in Seattle to head for the Alaskan goldfields? What did they have to go through? Amazing photos and fact filled find. Take some time to spend in America's smallest National Park! It's true! This is it!

It took me awhile of looking at the exhibits to figure out what was the reason for this museum being in Seattle. It turns out that Seattle was a place where people came to get supplies prior to going to Canada and Alaska to search for gold in the Klondike Gold Rush era. That's it. Big deal. There are some...
